Ematic 4 GB Video MP3 Player with 2.4-Inch Screen, Built-in 5MP Digital Video Camera, FM Radio, TV Out, and Speaker (Black)

The media could not be loaded. This is a very small, portable item. It is easy to take with you wherever you go. It is extremely lightweight, almost like a feather. I carry it in my purse all the time.I got it recently and I have only used it to listen to FM radio and to take casual pictures and videos. The other features I'll try at some later time. I already have another MP3 player.The picture quality of stills is good, it does the job just fine. I was not expecting a high definition camera so I was not dissappointed. However, I was surprised at how good it is for close-up takes.As for the videos taken with the camcorder, they come out OK. Mine has a small occasional skip, but no big deal since I use it only for casual videotaping.I like the "TV Out" feature where you can connect the player to a television and share your pictures and videos on a larger screen. It comes with the cables for this purpose (the red, yellow and white trio).If you wish to watch the videos taken with its camcorder on your PC, you first have to convert them from the AVI format they come in to the Windows format you'll need.I am sharing on the front page of this product some pictures and posting here a video. I took them all with this device. The viewers can come to their own conclusions.This digital camera/digital camcorder/FM Radio/Media Player, like all electronics, is very delicate and it should be handled with care. Even the sturdier looking electronics break easily if not handled properly. This one does not give the false impression of being strong, like others do.Don't expect a quiet browsing of menus. This is not a touch-screen media player. It has buttons that make a noticeable "click" sound when pressed. However, I found the menus simple and easy to use once you figure out how to move around.

This is Amy's husband Alan writing this (and I have really written MOST of these reviews, to be honest) and this eMatic MP3/MP4 gadget is the bee's knees. It can do everything my cheap little prepaid Net10 phone can't do. It plays music, displays pictures, plays videos, records music straight from the FM radio, is expandable with microSD cards I already have from a Rumor 2 I used to own, records videos, takes 5MP pictures (they are fuzzy though), and file transfers are a snap with my computer.Here are some helpful hints:1) Use the silicone case or you'll get fingerprints all over the thing.2) Use the supplied cleaning cloth to keep the screen and the camera lens clean.3) Do not exceed 3GB of the 3.5GB storage capacity or the player will freeze up when you switch between apps. (camera, video, etc)4) If you want to listen to music in your car, buy a Griffin iTrip Universal here on Amazon (about $8 shipped) and it will charge while playing unlike most other brands of MP3 players, including Apple iPods and iPod knockoffs. (like the $15.50 one I had from eBay recently that my kids stepped on and broke)5) Be careful of the MIC port on the bottom side by the microSD slot, if you cover it with your thumb, it doesn't record much.Caveats, as this is not a perfect player, there are some small issues:a) This one I received has a small blemish on the camera lens, but you don't see it in photos. So it's a non-issue to me.b) When charging, the player does get much warmer than usual, so don't let it charge overnight. 4 hours at first, 2 hours thereafter.c) The internal speaker will not work with the FM radio, it insists you plug in headphones.d) The internal speaker has the quality of a five-year-old off-brand digital camera. Useless unless you press it up to your ear.e) It is confusing at first to learn how to navigate through the apps and the menus, but don't give up, just read the manual.I would absolutely spend $40 all over again for this unit. Can't say enough how much I enjoy having it with me. Can't say enough how I'm glad I don't have to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a cell phone that has these features. It's small enough to carry in a shirt pocket along with my cheap little $30 prepaid cell phone. This player has more features for $40 than some players that cost twice as much. No sense buying a $150 iPod when this does the same job for so much less!
