When that camera gets of such quality and capability that you’re proud to use it as your everyday camera for photographs, we call it an iSight camera. And the new iPad has a great iSight camera.
There’s been rumors for a while that Apple would create a small handheld device specifically designed for taking photos and video.
Except it wouldn’t have music or movies, you couldn’t do email. It would just do photos and video, but of course it would do them extremely well, and have an extremely cool touchscreen.
The re-branding of iOS rear-facing cameras as “iSight” cameras is odd to me. I don’t see people saying, “I took this photo with my iSight”. Instead, they’d mention their iPhone or iPad.
But… would they say that if Apple sold a standalone product called iSight?
