Arguably the biggest announcement of this week’s Apple event was the inclusion of a video camera in the latest generation of the iPod nano. That bit of news was only slightly unexpected: Rumors had circulated before Apple’s event that the iPod touch would be getting a camera or camcorder. Instead, it was the iPod touch’s tiny sibling that gained video-shooting capabilities.
The new Nano shoots standard-definition, 640-by-480 VGA video in MPEG-4 format. Missing from its skill set is the ability to shoot stills; the Nano’s camera captures video only. Also disappointing is the fact that you don’t get the full range of video-editing features that you do on the iPhone 3GS; on the other hand, you do get a nice range of fun video effects to choose from.
