@@Gle-lv2fm ahh thats makes sense why didn't know not read or watched a verge video/article in a long time gave up with them and vice. well best of luck to her then people have clearly followed her over.
That comment in the video made me think of the pro video features of the S line phones from samsung. There is a smooth zoom option that feels and looks a lot like the old camcorder zooms imo
Love seeing iPods still getting attention! They really are timeless when it comes to portable music. Pairing them with the right accessories can really elevate the sound experience-makes me appreciate these devices even more!
As someone who worked on this iPod for almost a year to help get it manufactured, this video brought back all the feels. I'm very proud to have contributed to a small part of bringing this iPod to life. Thank you for appreciating this product!
Hello Mr., could you elaborate on what exactly you have been doing and what you are doing at this point in time. It's always interesting to hear someone's story
so refreshing to see someone with a deep appreciation & understanding of bleeding edge tech also appreciate lossy/retro-ish tech of consumer electronics of the past, your videos are always a nice watch Becca!
Best quote -- "It’s the imperfect look of older cameras that give a feeling of a simpler time” - that's fantastic. It made me think.... I'd LOVE it if you created a video on how to shoot photographs and videos on the new iPhone 16 Pro and avoid the over-processing/flat look. The new styles make it actually possible to bring back actual dark shadows, etc., which is the most under-discussed feature of these new phones. It also would be good to talk about the pros and cons of various modes. For example HEIF max vs RAW max vs normal, etc. I'd love to see a grid and hear a discussion of what each is optimized for. For example, shooting RAW eliminates the option to use live photo and styles, but there are definitely times I want to shoot raw with the intent of post-processing in Lightroom, but lately, I find myself shooting more often in HEIF or HEIF max and using the built-in adjustments and styles to make it look like an actual photograph. Out of all of the youtube creators I follow, I think you'd be the best at covering these topics in an approachable way. My 2 cents! - Thank you!
Becca pls don’t ever stop making videos I love the way u express yourself and I love your content I love everything

