A video camera on your music player
This small, compact and portable gadget has a video camera with a large 2.2 inch screen. The camera with a lens of the size of a bead is located at the lower back of the iPod.
The iPod Nano camera, with an in-built microphone, is very easy to use and can be accessed only after two clicks on its menu.
It has a 640x480-pixel resolution and can sync with most video playback and streaming software. While the iPod Nano 8GB size can store up to impressive 7 hours of captured video, 7,000 photos and 2,000 songs, the 16 GB model can store up to almost double these figures. It is difficult to find such massive storage in any other model as small and light as iPod Nano video camera.
You can create special Hollywood video effects by choosing anyone of the 15 options such as film grain or motion blur. Just scroll down the menu to select video camera and take your pick of Hollywood effect and start recording the fun event in any portrait or landscape you like.
You may post your recordings in your Facebook or YouTube pages or send them by email to your friends.
Problem with video
1. The quality of the videos shot by the iPod is not as good as expected.
2. It cannot take still photos.
3. Although the small, sleek and lightweight of the iPod Nano is one of its most attractive features, its very same virtue often produces shaky videos.
4. You have to buy a video dock or third party output device to view your video recordings on your TV.
Conclusion
Although some of the features of the video camera may not come up to your expectations, its down-to-earth low price and the abundance of features can compensate for them. Compare it with other video cameras which cost as much as Nano, but have only a fraction of its features.
