go!cam a gogo
this small camera is very good and easy to use at first i had a bit of trouble getting it started but now it works fine and the filming works well to.To get the most out of the camers i advise you to get a 4gb memory card because you have to download the go!edit softwear and if you have games saves on there that takes up place to but all in all im really peased with it ITS A MUST GET FOR PSP OWNERS !!!!!!!
Nice piece of kit
Got this on the day of release (Amazon superb as usual) and it's an impressive little gadget, not to be taken too seriously, though. It takes seconds to connect to the PSP and I started taking decent quality photos and movies immediately. Obviously not a digital camera replacement, but I don't think it was ever intended to be.
The Go! Edit software that I presumed would come on a CD, had to be downloaded from Sony and it took a lot of messing about before it would download properly. You don't have to download it if you don't want to and I found it a bit too gimmicky. Kids will probably have some fun with it, though. Overall, a nice little piece of kit.
Go!Cam (PSP)
I received the Go!Cam (PSP)from Amazon just 2 days after I ordered it and within 10 minutes I was using the camera. This tiny camera is 1.3 megapixel image & 30 FPS video quality and there is a built in microphone which works fine although the PSP seems to interfere with it. The 180 degree swivel for the lens is great as one can do video diaries and there is a Many mobile phones have this quality or better but are limited in screen size and memory. The PSP screen is big but in daylight difficult to see. The digital zoom is not that great and is stepped in 4 levels.
The Go!Cam has several adjustments for size and quality. Videos can be taken at full PSP res (480x272) at 30 fps and photos can be taken at either 480x272 or 640x480.
I have added 2 outdoor images so you can see for yourself.
I downloaded the latest firmaware update which has a camera icon under the Photo section. It does what it says and adds a new dimension to the PSP. There is a tiny plastic case which is a very good idea.
I can connect via USB cable to the PS3, swap memory stick of transfer my images and films to my PC and then play from my PS3 and copy to the PS3 HD. I have yet to figure out how to transfer via WiFi from PSP to PS3.
I am having problems registering for the free Go Edit! software as my PSP was purchased out from Lik-Sang in Hong Kong which Sony's lawyers have now closed down.
Good value! When will the PSP GPS be available?

Sony Go! Cam (PSP) Description
Take movies and photos on the move, with the PSP Camera. Launching across Europe on May 16, the PSP Camera combines existing PSP functionality with the ability to take your own movies and photos. This nifty piece of kit fits neatly into place on top of your PSP and incorporates a microphone for continuous audio recording, plus a vertical, 180 degree mount to position the camera lens either facing you - as you look into the screen - or directly away. Capacity varies based on resolution and the size of Memory Stick Duo being used, but on a 4GB Memory Stick you can easily capture over two hours of video or 40,000 photos. To make full use of the hardware and support your creativity, Go!Cam comes with access to Go!Edit, an editing software package with the ability to enhance your movies and photos with sound and graphical effects. System Software 3.00 is required to use both the PSP Camera and Go!Edit, which can be downloaded for free. Building upon existing PSP functionality, especially connectivity, Go!Edit also allows the option to upload creations onto the internet directly from your PSP, letting you share your masterpieces with the world.
