With iPhone 5 and iPad 3 stealing the show, why not let iPod Nano 7G gain some attention too! It seems Apple is trying its best to revive the good old days of iPod by upgrading its latest (to-be released) iPod Nano model.

Apple.pro  has uploaded few images that confirm image capturing capabilities of the next generation iPod. iPod Nano 7G is assumed to come packed with 1.3 megapixel video enabled camera located at device’s rear side (similar to the one featured on iPod Touch). The clip on iPod’s back panel contains a hole to provide space for camera’s lens view. Apple may also be testing a 2 megapixel camera, latest rumor has it! Size and weight of iPod Nano 7G would probably be same as the 6th generation iPod Nano.

According to M.I.C gadget , prototype flaunted in the images is two months old and has serious issues related to it. It has an auto iris lens that can be easily affected by diffraction, hence blurring the captured image. This means it takes overexposed photographs. M.I.C Gadget’s sources say that Apple is having lens aperture-related issues that are not allowing the gadget to take advantages of lens’s low aperture. Apple is trying to correct this problem and in lieu of that, tested a 2 megapixel camera too. However the results were unsatisfactory as captured images looked totally washed out and flat.

If you remember, Apple in 2009 filed a patent that pointed towards Apple’s interest in bringing a camera to next gen iPod Nano. Well, here it is! An iPod Nano loaded with a camera!

However, model featured in above images is not ready for production yet, but is being assumed to be close to the final product. Latest rumors point towards First quarter end or early second quarter release of iPod Nano 7G.
