Aiptek A-HD 720P 5MP CMOS High Definition Camcorder

I love this camera. Does great home video recording.

Pros:
* Flash based (microsd card) video recording is fast, saves space (mini dv take us space - and it's still a tape, which can jam). It also speeds up transfer from camera to computer.
* USB charging. I can use a generic mini usb charger or my computer (with USB cable) to charge the camera.
* USB 2.0 transferring (see above)
* Light
* Easy access to MicroSD card.
* Can be placed on a tripod
* HD video capture. In DVD capture quality I can get up to 3.5 hours or more on a 2gb sd card.

Cons:
* Audio recording is okay. Built in microphone leaves much to be desired. It's okay for what you need but if you are in a noisy area or you need to focus your audio recording you may need to plug in a mic. But I wasn't too bothered with it because this isn't supposed to be a professional camera.
* (this one's not so bad) Recording button is in the front of the camera so you have to get used to the placement of the button.
* Still picture capture when on using the camcorder won't accept zoom. I haven't tried to use this in point and shoot mode which might accept the zoom. While recording from camcorder mode, and you push the still capture button it'll zoom out to regular and take the picture. Picture takes a full second or two to take in camcorder mode as well. Haven't tested it in point and shoot mode though.

Overall a great product.

- The PERFECT little camera
I recently purchased the Aiptek A-HD 720P. I thought it would be a good idea to experiment with it before I wrote a review. Here are my thoughts...

I love this camera. I thought, for the money, I would get a decent camera that I could just throw in my bag and go, and get a fairly OK picture out of it. It exceeded my expectations and then some. First of all, it is really the coolest looking gadget. The perfect size to take anywhere, and fairly sturdy. I read some other reviews talking about the camera's frailty - if you're not throwing it around the room and are generally careful with it (which should be standard for any electronic gadget), you'll be fine. Also, this camera is SO easy to use. Basically, open the screen, take off the lens cap, hit record and go.

The picture quality is VERY good. In low light, it tends to be a bit grainy, but I fully expected that. In good lighting (especially anything outdoors in daylight hours) the picture is beautiful - on my PC AND on my 42" Hi-Def TV. It's hard to believe that I am getting a crystal clear Hi-Def picture out of this little inexpensive camera.

Sound quality is pretty OK. Not nearly as bad as some others have said. The mic is on top of the camera, so if you're recording and speaking, you come in loud and clear. Everyone else is medium, but audible.

I also love that this camera hooks up to my Hi-Def cable box so that I can upload TV shows on to the camera, then ultimately to my iPod. It is a fanstastic feature.

As far as uploading to my computer, I had no real issues. I had to play around with what program would play back video the best. I ultimately went with the software that came with the camera. The videos can also be converted to iTunes compatible (took a while with my PC to convert, but once it was done, it looked great).

The camera also takes very good still pictures and has a flash (FYI - the flash is only used for still pictures - does not function for video). Also, very straightforward and easy to upload pics.

All in all, 2 thumbs up for Aiptek. I highly recommend this camera to someone, like myself, who wanted a nice, easy to use, small-sized, inexpensive HD camera that can literally be taken anywhere.

- GREAT VIDEO. AUDIO QUALITY WORST EVER! DON'T BUY!
This camera has excellent quality images and video, but when it comes to audio it SUCKS!
DUring playback of a video you hear clicking noises (from using the zoom feature) and internal noises (from the camera). NOT WORTH the MoNEY. SAVE an additional 100 bucks and buy something better!!!

- Great little camcorder
I love this camcorder. We took it on a 2-week trip, and used it every day. So easy, great still pics (3, 5, or 8 mp, your choice) and very nice video. Can't comment on hd quality -- haven't hooked ip up to hd tv yet, but have downloaded video to computer to watch, and it looks pretty good. Camera is very small, fits in a pocket. Comes with battery (about 2 hrs record time) and cords for hooking up to pc (downloading content and recharging battery), watching video on tv (reg and hd, separate cords included), and regular ac charger. We picked up an extra battery (about $15) and a 4G video card (none was included w/camera) (about $20). This gave us 4 hours of recording time before recharge and download were necessary -- plenty for our needs. Super easy to use, auto adjusts to most conditions. Didn't do well at night, even on night setting, unless object you were filming was well lit againt dark background. (We tried to film some ducks swimming at night, and just got black.) Camera has a tripod fitting, but we didn't have a tripod with us, so video can be shaky if you don't hold camera still -- not too much of a problem, except when we were on a boat. All in all we were very pleased with this camera, and price is fantastic. Plan to give at least one as a Christmas gift this year. (Be careful when you use zoom, give camera time to self adjust before snapping pic, or it will be blurry.)

- Good HD camera for the money
This camera has decent video quality at 720p and pretty good snapshot quality. I have an 8GB SDHC card which holds lots of pictures and video.

The downsides to this camera are low-quality digital zoom. Picture and video quality suffers under less than ideal lighting conditions. Video audio quality is only good for recoding the camera operator due to the type and position of the microphone.

Another issue is video editing. The H.264 format is not widely supported yet but that is due to change in the near future. Editing is difficult and the format is not completely supported at a relatively low bit-rate.
