PSP Camera seen at E3 |
Ó
Here's the first shot of Sony's upcoming camera attachment for the PSP. This shot was taken by journalists at this years E3 gaming expo in LA. To me, it looks just like a smaller EyeToy, but it does fit in well with the PSP's styling, and should look something like this when it comes out in September.
It looks like it will eat up the PSP's battery life too. Most UMD games can get 4 hours out of the PSP whilst on the lowest brightness setting, but I'm willing to bet that this peripheral will half that.

thats cool
I have been waiting for this ever since i bought the psp. This is going to be so cool and who cares if it takes up battery life thats what a chargers for. right?
Is this also a digital camera to take pictures or can it be a mini eyetoy for the PSP anybody know if it will be at least a 3.1 megapixel camera..either way its a great idea and good to see it will be coming out
I think I will be sticking to my phone camera. As its ALOT smaller than my psp with attachment camera add on
Just my 1 pence worth
yea i wana know if i can take pics with it, dat wuld be hot!
"Most UMD games can get 4 hours out of the PSP whilst on the lowest brightness setting"
I don't think so buddy. Did you buy your PSP at a junkyard? I mean common, 4 hours?? more like 8 especially at the lowest brightness setting.
My advice to you; get a new psp. You know, one actually made by sony.
Will there be a mic to record sound?
I hope so
i hope you'll be able to record video (with sound) and be able to watch it through the XMB
now that would be cool
Are you stupid as hell? No way can you get 8 hours out of the stock battery on low brightness with a UMD. 4 is probably with a not-so-often spinning game aswell.
Thats the worst Joke I've ever heard. It doesn't get 8 hours just sat there on the lowest brightness setting. Never mind while it plays a UMD.
I still don't see how this is going to be put into games though. I can see why people will want to use it as a Camera, but whats it going to do for games? Check how much your smiling?
this makes punejap horny....
guyz go under settings>system>battery info. now u post a screenshot with that sayin 8 hrs. mine is a bit under 4.
wait no its 9 hrs.
I can get around 12 with the screen off, stock battery at full charge, playing music at 3/4 volume.
"Most UMD games can get 4 hours out of the PSP whilst on the lowest brightness setting"
More like 8 hours on lowet brightness, and that's an average. I get about 10 hours on Lumines.
BETTER PICS: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/12/e3-psp-camera/
I normally get about 6 hours on the highest brightness, with the music on at about half.
Why is there always someone compalining about something (realising that he is now complaining) Why can't you just talk about the camera add on?
Camera add on could be good, but hopefully they will listen to some of the suggestions here. I doubt it'll be high res though, probably 640x480 (0.3megapixel) but they might make it lower so that it fills the PSP screen.
Of course you won't be able to play the same games you play on your PS2 with the PSP Eyetoy. One thing is for sure the DS has Touchscreen with a stylus, the PSP has a camera that will sense your finger without even touching or even worst scratching your PSP. Nice comeback $ony.
no one has a "special" psp.
playing games that use umd too much, you will have between 3 and 4 hours with max brightness and sound.
even if you set the brightness to the lowers, sound in the headphones and a game that doesnt read the umd much (any puzzle?), you will have 5 hours at most.
playing music is normally more than 5 hours if you are on phones, since the screen gets turned off, but use the speakers and itll be less again.
so i'd say the average would be about 4 hours.
i remember an article way back when that said that sony is going to come out with a new battery that lasts 2 times as long as the other, we use now a lithium ion battery and they said that it is a methanal ion battery. so what ever happened to this so called battery or is it just bull? i mean its only practical to come out with another battery so that developers can use the full power of the psp.
not to be mean..but y the ***** is it facing the wrong way
Well they released a new battery, but that only gave an extra 200mAh. I've been waiting for this promised extended life battery aswell, but it's a no show :(
will you be able to record video with this if you can it prolly will take up a lot of space one the memory card
I took a picture (Digital Camera) of me with the Camera attached to the PSP, I can tell the PSP Camera have water effect and my face look weird.
The camera is rotatable btw
was it good quality then?
sharp?
Man I feel this is going to trouble some of us 1.5 users as all these new attachments are going to need.....i dont want to say it.........nooo....................FIRMWARE UPDATES!!!.... ALONG WITH THE PS1 EMU, HARD TIMES FOR US 1.5 USERS ARE AHEAD who knows maybe someone can add a crack so thay are supported but i higly doubt it
what about resolution for pictures? i hope it would be at least 2megapiksels (1600x1200)
strate garbage waste of $$$$$
damn i hope this will t\be able to be used as an actual camera to take pictues. and video recording(with sound) beign able to be played back on the psp would be HOT!!!!!
