Video is on par with the iPod iPhone 3GS, not better or worse but about the same quality. There are 15 different effects you can add to the video after you’re done recording. There is not any motion blur when recording fast moving video and the frame rate stays pretty consistent. Nice, crisp, sharp video capture at 640 X480 resolution and up to 30 frames per second with AAC. That’s what the iPod Nano has to offer.

It features a built in radio with large and attractive numbers to view the station you’re listening to. The iPod Nano is full of additional features like these and using the device is truly a lot of fun.

There is even a built in pedometer that lets you track the amount of steps you take on an exercise regimen. This can be useful for people who go on lengthy walks or are counting calories.

You can’t take any still pictures with this model, you simply have to do without. However, it’s the video camera that really stands out and makes the iPod Nano worth it. With the microphone, there is a little bit of wind noise but you’re going to have that with any microphone without a cloth cover.

The Apple iPod Nano 5G is built to endure constant abuse. It is made of strengthened aluminum that just doesn’t quit. You can throw it on the ground, drop it, tap it around and it still functions perfectly.

Overall, they put a lot of time into making improvements from previous versions of the iPod Nano and you can expect future versions to be very similar, including minor improvements. So, we recommend this iPod Nano 5G for anyone who needs a durable and thoroughly abusable electronic playback device that they can take with them anywhere.
