ABK_Lotus Pod has just posted some pretty cool images on his newly recieved Chotto (PSP Camera).

BOTH TAKEN WITH THE CHOTTO





As you can see from these pictures, the quality of the images is very good. Since the screen is only 480x272 1.3 megapixels is all that is needed for good picture taking quality.

What We Know:
-The UMD comes with 2.82 update, but only requires 2.8
-The UMD disc is required to take images or video
-Images takes are sent to PSP/Photo/CHOTTO_SHOT/
-There seems to be 2 settings for taking pictures, indoors and outdoors
-Videos are takes in BHC format, but you can convert then to AVI.
-Once in AVI they are sent to PSP/Video/CHOTTO_SHOT/
-You can only take 15 second videos, but they have good audio and sound.
-The Photo Editting UMD allows you to add effects to the pictures "such as Bars (to give the effect your in prison:smileyvery-happy, Flames, Stars, etc, etc. And to say stuff like happy birthday and such, You get the picture."

Compared to a Nickel!

What it Comes With:
-Chotto Camera
-Camera Case
-Editing UMD Software (Half Japanese, half English, but understandable)
-Software manual (All Japanease), First Step Guide(All Japanease), and the Camera Attachment Instructions (Section for English)

I would like to thank hey u at the Sony official forums for this little piece of info. He pointed out that when you update, you are agreeing to a contract, since minors can have a binding legal document this means the update agreement is not valid. He also pointed out that if a minnor updated he should be able to have his PSP restored to the origanal conditions (1.5 or 2.6 with a new motherboard) He also stated that a court could claim that a person who updated was not a minor since there was no evidence. If anybody feels like testing the system make a video of yourslef update to a new firmware and show some kinda of identification (student ID, library card, drivers licease, etc). 

"A minor is someone under the age of 18 years according to the Births and Deaths Registration Amendment Act (No 1 of 2002) . This is called the age of majority. The age of majority was reduced from 21 to 18 years by this Act. A minor who enters into a contract without the consent of the parents or guardian does not have to keep to the contract. But, if the minor says he or she is older than 21, then the person who entered into the contract with the minor can sue for damages."

I made this version a few weeks ago, but never released it.
