Camera on the go!

The Gameboy Camera is a "game" for the Gameboy released in 1998 by Nintendo. It is a fully-functioning digital camera, and it takes greyscale pictures which are saved into the game's flash memory and can be printed using the Gameboy Printer (sold separately). The Main function of the Gameboy Camera is to take pictures (Duh!). The important thing to remember is that it was intended more as a toy than a serious camera -- so don't expect that you’ll be able to do any serious photography using it. However the black & white, low-resolution pictures have a certain charm to them. It has three minigames. These are: Run Run Run! a running race game which isn't very good, DJ a fantastic little application for making loops and beats, and Ball, a rather bad juggling game. The Gameboy camera also has various features which can be used to enhance your pictures: Trick lenses and panoramas. Trick lenses twist and warp your photos, and the panorama can be used to create stunning widescreen shots. Also there is a self-timer, for group photos and similar, and a time-lapse feature, for creating animations using sequences of photos. The gameboy camera is great. - it can be picked up cheap second-hand - is hard to break - and is very useful It won’t appeal to the serious photography crowd. But for some cheap entertainment, you really can’t beat it. Rating: 8 / 10Read full review
