submitted by Honestly reviewing - 2 months ago
A: Iv read several places that it's only 480, really a shame because I'd buy it if was 1080, and for the price it should be a 1080p sensor isn't that much today

480p?!? It’s 2025 and no reason to have less than a 1080p camera. Quality is awful which is a shame because the idea of it is awesome
Do not buy- horrible camera

The camera quality is HORRIBLE which is such a shame because it’s so cute (especially compared to the normal camera) but since the camera quality is so bad it’s literally pointless to get. Buy the plain black one instead
More Expensive and Worse than the official one

It's such a shame that the camera quality is so terrible because the product is made very well. I can't recommend this for the camera but it would look so cool as a paper weight. Unfortunately, I have to return this for the boring looking Nintendo camera.
Doesn't meet the specs for camera related gameplay

It looks good, and having the mouth act as a privacy screen is clever. That said, it doesn't actually work for Mario Kart, Switch 2 Tour, and likely any other game that uses the camera. It would be a simple video chat device, but any of the image recognition features do not work, presumably due to the low resolution.
Piranha plant looks cute, but please dont buy it.

This Switch 2 camera looks cute but it has a 480p resolution whereas the official Nintendo camera has a 1080p resolution. Buy that one instead and get a better image quality for $5 less.

Twitt - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
It's cool looking, but that's about it. The picture quality is grainy and the "bendable" stem is almost impossible to get right where you want it as it is constantly trying to bend back to the straight position.
Gifted from a friend, but it is terrible

quality is 480p. In 2025 this feels so useless. The video quality is far too bad for a $60 camera. I have a 10 year old $20 logitech camera that is much much much better than this. At least it will look cool on my shelf. I is a really big shame, because the posability is extremely good, and the mouth closes to block the lense for privacy. The base allows it to sit on your monitor or the switch easily... but the video quality is so so bad.
