Not content with revealing the PlayStation Eye camera, Sony has now announced Go!Cam, a new photographic add-on for PSP. Here's the press release stuff:

To be released on 16th May 2007 across Europe and the PAL territories, Go!Cam promises to bring the creativity of film, photos and the fun of PSP together to create a camera for all ages and all occasions. With a retail price of €49.99 (£34.99), Go!Cam is yet another example of how PSP is a mobile entertainment system with no limits. With up to two and half hours video recording time and the ability to take and store over 40,000 photos, Go!Cam seamlessly converts PSP to a portable, functional and fun camera.
Go!Cam offers a built in microphone to ensure continuous audio, the ability to change the direction of the camera lens vertically by 180 degrees and Go!Edit, an editing software package which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips.

Apparently, users are also able to upload images and video directly from PSP to the internet, which is quite a nice feature considering how popular moblogging is becoming - and this is bound to be a more user-friendly system than mobile phone. Isn't it?

So what's so amazing about a 1.3 megapixel camera attachement. Will the go Cam create clear photos or clear videos? does anybody know?

They might look clear on the PSP's screen. My phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera and they look very decent.

Well, in the bundle you get a UMD disk with software to edit pictures and video, lay over sound/music and so on...it`s ok, but no Hollywood scenes will ever be created using it...I`ll try to play around with it, and see if it`s any good...

**sqrtlsqd7** · 05-12-2007

i hope sony announces that it will come out in the us soon too

But the important question is will it be able to capture some Paris Hilton nightvision action????

Seriously! Does that mean you could import an avi video to the software and play it on there?

**IWAO** · 05-12-2007

Wow it will actually be released on my birthday,so i think i'm getting it at launch day,but it's a good choice for me,and the other PSP owners over the world.

Well it is the same thing. Just different names but that doesn't mean that everybody has heard of it before

**killzone_71** · 05-13-2007

My thought too... I`m trying to figure it out now...

Anyone know how they managed to affiliate the .THM file to the AVI file? It`s unreadable in notepad....kinda...

Lol

.THM files are thumb nail files... A.k.a. Bitmap can open them. The PSP automatically associated a .mp4 file with a .THM file because both of their name are supposed to be the same (except for the extension, of course).

Ok, smart a$$ - tell me how I can create thm files for AVI films? That`s what I was wondering about... READ, then comment
I used notepad to see if there was any information I could edit, cuz usually thumbnail files and playlist files are easily modified in notepad....
So how do I create a .thm file for my .avi movies?
