Good price for a cheap cam.
It's cheap, it does HD 1080P, and you NEED a tripod. It is very shaky. That is really the only bad thing about it because it works well for a cheapo camera. I bought this to do reviews and tutorials on my website. So far, so good.

Aiptek 1080P a great deal if u can find it for a good price
After having this camcorder for a year (the black version), I would have to give it a pretty high rating.
Here are some of the great things about it:
1) Its size is great to take pics or video on the run.
2) The personal media function is a nice bonus.
3) It has cables for both HD & non-HD tvs for easy viewing of videos & pics
4) The removable SD card (up to 32GB) is a nice feature, esp. when you have an SD slot in your computer for easy transfer of videos & pics.
5) Still pics are pretty good quality, particularly outside in good lighting settings.
6) The macro function is excellent for close ups.
7) this is truly a point & shoot camcorder--you are guaranteed to get quick pics and video on the spot (unless you need the flash).
Some down sides:
1) Both video & stills are challenging in low-light settings.
2) Don't pay $149.99 for this--look for a good price on it.
3) Sometimes the screen goes black and requires you to remove the battery.
4) There is no image stabilization, so you need to be sure not to make jerky motions (i.e. my poor wife is motion sensitive and sometimes gets nauseated by my quick, jerky videos).
5) one time I had an issue with my SD card and I lost my videos & pics.
6) the 8 meg pixs really is not that--it is best to leave your stills at 5 or even 3 meg pixs.
Overall, this is a great deal and I highly recommend it, especially if you follow the following tips:
1) Don't depend on it in night settings or where there is extremely low light.
2) You can use a program such as [...] that is free and will allow you to convert your Quicktime videos to be burned onto a DVD.
3) The macro function is also a great feature. I am a masters student and instead of making photocopies, I put my camera on the macro function, take my pics, and use my jpeg the way I would my old photocopies for research. This is quicker, cheaper, and better quality than making copies.
4) The video function is great for things like your child's soccer games (i.e. it can pick up movement great, as long as you are not running around when you take it).
5) The personal media player can drop anything on your tv to the SD drive on the camcorder. I have even run a streaming video from my computer through my tv (using my s-video cable) back to my camcorder to convert my computer video to Quicktime and also have a portable file that I can take anywhere.
6) Be sure to transfer your videos and pics periodically from your SD card to your computer--I lost my once.
7) If the screen goes black on you, or there are red streaks on the picture, don't sweat it. Just pop out the battery and put it back in, and it should work good as new.
I am tough on my technology. After a year with this camcorder, I am convinced that this is a great deal. I now use this as my primary camera and camcorder because of its portability and ease of use. If you are in to high quality, this could still be a good secondary camcorder/camera. Just look for a good price and don't settle for anything above $110.

Unreal!
The quality of the video from this inexpensive camera is amazing. Worth twice the price!

Great Little Camera
For the price, this little camcorder/camera does everything I need
from it.
Takes great videos and still photos.
But, I put in a new 4-gig SD flash memory card and it would not
accept it. The problem was, there is something inside the camcorder
that flips the switch on the left side of the memory card to "protect", so it cannot write on it.
I took a small piece of transparent tape, and by applying it from the backside of the memory card (to prevent covering up the gold connectors) and wrapped it around. It works perfectly now.
Also, another review said it did not come with a battery charger. Well, it does not. The battery charger is internal. It does come with and AC adapter that kicks in the battery charger.
You should read all of the instructions when you get it and leave it plugged in to charge for 3-4 hours before using it like the manual suggests.

You get what you pay for
We bought this because it was so inexpensive, but the quality on it is really bad. Not only is the sound and picture quality lacking, the LCD screen went out on our Paris trip (great timing) and we sent it back to get fixed. They fixed it under warranty but it took forever, so we bought a good quality Canon in the meantime. I guess my 6-yr-old will have the most expensive kids' camera on the block now. Don't buy this!
