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: This tiny small product is very beautiful!
Review: All my friends can't believe when I tell the price for this tiny small camera. But I do record my church Sundays service and able very quickly to update church website. ... I cutch up movies with pictures every week and update website during my weekend. The only inconvenient this is that this camera does not have zoom. I should seat before object to cutch up the video. Also I can't find AC Adapter power Supply. During church service (2 hours) I need to change battery two times. I have been look other cameras, but they have high price and many options I'm really don't need and for which (options) I don't need pay for. I'm really enjoy this toy!

Summary: Pretty Good Camera
Review: At first i was worried that a camera this cheap wouldn't work that great, especially after reading some of the reviews. But i think the money was Definately worth it.

I don't really trust the tripod. The Sound is really good. The picture is pretty poor, but i think its good enough.The zoom isn't that great. If you are recording things inside a house, (like a new puppy ) , you should aim the camera at a light to make the picture brighter. If you want something easy and simple to use, you should buy this camera. It's definately worth the money.

Summary: Excellent Picture Quality and Outstanding Value
Review: Convenient, practical, and provides very good quality pictures (and short videos). Don't be tempted by the cheaper versions from Logitech and others, which have poor sensor resolution (watch out for claims of 1.3 Mpixel when it is not true sensor resolution -- for VGA this is a mere 0.3 Mpixel). This cam has a 2 Mpixel sensor (and ok, they claim 3.1 Mpixel via software interpolation), which gives truly good pictures. Careful with the manual focus: it works well if you follow the directions, basically keep it always on the far setting except for extreme close-up. You do need adequate lighting, outdoors or via careful adjustment of intensity and shadows indoors. Poor light compensation is beyond the price range of this product. All-in-all an outstanding value if you want something relatively inexpensive and reliable.

Summary: great mini camcorder plus camera
Review: Everybody says wow when he or she sees how much it can offer and how tiny this is. The only down side of this one is: no build in flash.

Summary: Good For the Price
Review: First of all many people complain about the memory and the batteries first of all its your fault that you didnt get a bigger memory card in the first place! Bad memory card quality also is not aipteks problem! The batteries can be replaced with Ni-mh If needed and the camera is quite good with 3.1 megapixels playback on that small of a package is nice for the price. Now if you were planning on video taping something important than definetly wait and buy a better Sony camera that uses the mini dv tape. But this is fantastic for what I plan to use it for which is taping my friends and i snowboard so we dont need great quality or sound But want to be able to watch it on the tv which Is the simplest camera to tv I have used Yet! Have not tried the computer software but dont plan to. This is a fantastic Device for the price. I recommend for outdoor use with friends for sports that youll be close as there is no Zoom with the video recording.Four Stars ****

Summary: good for the cost
Review: For the amount of money this camera costs it really is a great buy. You get fairly nice quality stills(3megapixel 2048x1540) and reasonable quality video(640x480 10 fps) it also has 2x digital zoom. With a good 128 mb you can get 30 minutes of video and about 120 high quality pictures. The weight/size are perfect for carrying this around every where. The only complaints I have are that the up and down buttons for the zoom seem to not respond that well when zooming back out and that the plastic is not all that durable, it seems cheap.

Summary: Great Gadget
Review: I am completely satisfied with the purchase of this camera. The videos may not be top notch, but I've had a great time capturing spontaneous moments with the camera handy in my purse. The quality of the stills really surprised me though, in natural light, the images came out crisp and clear. The only fault I would find with this camera is the lack of flash, which could have been very useful in the low light situations. Therefore, I advise to those that are interested in this camera to just wait another month or so for the pocket DV4, which is already out in Europe. It is Aiptek's new camera in the pocket DV line and IT HAS A FLASH! (they finally took their customer's advice, or complaints rather).... I hope this has been helpful!

P.S.: If you're interested in learning more about the new aiptek camera or seeing some sample pics and videos for this one go to fireboxdotcom, it's a really helpful site

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.
