I bought this iPod to use as the digital component of my music collection. I own approx. 1,000 records, so I use this iPod to hold the digital files of music that I enjoy listening to but can't get on records. 16 GB holds about 3500 songs @ 160 kbps, so you'll have plenty of tunes to listen to and the FM radio is also a really nice feature. The voice recorder is great for recording lectures and presentations, and the video camera is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but in my opinion, it's way better than the current Nanos Apple makes!
I had one of these when they first came out and I loved it. It's lightweight, simple to use, sports the classic iPod style and even had a video camera. However, it was stolen a couple months after I got it and I've wanted another one ever since. I'll use my previous as well as my current experience to lay out the pros and cons of the iPod Nano 5G. PROS + Extremely Light: This could also be a con since it's easy to forget it's still in your pocket. + Sleek: it's cool looking and is smooth to the touch + Classic iPod Dial: I had an iPod Video up until recently when the motherboard on that device failed, and I don't like having to use a touch screen on my music device; the dial is perfect for skipping songs or pausing while the iPod is in my pocket. + Video Camera: Not something I use often but is great to have just in case. + Strong Battery: Power isn't a problem with this since there's no touch screen to drain the battery all the time. + Radio Tuner: I work at a radio station and having the ability to tune in is a big bonus! CONS - Storage: Maxing out at 16GB isn't ideal for someone with a large music library. - Fragile: If you don't have an extra case on it, the iPod feels like it could be damaged by even the lightest of bumps. - Video Camera: Yes, this is both a pro and a con. The camera ONLY takes video, no photos. Kinda dumb. Overall, this device is worth it if you can find one in relatively good condition. It's so good that I think Apple will likely bring these back as a "Retro" item and charge a fortune for it so best to hop on one of the fifth gen. ones while you can.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
One of the most awesome mp3 that anyone could buy, from those that like to make short films to those who just use it for the regular basis. I would consider this product to many due to the excellent features plus the name says it all "Nano" (light weight, and prefect design for those hard core runners). The nano 5th gen. can not be compare to any other mp3's out there. The newest nano is awesome as well but it just lags one thing where's the camera? But over all any nano's from the past to newest and any other apple iPod products is worth the investment. Happy bidding everyone!
Love all of the features including the wheel. I did not want the 6th generation due to the poor reviews in regard to handling while running or on the treadmill. The 5th generation is everything and then some with the pedometer, radio, video etc. It is so much better than the new 6th generation, user friendly. The only negative is that you have to use the arm band while running or a pocket. No clip due to the size.
this ipod is very user friendly. clear step to step format. we paid the extra money to include the video as this feature allows chances to capture rare moments. love the way it can fluctuate between horizontal to vertical screen images. it can hold a lot of photos and still have enough memory for lots of music. the headphones are interchangeable with other types which is helpful. my son loves his and so my daughter bought one as well!
