The Ematic EM200VID MP3 Player (see Official Page or ZDNET Specs) is the latest Ematic vieo MP3 player and now comes with 4GB and also takes photos. We’re getting to a point where more and more devices are being combined into one, which makes it easier for you, the consumer. For now, though, we get products like the Ematic EM200, strange hybrid devices that do one or two things rather well. In this case, you can play music, watch videos, and take pictures with a 2 megapixel camera.
If you don’t think 4GB is enough storage, think about this – it’s enough for 60 Hours of MP3 Music, 12 hours of Video or 25,000 Pictures. That’s a lot of multimedia.
The bright, color screen is one of the highlights of this multiplayer. That and the fact it takes pictures. Like a lot of cellphone cameras, the pictures aren’t the greatest, but they’re not too bad. At 2 megapixels, you’re going to get a lot of clarity with the right lighting conditions.
Ematic EM200VID Quick Stats:
- Dimensions: 1.8″ x 0.4″ x 3.0″
- Weight:
- Screen: 2.4″ color
- Interface: USB 2.0
- Supported Files: MP3, WMA, WAV, MTV, BMP, Jpeg, and DRM Protected WMA Music files
Some other features include a built-in FM Radio (with FM Recording!), a built-In Rechargeable Li-Polymer battery and noise canceling earphones. (Although, as we mentioned a little while ago, you may want to check into getting good headphones whenever you buy a new MP3 player.)
If you have a Ematic EM200 (or have used one of the earlier eMatic models), we’d love to know what you think. Leave a comment below and let the world know what you think of this MP3 player.
There are quite a few negative reviews out there about this MP3 player, so as always, shop around before you throw money down on any MP3 player.
Until next time, don’t forget to charge your MP3 player every night.

This is the hardest little MP3 player I have ever tried to get started. It isn’t worth the trouble. The booklet is terrible and doesn’t explain anything.

Hi, I have the ematic and i had the same issue but i took a flat screw driver to the left side of the front and removed the cover, played around with it a little and it reset it and now it works, the only thing is, if i plug it into my computer it freezes all over again so i don’t know how i am going to charge it
hope it helps