I have one of these...RED that I bought when I went to NYC as soon as I got divorced. Recorded a bunch of movies with my 3 yearsold, and then lost it. I thought it had been stolen. 15 years later, whilst packing stuff at my parent's house I had to push my bedsidetable away (pretty square thing) and when I picked it up (instead of just moving it around to clean ;) )... there it was. Battery is dead. but the movies were all there... :D my kid, now 19 remembered it and loved to see the movies she did with a unicorn and other kids toys. :D. I will cherish this device for ever.
Wonderful video. I recently moved to using an iPod Classic for all my music needs, and really love it. Just waiting on my replacement battery to arrive.
.... visits eBay to check out iPod nanos, and is amazed at how much the design changed between generations, that's actually exciting, dug out my old iPod mini first gen and shuffle recently, still look and feel great
One of my favourite things about shooting on a camcorder is that what it means to be filmed on one is very distinct from cameraphone recordings. I think all of us associate being filmed on a phone with a performative action. People are shooting for max 30 seconds and you will almost certainly be on someone's instagram story within another 30 seconds of the stop button being pressed. It makes people feel self conscious and like they have to project a certain image that is compatible with being permanently online. When you record something on a camcorder, you are usually going to record people much more naturally and the footage isn't likely to end up online for days or weeks, if ever. I recently looked through some footage from 4-5 years ago I took backstage at a video shoot in my sony handicam and it's just a few of us shooting the shit and messing around very naturally for 10 minutes. It's so authentic and I've never seen a phone video that has made me feel the same way. This has made me want to dig my 5th gen nano out of my mum's attic!
We also recently moved to the middle of no where with no cell reception and it definitely gives you a different perspective. Loving these videos - I miss iPods!
I restored my iPod classic recently, replacing the screen, the back, the hard-drive to a ssd (almost everything) and I love the feeling of reliving these moments... Cheers from Brazil! Love your channel 🙂🤙
My first personally owned camera as a kid was this iPod, so many home videos made, so many great memories. My dad got me it as he knew I liked listening to music and would always steal his camcorder to make videos. A beautifully flawed camera and device that singlehandedly kickstarted my passion for music and video creation, somehow mine is still going despite dropping it a million times!
got emotional & nostalgic watching this video the look of old handcam & ipod nano footage spraks so much memories from the early 2000s. Like you said Becca there is so much character to those clips. Thank you so much for curating this amazing video :)
MY GOD, I bought one of these for my wife in our senior year in highschool. We used this camera SO much. We still have it. Time to bust it out. I'm literally going to film a video on it for my channel. Thanks for the inspo Becca
Please continue to make more videos like this. I’m not sure how well they’ll perform, but I love them way more than any smartphone review, and they showcase your personality super well
Becca PLEASE KEEP SHARING like this. I'm in the same situation--two years ago I moved from Los Angeles to a rural area near my mom, and I'm enjoying my creativity even more. I happened upon your camera reviews at your *last job* ;-) and so glad your stories continue here. This is from a middle aged white southern guy--you're inspiring to a lot of people. Thank you.
Yeah, those videos look great. I love how it's got that projector lens-like quality where it's much sharper in the center and falls off quickly once you get like, halfway to the edge. Super cozy footage.
I’ve seen many new camera reviews, fewer old camera reviews, but this particular review felt innovative. Nice job! More of whatever lead you to this idea, please 😊
Wow, this brings back memories of middle school! Thank you for also opening up about moving to a quieter place and I'm glad that you feel more at peace now. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you, Becca, for getting me to turn on back my classic iPod Touch 5th generation to use as my camcorder and digital camera after watching this! I can't wait to make some memories on it 🙌🏻
I feel like the second ive watched this I could instantly tell that you seem to be much happier now that you're independent and moved out of NYC. I love that ☺ Im so happy for you and I cant wait for your next video !
It was today I learned they ever put a camera in an iPod..and I owned three of them over the years before very recently going phone only..loving the videos Becca, you were always my favourite part of The Verge and I’m glad you revived this channel so we can still see you
I've recently bought some old iPods and I absolutely fell in love with 3rd gen nano. It's amazingly tiny compared to modern tech, yet it does everything I need. There should be a company dedicated to making this kind of micro devices that allow you to disconnect yet carry your music/photos around.
This is amazing! I daily drive an iPod 5th generation for music and podcasts to be more intentional after I ditched my smart phone. Thank you for this!
100k gain done. Congrats everyone, we did it thx Becca like seriously to bring your perspective and your life to your way. For me, im much an ipod touch person cause i grew up with it but the nano is refreshing and surprising. It made me think that people want a camera to give an intimate feeling of a moment or for me, to have a control without thinking about it. I agree with city life can get hectic, so getting in middle of nowhere was a best decision and for me its permanent cause im hate city life. Just
thank you for the wonderful "retro" device showcase. I also like the idea of something small and pocket friendly to have as a moment catcher. thanks for sharing!
