Camera quality on the new iPod touch (latest gen.)

Hi guys,
I recently acquired a iPod touch, which I have really enjoyed.
I am considering an update on my iPhone to the 4.0, and I was wondering if the video camera quality in megapixels is the same on the iPhone as it is on my new iPod. The iPod video quality is OK; I'd give it a 6.5\10 outdoors and a 5\10 indoors, but I am looking for something a bit better to capture important events like family vacations, etc.
I think I have looked everywhere on the Apple website to see how these two cameras compare, but perhaps I have missed something. If anyone can provide a link to a page comparing the iPod and iPhone cameras, or provide comparative information, it would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This is kind of what I was getting at; even if the camera is somehow qualified at 5 MP, isn't it restricted by the pixel count or does it shoot at a quality that is somehow compressed on iPhone viewing and later suitable for burning to DVD for viewing on a normal TV?

  • Anyone got the new iPod touch 2nd gen to work with the fatman itube dock???

    Hi all,
    Recently for christmas I've bought a new iPod touch 2nd gen and it's awesome, everything is great about it - in my opinion; except for the fact that I tried to dock it on the fatman itube docking station and found it not to work. Before I used it I was aware that the 2nd gen is unable to charge on the dock however I didn't expect the speakers not to work too. All that happens is a message on the ipod comes up saying unable to charge with this accessory but doesn't put any sound output into the fatman, it just sits there blasting out it's own quiet internal speaker, and also strangely the remote DOES work too???
    I've read on the net that maybe resetting the ipod by holding the home+stand-by switch for 10 secs but this resets and does not fix the problem...
    There are many photos on the fatman website showing a ipod touch docked so it seems to be sold as working with it but who's to blame for this fault? Apple or fatman?? And does anybody know of a fix for it?
    Also I tried my mums ipod nano with the fatman - works fine, and my firmware on the ipod touch is nice and up to date with version 2.2 so I can't see anything else I can do. This was my christmas & birthday present and at the moment I'm quite annoyed that all I can do to it is stick a mini jack in the headphone socket - not ideal since there's no video output or remote control that way!!!
    Please give advice if there is any out there,
    Thanks,
    Mrghostie.

    This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
    APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

  • When will the new ipod touch 6th gen come out?

    When is the ipod touch 6th gen. suppose to come out?

    Apple has not announced any new iPod models, and until they do none of us here, who are all fellow users, will have any idea. In the past, any new models of the iPod touch were announced in the fall, but whether Apple will continue this pattern or indeed if they have plans for any future new iPod touch models at all is unknown. We'll just have to wait and see.
    Regards.

  • Why is Apple not offering AppleCare Plus on the new iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    I don't understand why Apple would offer damage protection on iPhone and iPad, but not on iPod touches? Unless Apple offers a replacement model for $149 ($99 plus $49 deductable), then I don't see the point. However, I still think it makes the purchase decision a lot easier on parents knowing that a $300 or $400 device can be protected in case of accidental damage.

    That question would be more appropriate for Apple support. All of here are only end users like yourself and can only speculate as to why it's not being offered for the 5G iPod Touch.  However, speculation of Apple products and such are prohibitied on these forums. Sorry.

  • Why wont some itunes album art load up on the NEW ipod Touch, 5th Gen?

    Having an issue where some artwork will load, while others wont onto my new 5th Gen ipod Touch. I've tried deleting and then reloading the music onto the device, but it wont reconize the artwork. Anyone else having this issue or have a viable solution?
    Many hanks in avance,

    Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

    For recording video , the 720P HD video camera at the back is amazing quality when their is enough lighting. You would be pretty amazing what a little device such as the iPod Touch can do.

  • Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

  • Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

    Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

    Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
    Thank you.
