ipod touch with buildin camera?

Posted:
in Future Apple Hardware edited January 2014
Hello, Guys



I am planning to buy a compact camera soon. But I am wondering if apple will update ipod touch with camera soon? If so, and the camera can also do video (not necessary to be full HD), then I will just buy another ipod touch.



I do know even there is ipod touch with camera buildin coming, it could not replace a compact camera. But I just want something I can take with me everyday and do snapshot as I see and as I want. Plus ipod touch can do much more than compact camera.



So if someone has any info, please share.



I read Engadget for a rumor that this spring, apple will release the buildin camera ipod touch. But I am not sure how reliable that could be.



Please help.



Thanks,

    Most likely between now and September.

    I'm still waiting for the FM radio firmware update/app, and rumors about that began 5 months ago.

    Never thought of the radio stuff for ipod touch. It would be a nice feature to have tough.

    There were rumors about that for a while after the new Nano was released. Apparently the 2nd gen. and current iPod Touches have FM tuners, which haven't been activated yet.

    If you want a camera, get a camera. The camera on a phone or other device is convenient. But it's not a "real" camera. Even a 12 MP camera on a phone cannot get you anywhere near the results you can get from a $100 compact.

    Well, you are right and you are wrong here.



    I said in my original post, I would need a device either compact camera or ipod touch with builtin camera to be with me all the time. So I can take snapshot as I see and as I want. It will be a visual log thing. If I really want sharp result, I have my nikon dSLR for the job.



    Thanks though.

    Na, I don?t believe Apple would update an already-hot product in the middle of the largest buying season of the year. How many people do you think would have bought the September Touch as a gift, and simply return it to get the latest and greatest? As retail goes, that?s a suicidal move.They would be much better off waiting until at least a few weeks after the new year - long after packages have been opened and new toys played with - to introduced iPod touch 3.5. They?ve done this before a couple of times with iPods, anyway.