Alright you've talked me into and then out of buying an iPod Nano but you didn't talk me out of moving to the middle of no where. I've been thinking really hard about getting a small film camera because I want some less pristine images. I want some character in my photos. I don't need every photo to be "perfect". This also makes me miss the days when Apple put out exciting weird products.
your videos give me Neistat vibes-you're good at what you do =), love to see you thriving in your new space & channel. love this video/topic & its relevance on life/how we interact/use tech
Love this. Especially because I found my broken iPod Classic 4th gen the other day and I’ve decided to fix it and get it going again. Actually excited to whip it out on the train in front of people haha
Yes! I love interesting uses for older tech. Would love to see more videos in this series Becca. Also, wooow you live in a beautiful area. Great choice!
First, huge enormous blast of nerd affection to Jim Terry’s iPad, what a vibrant deep blue case! Second, please bring on more old tech and more nerding out in it while talking about life choices. Three, I would love for your Patreon to have workshops on how to be as awesome at seeing things as Becca Farscape does 😊
This is deeply nostalgic. I had the original iPod nano and they were truly remarkable back then. We've also been getting back into our old camcorders. Great storytelling.
I have the entire iPod Nano line that I've collected at various thrift stores in the 2010s. A few have the dark spots, battery starting to bulge issue. I don't use them anymore, and don't feel like replacing the batteries, so they are like nice coffee table pieces to look at and then put back in a box.
What you say at 4:06 about modern cameras is one of the reasons I picked up film photography last year. I'd never owned a camera, but I made a Pentax K1000 my first and I love it.
Literally sat digitising tapes from my camcorder when this popped up. Great video, cant beat the look and never new this version of the iPod existed! So cool.
So happy for you to make the move out of NYC. Find what makes you happy! I frequently have dreams where I'm using an old feature phone, so you using an iPod Nano for this felt familiar.
been meaning to invest in an ipod to relive the time when it was popular as I couldn't afford to get one back then. such a timely video, might expand my search for even the nano ones too. :)
I took a roadtrip in the US for a month, filiming on a Kodak Playsport back in 2011. It was such a blast, Yeah the footage was a bit iffy, better than the Ipod Nano for sure, and that thing just slid right into the pocket and was just pure joy to use. Back in the 90s I had taken a Sony Video 8 camera on a similar West Coast trip. Again, great fun and great memories but it was a big lump of a camera in comparison. Retro tech is cool, especially when you were a consumer first go around! Great content and storytelling here, love it.
s/o to Jim Terry! If you're out there, thank you for taking such great care of you 5th gen nano and passing along your rich Celtic Woman collection.
I love that you've kept his music and other media as a time capsule!
I thought I was supposed to know who Jim Terry was, like he's some internet tech celebrity or something!
Insta360 ace pro 2 coming in October (rumored). Would love if u compared it to the dji action pro 5. ❤ ur content on the verge so much
@@VirtousStoic 👀👀
@@VirtousStoicits out now!! Must watch!
I am so happy that you went independent. This is exactly what we wanna watch.
Agreed, I hope she soars high and gets to do what she wants
what company/group did she leave this is the first video i ever watched of hers
i have no clue who she is "she made an ipod video" and youtube went ohhh you like ipod videos here you go!
@@BaileyMagikz she was with The Verge
Absolutely!
@@Gle-lv2fm ahh thats makes sense why didn't know not read or watched a verge video/article in a long time gave up with them and vice. well best of luck to her then people have clearly followed her over.
Congratulations on achieving 100000 subscribers! 👏🙌
Well deserved!
Your videos are engaging because you are interesting. Dont forget that!
You touched on something that has been neglected by every modern camera manufacturer: smooth optical zoom
That comment in the video made me think of the pro video features of the S line phones from samsung. There is a smooth zoom option that feels and looks a lot like the old camcorder zooms imo
I think you mean phone manufacture, cause Sony, Panasonic & a few others do offer smooth optical zooming lenses.
@@Alex_564 far from the ideal or ergonomic as handicams. There are also no full frame options available
Handy cams weren't full frame either
No they still exist just not on a consumer level
Love seeing iPods still getting attention! They really are timeless when it comes to portable music. Pairing them with the right accessories can really elevate the sound experience-makes me appreciate these devices even more!
As someone who worked on this iPod for almost a year to help get it manufactured, this video brought back all the feels. I'm very proud to have contributed to a small part of bringing this iPod to life. Thank you for appreciating this product!
Hello Mr., could you elaborate on what exactly you have been doing and what you are doing at this point in time. It's always interesting to hear someone's story
I just love a "tech review" youtuber, having a serious conversation and genuinely loving something more than a decade old. Brilliant.
so refreshing to see someone with a deep appreciation & understanding of bleeding edge tech also appreciate lossy/retro-ish tech of consumer electronics of the past, your videos are always a nice watch Becca!
You are so goddamn good at this. How the hell did a video about an iPod video camera get me emotional? You are such an expert storyteller.
This. I was like: let me check few seconds of this video... and then I watched it whole, lol.
Best quote -- "It’s the imperfect look of older cameras that give a feeling of a simpler time” - that's fantastic. It made me think....