As mentioned by IGN a few days ago, the camera was very delayed and pictures were not all that great
Of course the psp will read 8-9 hours when nothing's happening, but once the umd's spinning, and the games' playing, that estimate drops dramatically.
And as for the eyetoy, this is something i am definitely looking forward to.
If you take care of your battery and have it fully decharged before you charge it (if you do this always), the battery life will be much better. The psp's estimate isn't usually that accurate and I can get 6-8 hours on my psp. Note that this is without using UMDs (homebrew, movies, music, or self ripped iso's).
The camera addon is rather dumb. Why would you ever need a camera on the psp? It's even less useful than a cell phone camera (which probably most psp owners already have).
It has a decent resolution, but I can't think of any reason to really buy this.
If you think the battery life is to low, the buy a second one and the problem is solved. A second battery is cheaper than an UMD game... Camera? Lets watch what for games, applications and possibilities will com for the camera... Maybe a cool thing, maybe not...
playing UMD's i got about 7 hours with the brightness at medium and volume in high...
and for the camera i thinks this would be great if it can take videos with sound and take photos with 2.0 MP or more and have the ability to work like the eyetoy
Thats pretty sweet... but will it work like the ps2 eyetoy??? that would be awsome!
#34 Your wrong about fully discharging your psps battery before charging it again, that actually does more damage:
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
This site shows you how to prolong a lithium ion battery (like that of the psp)
i would update for this
i am the biggest retard on earth and i am homosexual
A/S/L ?
i am very interested in u... lets talk over msn ok?
xxx
Randy aka AnalGuy17 (18 and legal soon ;)
my msn screename is analassault666
maybe we can have three some
Comments 41-44 are now being tracked by their IP adress and will recive a ticket by next week.
it is just amazing that they would give it a camera. there was a kid not too long ago got kicked out of school or arrested because he had porn on his psp and had it at school. soon kids like that wont need to download porn they will just make some with this handy dandy little camera/eyetoy thing that sony has made.
Alot better pictures can be found here: http://www.ownage.nl/news/13824/
that means we' probly have to up grade to support this
damn thing
that means we' probly have to up grade to support this
damn thing
Yes the quality is good and I don't know if it sharp cuz of the glass display.
psporn here i cumm
I'm a homosexual and a bad admin.
i can get more than 8hours from UMD!
maybe American PSP's suck...
good: we get a f**kin camera
bad: eats battery life like a hummer eats gas
56th post
i wanna get laid..and take picutres with my psp..ds sucks *****
i cant frikin bilieve it!!! thats all i needed and ds is goin down!!!
i looked at it for quite a while at e3. i thought the quality was just ok. i don't think it was high resolution by any means. it just looked like a smooth webcam to me.
if it is pointing toward your direction, and we want to take a picture of something in front of the psp, how will we know what we are taking? It would be highly awkward to turn the psp backwards and take a picture without a digital guide to go by. Sony could easily fix this problem by making this eye toy 180 degrees rotational. And it can use the psp screen as a display guide. Otherwise, i would'nt want to take a picture turning my psp backwards.
this will be JUST like the camera for the GBC
it will fail miserably unless you get any real support when it comes to games and media
I cant wait for all the new good stuff like the PS1 Emu and Camera. Especially the PS1 so I can rip the hell out of Sony. You know you have to pay for the PS1 game downloads by now and I am willing to bet that you can save I to you PC or get it to your PC, and they will eventually end up on Limewire and Bearshare and all that for FREE!!!!Hell Ya, can't wait!!! IN YOUR FACE SONY FOR RUENING HOMEBREW WITH YOUR UPDATES!!
I have 5 hours of school and I always have my PSP with music even BEFORE going out and AFTER arriving home, so I listen to my music for about 6-7 hours, and my PSP's always at 40-60%. I don't use my volume on the max, close, but definetively not on the max.
So my guess is... around 10 hours?
Batery life wouldn't be a problem for me. People complain about 4ish hours being low, yet I can rarely find more than an hour or occasionally two to use it in a given day.
