Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod nano 8 GB Silver (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Nice iPod...
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the compact size and weight. The video is clear and the sound is great. I have had to reset the unit twice as it became sluggish one time and completely stoppped responding another time. It's not really that big of a deal but it does reset minor menu settings. I chose this iPod because I wanted to upgrade from my little tiny Shuffle but didn't necessarily need 80 GB of space and really did want a smaller, compact unit. The price is the best I've seen anywhere online or in retail stores as you don't pay tax or S/H. I ended up paying just $139 out the door because I had a $50 Amazon giftcard. This is a great iPod if you want quite of bit of space to hold a lot of songs but not THAT much space and maybe don't really want to spend over $200.Customer Review: Good for Music, very, very bad for Photos
Summary: 2 Stars
TERRIBLE with Photos.
The ipod (with iTunes) "optimize your photos" taking around 1MB x photo, even at the 320x200 resolution.
I have a lot of digital photos. I have a folder with my original photos (around 15GB) and a folder with the all the photos reduced to 320 x 200 jpg resolution (around 450MB = 0.45 GB). When I syncronize, the photos take 7.10 GB of the space, leaving very little space for music/videos/etc.
Why if the photos are about 32 Kb each Apple has to "optimize" to 1MB (1024 Kb) ???
For the rest it's a nice piece. It's small, solid and nice. Good for music (the iTunes is the same crap and can be seen as regular only if you are familiar with)
Hope you find this usefull
Customer Review: Better size than 4th gen
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He's training for a marathon, and he's making use of the Nike website for runners--tracking his runs on his iPod. He was using a 2nd gen Nano, but he needed a newer one with more memory. He also didn't like the long, thin shape of the old Nano, which is similar to the shape of the newest Nano (4th gen). We were both happy to discover that we could still buy a new 3rd gen Nano through Amazon.
I think Apple needs to reconsider the size and shape of the iPod Nano when designing the next generation. The square 3rd gen fits more easily into pockets, armbands, etc. for people who use their iPods during athletic conditioning.
Customer Review: I Love this Nano 3G
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is awesome. I have the 80GB classic and i like this one much better. The click wheel is very responsive and the shape and size is perfect for what i use it for (in my car using FM transmitter). In fact, the wireless FM transmitter works even better on the Nano than on my 80GB classic.
IMO, the 4G Nano was oddly shaped and has useless features like the "shake" shuffle or the accelerometer which got alot of complaints. The 4G looks more like the successor to the 2G nano in terms of size and shape.
Get the 3G Nano while supplies last or you'll be paying a higher price for these later (black Nano @ $199).
Customer Review: iPod Nano OK - but over rated
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased the iPod Nano 3rd Gen for our 13 Yr old Son. He loves it for the games and the Movies. Not bad quality, but Waayyy to small of a screen for my taste. If you don't have the vision of a 13 year old kid, I would not consider this for movies and video. Additionally, when I compare the sound quality of the Nano to the IRiver we bought last year, the Iriver blows the Nano away - Hands down! Finally, the iTunes site is not as easy to navigate as compared to let's say Napster . .my personal opinion. Make sure you download in MP3 formate if you want to play songs on different devices.
