iCamera?

[phatsharpie]

to the iPod! That way the camera itself can be made cheaper... Maybe the iCam can have a flash memory card by default, but you can connect it to the iPod to use its internal harddrive for extra storage.

But that would force people to buy an iPod, manking many unhappy. and flash memory sucks.

cheaper than ipod? i doubt it...

even if this is a 2.1 megapixel cam with mpeg capture that would be $399...

the rumors are saying 4 megapixels... that would at least be $799

of course those are for USB / Smartmedia cams made by Nikon, Canon, etc....... add Firewire, Hard Drive / Apple Branding

and you have a 2.1 mega pixel cam coming in at $599 and a 4 mega pixel cam costing somewhere areound $899-$999

How do you figure a 2.1 megapixel camera with video capture for $399? Just a couple months ago I got a FugiFilm FinePix4700 4.32 megapixel digicam with video capture for about $300. Granted Apple will have a hard drive in thiers and FireWire, but they still could probably manage to keep the price at $399, equivilent to the iPod.

Canon PowerShot S110 Digital ELPH = $399

Nikon Coolpix 775 Digital Camera = $399

These are the two highest rated Digi 2.1 Cameras out there right now and both are $399.

Wherever you got yours from it was a good deal... but i'm just saying from my research into getting a camera (im this close to taking the plunge) this is kinda the price range that the 2.1's i was looking at were.

what do you think the cost of adding firewire and a harddrive would be?

I'd say probably $200 to slap FireWire and a 5gig compact hard drive onto a ~4 megapixel digicam like mine and they could sell it for $499, $100 more than the iPod but it would be even cooler than the iPod, well worth it.
