Photos and Video of iPod Touch With Camera Surface in Vietnam
Vietnamese site Tinhte has scored another Apple prototype, this time posting photos and videos of an iPod touch carrying a rear-facing camera. The device is a 64 GB model and carries a "DVT-1" designation, which stands for "design verification test", a typically late-stage testing model.
The prototype does not, however, appear to be a particularly new creation, as its serial number indicates that it was manufactured in June 2009. In addition, a codename of "N18" appearing on a sticker on the back of the device indicates that this is a third-generation iPod touch prototype with camera similar to one that surfaced in August 2009 just ahead of the iPod touch revision launch in September. Similar prototypes also briefly appeared on eBay late last month.
Apple is believed to have scrapped the camera from last year's iPod touch revision relatively late in the design process, but may still be planning to include one in future versions.

The iPod Touch will now be 2 generations behind the iPhone in terms of camera functionality. The least they could've done was make the camera similar to that in the 3GS if they weren't going to add a front facing camera.

I wonder what's Apple's take on all these leaks. Well at least we know that come September, the new touch will have a camera.

I'm not too fussed about it being 2 megapixel, I'd just like a camera on me for when I don't have my SLR. My Motorola Razr's cam doesn't really do anything.

Makes you wonder if Vietnam has an Apple store that is set 6 months in the future with all these leaks!

I am having a hard time believing that this is the next generation iPod touch (it looks like the leaked 3G version that we saw last year).
I would expect to see the iPod Touch that is released in September to have some of the design cues from the new iPhone.
That is just my opinion though.

Here's the thing... what's the point in cramming a high-megapixel sensor in such a tiny camera? Sure you get higher-resolution images, but the image quality suffers, as does low-light capability. I feel like between 2 and 3 MP is about right... going up to 5 or higher (the HTC EVO 4G will have an 8 MP camera) is just ridiculous.

I'd like to know how Viet Nam has got two of the leaks.

I don't think there is anything "wrong" with it being 2 megapixels. I think it's wrong that if Apple goes with the 2 megapixel camera that was in the original iPhone they will likely omit video recording, focus, white balance, Macro focus, tap to focus & exposure.