One issue is that it protrudes from the psp. It won't fit in the case with the camera attached and I'd be scared to put it in my pocket in the first place. Idealy, the UMD reader wouldn't be there and there would be a camera in its place, along with more batery space, memory, or something of that nature.
And, of corse, the firmware updates will be hell. I love my homebrew. ;_;
Uhmm,...... I don't think so man.... they'll ask you probably 4 a serial number.. or something like that
about the battery life. I have had 3 psps I returned 2 to get a perfect one.. I noticed each psp the battery life was different on all 3 when doing the same thing on all 3.. The first one I had the battery lasted about 6 in half hours while using umd game, with brightness all the way up. Second one was about 4 in half hours and 3rd one was about 5 in half to 6 hours..
I got a microphone attachment with a game -translator from Japan - it only lasted about a week - and now I cant get another one......
hte camera would wanna be more robust i rekon.....
wish it wasnt soo noticable and they would have kept with the slight hump idea ......i was really looking forward on pertending im playing a game but really zooming in on a fine chickz ass and snapping off a few...
then when she comes by i click home and menu quickly
hopefully sony wont make the eyetoy the only available camera and will later introduce a more pricy psp camera with quality to that of the cyber shot or let competitors have a go at making high quality cameras for it
anybody know if i can preorder the ps3 yet....i have $680 and am ready to preorder....except i want it around 3 or 4 months after the bugz get fixed with the first batch made...is that possible?
cant wait for this
I hope this can take pictures (at least 2.5 megapixels) and record videos too! Hopefully you can also point it in different directions by rotating it because it would be kinda stupid not being able to do that. DS has touchscreen but PSP has camera and most likely be able to use it somehow in games or something, even though I don't see how you can do that when the PSP's so small and not all people have the TV Tuner thing or w/e. Nice Sony haha.
Kevin102, are you retarded? It's a camera, of course you will be able to take pics. Do you think people will actually buy a camera which cant even take picture? Well it sounds like you are dumbg enough to.
That camera is looking sweeeeeeeet! I cant wait to give it a try on my psp!
Won't upgrade for this unless it's over 4MP ... otherwise its worthless
I guess im one of the few that thinks this is as lame of a gimmick as a dual screen hand held with a touch screen.
I just dont see my self needing or wanting this in the least....
***** a camera I want a better battery.
For the ps1 emu, it wouldn't be hard for sony to make the file only run on your mac address.
hope the camera hav functions like a picture editor or somthin, dat'll be cool man!
***** the PSP and ***** PS3 especially.
Look at the power button it is orange rather than green
That means that it's charging... Did you ever look at your psp?
No, My guess is they will make you pay and download all the games regardless of wether you own the original or not.
Lol what a Noob omfg
if its charging wheres the cord
Will this lead to the futures first public phone that you can see and talk to people with a PSP screen? Pretty sweat i would say!
mph will find out a way to scam it ahaha, i heard hescoming out with a new firmware launcher
I brought a PSP when they were launched in the UK six months ago - and its the worst £ 180 I've ever spent! What a load of f**king sh*t!
I made the mistake of upgrading from 2.00 to 2.60 for the sake of some stupid RSS feed which stutters along at the best of times! The only thing that made the PSP worth owning was the fact I could downgrade to 1.5 and play ROMs rather than spend 35 bucks on a game i'll probably only play once! B*llocks!
Who gives a f*ck about homebrew! What kind off sad f*ck sits and messes around with that!
hahahahaha!!!! Lol ...
thats cool
what if you can send pics to other people on psps or ob the internet? could this be the start of psporno?
iI think that it will be cool if you could use the camera as a video camera online when playing some games. and it is a great idea about the camera.
how do u take screen shots and i have FW 2.7
Im pretty sure that this is a mini Eye toy, I saw it on a magazine, and it says its coming in November or October in 2007
the camera is 1.3 mega pixels and can take only 15 seconds of footage at a time.
The camera is 1.3mp. It will be used for online and offline multiplayer gaming with a small box in the corner of your camera. It is like a display picture for playing games like SOCOM. There will be an official dock made by sony espescially for the psp. The camera is not finished and dont get your hopes up. It wont be available until Oct 2007. Enjoy
There will be no interaction with games, like the previous eye toy. The camera will require an update of 3.5. This was a webcam altered into a psp camera. The usb port was swapped around with the laptop attachment. The camera will not power save and the battery will hopefully last 5 hours if all goes to plan.
