Summary: Not good enough, but....
Review: I order this camera based on its features, some reviews and doing some research on the net. After a week of exploring its capabilities i found out that its 4 in 1 features are in med level in terms of quality and here it is:1. as a Digital video(camcorder) - support only up to 10fps as a result the video is not smooth and zoom features are not available.
2. as a Digital camera - 2MP ok, the pictures are fine as long as you pay attention on the lens when taking pictures. no flash, no optical zoom only 2X digital zoom.
3. as a Voice recorder - its a fix sampling rate i don't know what it is. the quality of sound recording is low but you can save more space.
4. as a Web camera - capable only up 20 fps, just good enough for me. Bonus features: as a removable drive, nice 1.5" LCD display, small in size, can be preview on TV, 2 AA batteries, plus its accesories and software package. TAKE NOTE: use this camera only during the day or where there is sufficient light coz it has a very poor results in low light condition. Anyway, who can expect professional results on a less than $150 camera? It's still recommended for enthusiast who's fun of capturing moments. Don't forget to include at least 256MB CF card.

Summary: WOW .......BUT
Review: I got this on Thursday and it is a great camcorder/digital camera/web cam/ voice recorder,but if you don't have enough lighting, than it'll be crap. I mean if you try to make a scary movie in the dark, you can't , because than you would need alot of lighting, and if you have alot of lighting than it won't be a scary movie, DUH! And another thing, be careful when you are voice recording because the camera is very sinsitive( don't know how to spell this word) to any sound around it. The web camera is alllllll right, and so is the digital camera and the zoom. Just one more thing,make sure to buy alot of batreies if you are planning to use the LCD screen alot. To sum it all up, this is a great camera to make short home movies(I made alot of those) and what not, and to do alot of other things too, and that is why I gave this 5*'s(5 stars)! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.!

Summary: Great Digital Starter!!!
Review: If you are looking at getting into a digital camcorder this little guy will give you a good taste before spending the big bucks. It is a lot of fun to use and very easy to use. My five year old has figured it out. The video quality is good as you can get for around $100.00. I have had a blast editing and making "movies" with titles, credits ect. You can't go wrong with this camcorder for the price, but don't expect it to preplace a "big" camcorder. If you want that plane on spending 5x the $$$.

Summary: Perfect... (could use optical zoom though)
Review: This camera is by far the best camera I've ever spent around $100 on. I use it as a webcam (which can have very high quality -- 30fps at 640x480 [but it hurts harddrive space], a microphone which picks up every sound in my room very well, and an all around camcorder. The quality when it's not hooked up to your computer isn't very good, but what can you expect for something that fits in your hand and costs $100? There is nothing on the market quite like this, and I would recommend it for anyone that wants to make movies, but not professionally. I would reccomend buying a bigger compact flash card, because you don't get very many still photos (for still photos, get good lighting or a nice editing program to make it brigter... no flash) or movie with the internal memory.
Pros:
Price
Size
Overall handyness
Cons:
Little internal memory
No flash My verdict -- if you're an amateur movie maker, buy this camera.

Summary: Pretty Awesome
Review: This is the best Camera I've ever held in my hands. You have to buy it with a 128 MB Card. The picture quality is increadably great in good lighting conditions. The picture quality for the camcorder is not the best, but perfect if your not going to view it on the TV. If you looked at just the camcorder part, the Item deserves 4 stars. But since the camera is a four-in-one (really a 3 in 1 'cause the voice recorder is useless)It really deserves all five stars.

