Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A highly versatile device that costs a fraction of most comparable units, the MachSpeed TV5 shoots photos and movies, records music and voice tracks, and plays a little bit of everything, making it incredibly handy for on-the-go users. The built-in music player supports MP3, WMA, WMV, ASV, and WAV audio formats, so you have plenty of listening options while on the move. Should you see a can't-miss photo opportunity, you can turn to the built-in 5-megapixel camera, which captures images in JPEG format. And users will love the movie recording option, which records in ASF format for easy compatibility with Windows Media applications. The TV5 even includes a built-in mic for voice recording, a line-in option for recording from external music sources, and an A/V input for recording TV programs.

Of course, recording is only half the fun: the TV5 also supports playback of several file types--including JPEG photos and ASF videos--on its 2.5-inch color LCD display. And listeners aren't restricted to using the headphones, as the device offers a built-in surround sound speaker for out-loud playback. Other details include 512 MB of built-in memory for music, video, and photo storage; an integrated SD/MMC expansion slot that supports cards as large as 2 GB; such extras as built-in games, a calendar, and a time display; and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

The TV5 measures 3.54 by 2.36 by 0.68 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Swiss Army knife recorder/player!, January 15, 2007

Got this as a Christmas gift, after having hinted to Santa that I REALLY wanted it. I'd been looking for over a year for a product such as this. I wanted a small device that will play back audio/video/pics and also RECORD them. The TV5 has an 'AV IN' socket that makes it possible to record video as .asf and audio as .mp3. It is neat to be able to plug arbitrary sources into it and record clips on a SD card. In addition to the AV input this device also has video-out, built-in camera and a mic. Lots in one little form factor!

Overall the device performs well. In adequate light, both stills and videos taken with the bult-in camera look crisp andd saturated. As for shortcomings - in low light, using the built-in cam, the image quality is rather poor (even in the highest setting) and video comes out pretty much all black. But it would be too much to expect otherwise from this inexpensive product. Another limitation (this could have been/should be redesigned) - the microphone's opening is a teeny 1.5mm hole at the bottom of the camera, right where you'd place your thumb when holding it up :( That makes the audio very, very faint.

For about $100 this is a good bargain. I expect to get a lot of use out of it.

It froze first time I use it. It kept doing this even after battery is full. Also, I had problem transfer recorded movie to TV. It is very difficult to use. It froze so frequently, that I had not tried all features it claims. I returned the product.

The specs were great but the product didn't perform well. The 5mp camera
took distorted pictures. The song list was garbled. The buttons frequently
didn't work well. It had bad reviews on the Internet so the customer had
to be prepared for a disapointment. But the return service was great. No
problem there.
