How Much Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera?

Thanks to a small but mighty 6% discount on Amazon, you can buy the Switch 2 Camera for just £44.49 today. Let's break this down further:

Unfortunately, this deal is only available in the UK, as the Switch 2 Camera is currently sold out on Amazon US. However, you can buy the camera in the US, albeit with no discount, from the following retailers:

Are There Any Alternatives to the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera?

Yes, the HORI USB Camera and HORI Piranha Plant Camera are two alternatives to consider, both of which are officially licensed by Nintendo.

However, neither of these cameras is quite as high-spec as Nintendo's real-deal. For example, where the Switch 2 Camera records in 1080p, the two HORI options can only hit 480p at 30 frames per second. They also don't offer as wide viewing angles — 85 degrees vs. the Switch 2 Camera's 110 degrees.

The only thing is that the HORI USB Camera is cheaper in the UK right now, despite this Switch 2 Camera deal. But, the difference isn't huge, especially considering how much of an upgrade the Switch 2 Camera is over HORI's best.

Should You Buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera Today?

Yes, you should consider buying the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera today, especially if you're in the UK.

Thanks to a limited-time 6% discount, the camera is currently available on Amazon UK for £44.49, making it a great value compared to its usual £47.32 price. While not a massive price drop, it adds to the appeal of an already high-spec accessory. The Switch 2 Camera outperforms its main alternatives, too, with 1080p recording, a smoother frame rate, and a much wider 110° field of view.

For US buyers, the lack of discounts and limited availability may be a drawback, but if you're in the UK, this is a solid time to upgrade your setup.
