I find this camera fascinating. Well, not necessarily the camera itself, more the uses it has and the focus Sony has made on re-using it time and time again.

If you don't know, this is a USB camera which is intended for use with the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3). It consists of a fairly low resolution camera on a swivel and tilt base with a microphone. It is a pretty basic design. It was originally created for the intention of personalising the PS3 and it's games as well as enabling you to video chat through the Playstation Network (PSN). In an annoying move, Sony appeared to have made this the only compatible USB camera for the PS3 in order to boost their sales of the rather overpriced device. Sales of the PS Eye were rather small until Sony released the PS Move which used the PS Eye as the primary sensor for the peripheral. As the PS Eye became an essential for a number of games instead of an expensive add-on, sales rose greatly.

As I have mentioned, the capabilities of the camera as a video capture device are pretty low. The resolution it captures is a mere 640?480 @ 60Hz which does not perform greatly in low-light situations but offers decent clarity in high-light ones. The colours captured by the camera are often dull and unrealistic. For this reason, pictures from this camera are poor but video for streaming is usually the best experience mainly because of the low-quality file it produces being easy to transmit.

The PS Eye features a swivel and tilt base which enabled precise angling of the camera for all situations. No matter what angle you place it at, it maintains stability through the use of a large base which has a foam-like pad at the bottom to discourage (but certainly not prevent) slipping.

Summary: Only essential for the PS Move and if your only choice is to video chat using the PS3
