I have been waiting to grab a PS4 because I thought the regular price was too high for the camera. After it went on sale for 29 bucks, I decided to get the new version. As far as I can tell there is no real difference in the specifications between this version and the older PS4 camera other than the outer design. I mainly got this in the hopes that now that the PS VR is now out that more and more games will start utilizing the camera. Unfortunately, there are not many games that utilize the camera to its fullest extent even with the VR.
I did expect the camera to have a bit better resolution than it has. The picture at times is pixelated, especially in low light. The camera does the job but the picture capability should be better. There is a build in microphone but the features of the camera seemed to be limited for the most part at least so far. I am hoping that more features will be added over time through the PS4 OS. You can log into the PS4 using the face recognition but at times it doesn’t work from only 6 feet away and really isn’t any quicker than just logging in with the controller.
The build quality of the camera is good although I think the attached cable could be a bit longer than the three to four feet that it is in length. The stand itself is ok as it is adjustable but it is limited to placing on a flat stable area as there is no way to wall mount it
The camera works fine for what it is but it is really limited in what it can do mainly because of the lack of software/game support and sparse feature capability of the OS. For 29 bucks, this is worth taking a chance that some new games will bring some of those compelling features to the camera. At full price, I would wait until it goes on sale.
