Folks at 9to5Mac have been informed through credible sources that the new iPod Touch 4 will indeed feature a back camera to shoot photos and videos, but it will be only be a 3.2 megapixel camera and not a 5 megapixel like the iPhone 4.
This coincides, partially, with the prediction made by UK retailer John Lewis that stated that the new iPod Touch 4 would feature a front-camera for video calls and FaceTime, while a rear camera would allow iPod Touch users to shoot photos and videos.
On a personal note we believe that front-facing camera and FaceTime on an iPod Touch is a no-no as it would increase the cost of manufacture significantly and perhaps for now all Apple wants is to keep the iPod Touch ever-affordable for users who want to have fun with iOS but do not want buy an iPhone.
The camera rumor is not all, we also hope to see a redesigned body for the iPod Touch 4 which will hopefully be released on a Apple media event this fall. Keep your fingers crossed!

Well that is a good news! I love camera!
well~ thats cool ~ wonder why it took them so long to put one in the first place. still not too late i guess ~ nice. Thanks for infos!
I am iPod fan having received my second one, a Touch 3G, back in June. While the iPhone is interesting, I have zero desire to join up with at&t and its policies. If/when it become available to any GSM provider, I will be happy to put my T-Mobile SIM in and go.
3.2 MP? fail.
I think it’s 0.7 MP camera on back..