Summary: Good Bang for the Buck
Review: I'm a sucker for cost-effective gadgets, and by those standards, this nifty little 4-in-1 camera is up there with the best of them. First and foremost, you get a 3.1 megapixel digital still camera for a third of the cost of most other products in that category. If it stopped right there, this would still be an amazing deal. However, you also get a palm-sized digital video camera, a digital voice recorder, a USB webcam, and a removable USB storage device. All for $$$ . Now that's a deal I just couldn't pass up. However, approach this product with eyes wide open, and don't expect it to be the greatest performer in each of its distinct capabilities. For example, as a digital still camera it isn't very tolerant of low light situations. Adequately-lit photos come out fine, but indoor lighting or overcast outdoor shots tend to produce muddy, red-tinged tones. A built-in flash would have overcome this problem, but alas, there is none. So take your shots in well-lit areas and situations, and you'll be fine. Also, the fact that its native image format is lossy JPEG rather than a lossless format such as TIFF is of concern, but probably only to gearheads like me. Most casual digital auteurs won't really care. You can shoot and store roughly 60 digital photos at full quality (2048x1536, Fine Quality) on a 64Mb CompactFlash card (not included, purchased separately. On-board storage is 16Mb.) Next, as a digital video camera: don't expect it to fulfill all of your home movie needs. At 10 frames-per-second and 320x240 video resolution, it's hardly broadcast quality. However, I find this limited quality just right for shooting, editing, and posting quickie, low-bandwidth web movies. The camera saves movies natively in .AVI format, so usually no conversion or extra steps are required to get your movies out of camera and on the web. As a Mac user, I prefer QuickTime to .AVI, but I found that conversion to .MOV format was quick and easy. You can shoot about 20 minutes of compressed video on a 64Mb CompactFlash card (not included, purchased separately -- internal storage is 16Mb only). The length of your videos is limited only by your available storage space and supply of batteries. As a digital voice recorder, it features no Cue or Review buttons, so going back and forth over the day's notes can be a pain. The workaround is to keep your notes short; the camera creates a new audio file for each new note you record. As a webcam, it works quite as most low-end USB webcams do. No real complaints in that department. The 1.5-inch LCD screen does its job well enough. The fact that it's present at all in a product this low-end is a pleasant surprise. However, it does drain the two AA batteries rather quickly. You can sidestep this issue by using rechargeables, as I do. PROS: Small, light, handy, packs an amazing amount of features and value for an unbelievably low price. CONS: Picture quality suffers in low-light situations, no flash, digital video is web-quality only, digital voice recorder has no Cue/Review buttons. BOTTOM LINE: This nifty litttle gadget is a jack-of-all-digital trades, but master of none. However, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts -- having one device that does all these things makes it a great little toy for the big boys in your family. It won't replace your main digital still camera or digital camcorder, but it makes a great backup unit to either, in situations that don't warrant lugging around the first team. Buy it -- you know you want it.

Summary: You get what you pay for.
Review: I bought this product for its portability. I was hoping that I could use this as a substitute for both a digital camera and a camcorder. However, I was very disappointed at the quality of both. The pictures are very grainy and hardly resemble that of a 3MP camera. The videos are a bit choppy and the 320x240 view screen is much to small. If portability is all that matters, this camera will manage. However, if you are looking for both size and quality, you best look elsewhere. After all, it's only $100. You get what you pay for.

Review: This camera is soooo great! I owned the Fujifilm Finepix 3800, but found the quality of this one is even better! It can record video minimum 8 minutes depending on your memory. With voice recorder too! Overall, i am very satisfied! Highly recommend it to every nonprofessional!

Summary: GOOD FOR THE PRICE... BUT.......................
Review: THIS UNIT IS GOOD FOR THE PRICE, HOWEVER THE DV3300 (DV4) AND DV3500 (DV5) ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE IN EUROPE (DV5 ONLY IN GERMANY)AND ARE MORE ROBUST DEVICES- THE NEXT TWO GENERATIONS OF THE AIPTEK POCKETDV LINE ADD SEVERAL NEEDED FEATURES. THEY BOTH HAVE FLASH AND LIGHT FUNCTIONALITY, AND THE DV5 OFFERS RECORDING IN THE MPEG4 FORMAT. WHILE THE RECORDING FUNCTIONS ONLY OFFER 10FPS WITH 640X480 RES. THEY OFFER 10-30FPS WITH THE LOWER RES VIDEO. THEY BOTH HAVE A TRUE 2 MEGAPIXEL RES. SENSOR WITH INTERPOLATION (SOFTWARE WIZADRY THAT ADDS PIXELS BUT DOESN'T REALLY ADD QUALITY)THEY CAN OUTPUT AT 3 MEGAPIXELS. THEY BOTH ALSO OFFER BUILT IN MP3 PLAYERS, AND USE SD CARDS AS OPPOSED TO COMPACT FLASH. FOR SOME REASON THOUGH AIPTEK (GERMAN COMPANY) STILL HASN'T RELEASED THESE HERE IN THE STATES. HOWEVER YOU CAN OCCASIONALLY FIND THEM @ AUCTION SITES FOR AROUND TWO BENJAMIN FRANKLINS BUT EXPECT TO PAY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES. HOPEFULLY AIPTEK WILL SOON REALIZE THE AMERICAN MARKET CAN BOOST THIER PROFITS AND WILL START RELEASING THEIR PRODUCTS HERE FIRST. YOU CAN SEE DETAILS OF THE DV3300 (DV4) AT THE GERMAN SITE FOR AIPTEK WWW.AIPTEK.DE HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE THE DV5 ON THEIR YET AS THEY ARE JUST NOW LAUNCHING THAT PRODUCT.
