Talk:Game Boy Camera

message: Does anyone know the resolution of the camera?  It was the first digital camera I ever saw, before "megapixel" was even a word.  It would be an interesting comparison to today digital cameras. Crazym108 17:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In answer to my own question, the GB screen in 160x144 pixels.  Does the GB Camera take full screen pictures? If so, that makes it a 23 kpixel (.023 megapixel) camera.  Is that even worth mentioning in the article?Crazym108 17:54, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The resolution is 128x112 (the article here inaccurately states 128x123), that's 16x14 gameboy tiles... and in turn that would be around .014 megapixels. Hundphung 19:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct sensor resolution is 128x128.https://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/FinalProjects/f2012/qs44_twc55/qs44_twc55/datasheets/MITSUB_image_sensor.pdf Its effective resolution is 128x123, since that's the biggest output you'll get from the chip. The Game Boy Camera then crops this output to 128x112. I've edited the article and added citations as proof.A lot of articles and videos in the past few years cite 256x224 as the correct resolution. This is because they were citing Wikipedia. It's a case of circular reporting. 83.250.130.189 (talk) 00:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that the Driving Rain album cover was taken with the Gameboy Camera, however, the Driving Rain article says it was taken by a Casio Wrist Camera Watch, and cites the CD's booklet as a 'reference'.  Can anybody confirm this?  QBasicer 19:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know how many copies of the Zelda version of the camera were made? It was listed in the original article that had them for sale. I've lost the article since then, but I remember it wasn't very many.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.254.128.141 (talk) 21:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Zelda Edition

message: The article states that "The Game Boy Camera comes in 6 different standard colors: yellow, red, blue, green, teal, and violet, as well as a limited edition The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gold version" Now I have personally seen the Yellow, Red, Blue and Green versions, as well as the Japanese Clear Purple version (Dont know why its called violet in the article though) and the Gold/Zelda version.
However I have never seen a Teal version - is this just a 'guess' based on the standard color range of Game Boy Pocket/Color consoles? I googled for ages but found no other reference or picture of a Teal Game Boy Camera so doubt very much it existed. If no one can confirm its existence I will remove it from the article in a few weeks time. Link83 (talk) 15:52, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: There is no citation given for Driving Rain's use of the GB camera to take its album cover. The back photos were taken using a Casio Wrist Camera Watchhttp://www.jpgr.co.uk/p5355102.html, but I cannot find a source that specifically specifies the album's cover as being taken with the watch camera or the GB camera.

message: I need to call attention to the use of a Cracked.com article in the sources list. It's a funny website but the majority of the articles have a high amount of bias and it should absolutely not be used for sources on wikipedia. 64.213.222.97 (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Given the very small size of the sensor, the lens can't be a 20cm (200mm is a telephoto focal length with a 24x36 sensor).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.177.159.75 (talk) 19:27, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

message: So the gbc is still very active and I think that this is worth mentioning. However it is being deleted as a 'link farm' 
I agree that the original text was a link farm, but that doesn't mean that the info is not relevant. Any suggestions on how to describe this? 
Same for ways to get the data off the camera--Synethos (talk) 22:41, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, I am deleting my old comment because I hadn't seen the links you gave because you said they were a link farm! That's not a link farm; it's a list of mostly RSes. I figured they were just community hackers and modders. So I redesigned the article and included them. Good job. — Smuckola(talk) 23:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:   I'm glad that you agree! There is quite an active community out there doing interesting things with this camera. Can we also add something on taking the images off? Maybe even just mentioning that it is possible could help, as many people do not know that. Most of these methods are community hacks, so I am not sure how that would go. --Synethos (talk) 09:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

message: With the Game Boy Color very often described using the acronym on Wikipedia, using those three letters to describe the Game Boy Camera is confusing. Using *the camera* instead would be much better and cause no confusion with the GBC (Game Boy Color). Goomba-la-botte (talk) 15:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
