I bought a new digital camera about a month ago, and takes good video. The bummer is that I have to use the camera to play them back away from home. Mostly videos of my new puppy (8 months and over 60 lbs).
I looked at the Ipod Nano, as the camera stores in Quicktime (.MOV), but $150 for the 4 Gig version, almost what I paid for the camera, which has a much larger screen. A little pricey, and not really what I was hoping to find.
I'd be thrilled to find something about the size of a pack of cigarettes, SDHC card slot, 3 inch screen, and intended for viewing pictures and video clips. I can convert the pictures and movies to most any size/format. I'd be more willing to spend the $150 on something I could pull the card out of my camera and plug into, then a gadget I wouldn't use 80% of the features, and spend an hour transfering files over USB.
Has anyone seen such a video player, or something better suited then the Ipod type players? So far that is all I was finding while searching, basically MP3 players that do video. I'm not too concerned if its a child's toy, something I have to modify, maybe build (doubt I have the tools or skills for SMD, which is likely needed).
I do have a portable DVD player for in a car (no battery of it's own), but no DVD burner. Mostly my video clips are under 10 minutes, so kind of a waste to get a writer.
Any suggestions on what to look for when searching, kind of tired of finding MP3 players...
