Video face-off – iPod Nano 5G vs the rivals

Home / News / Video face-off – iPod Nano 5G vs the rivals

When Apple added a video camera to the iPod Nano, it picked a fight with a host of very capable pocket cams. As the Don King of gadgetry, we couldn’t help but organise for a tussle to take place – so we grabbed the Nano 5G, Flip Mino, Kodak Zi8 and iPhone 3GS and took them out to shoot test vids of our swans and a Pacman head.

The videos below are far from epic, but should give you a taste of each cam’s exposure, noise levels and colour reproduction. You can see more iPod Nano 5G vids in our unboxing – let us know your thoughts below.