I‘d love to learn about that, too!
Would be an awesome video
I bought one exactly for this reason 15 years ago, when moved to London. Best thing ever. Still cherish those videos :D
Freaking rad. I JUMPED on the iPod Touch 4 to replace my miniDV camcorder back in the day - but definitely missed the zooms, too!
Becca pls don’t ever stop making videos
I love the way u express yourself and I love your content
I love everything

The way that you discuss tech is so humanistic and relatable. So awesome.
I got mine working again yesterday and I’m loving it
The narration and editing are really excellent, great work!
Loving the old tech and loving the videos and channel.
I had one of these in my high school, spend my entire lunar new year red pack money for that, gives a lot of great memories.
Wonderful video. I recently moved to using an iPod Classic for all my music needs, and really love it. Just waiting on my replacement battery to arrive.

I have very fond memories with my yellow iPod Nano, it was so reliable for this! It got stolen many years back unfortunately and I still miss it...

Beautiful watching this. It's like a time capsule. Thank you, Becca and Jim Terry!

I love your camera reviews, you yourself are just such a vibe Becca, with you in your own channel, I have everything I could have wanted.
I also wanted that exact iPod when it launched! I liked the idea of having a media player with a camera that I can carry all day! that was my dream!
This kind of super niche and unique video seems to be tottaly up your alley!
Keep ehm coming 😁👍
MY GOD, I bought one of these for my wife in our senior year in highschool. We used this camera SO much. We still have it. Time to bust it out. I'm literally going to film a video on it for my channel. Thanks for the inspo Becca
I hope some of the old videos are still on it! iPods make for amazing time capsules.
Please continue to make more videos like this. I’m not sure how well they’ll perform, but I love them way more than any smartphone review, and they showcase your personality super well

Love ya Becca! so glad your ding your own thing!!! Existed for what's to come!🥰
Very few creators mix emotionality and technology as transmitted in this video. don't stop Becca!!
I'm so glad you're doing this, I really missed the mini-vlog series you did a bit back.
This was a lot of fun to watch Becca 😊
I love everything about this channel. Go, Becca!
Watched this went digging and found mu old one. No camera and dead as dead can be. Great work, love your stuff

Loved this! The last iPod touch is my jam. Small, slim, light 💕

100k + one more now. So good to see someone who just doesn’t shout all the time on TH-cam.

I have the entire iPod Nano line that I've collected at various thrift stores in the 2010s. A few have the dark spots, battery starting to bulge issue. I don't use them anymore, and don't feel like replacing the batteries, so they are like nice coffee table pieces to look at and then put back in a box.
so happy to follow your journey here becca! great fun video!!!
And again, she delivers an amazing video! Baby Becca made me “AWWWWWWWWW”!
What you say at 4:06 about modern cameras is one of the reasons I picked up film photography last year. I'd never owned a camera, but I made a Pentax K1000 my first and I love it.
I have the exact same nano 5th gen, great MP4 player, camera is just a cherry on top 👍
Literally sat digitising tapes from my camcorder when this popped up. Great video, cant beat the look and never new this version of the iPod existed! So cool.
So happy for you to make the move out of NYC. Find what makes you happy! I frequently have dreams where I'm using an old feature phone, so you using an iPod Nano for this felt familiar.
been meaning to invest in an ipod to relive the time when it was popular as I couldn't afford to get one back then. such a timely video, might expand my search for even the nano ones too. :)
Super cool, would love to hear more about your favorite camcorders and other retro tech!
I don't know what or why, but i love everything you bring to us.
I love miniDV camcorders. They came in so many shapes and sizes!
Oooh this is such a cool channel, keep the good work becca... You rock !!!
I took a roadtrip in the US for a month, filiming on a Kodak Playsport back in 2011. It was such a blast, Yeah the footage was a bit iffy, better than the Ipod Nano for sure, and that thing just slid right into the pocket and was just pure joy to use. Back in the 90s I had taken a Sony Video 8 camera on a similar West Coast trip. Again, great fun and great memories but it was a big lump of a camera in comparison. Retro tech is cool, especially when you were a consumer first go around! Great content and storytelling here, love it.
I love your channel, because it brings spotlight, into things i wouldn't have discovered myself
great video Rebecca
I Loved that Promo Video when it was introduced and especially the Music.
BECCA REVISITING OLD TECH YES PLEASEE!!!
