Summary: Great little gadget
Review: If you're a gadget person, you'll love this. If you're looking to film the next "Titanic", don't buy it. It's great fun, easy to use but it is not an $800 camcorder. I suggest rechargeable batteries though, it goes through the regular pretty quick -- especially if you play with it as much as I do. The video can be dark indoors so turn on the lights!!

Summary: Don't Leave Home Without it!
Review: The DV4500 is hands down the best money I have ever spent! It has been trouble free and easy to use. Recording video and taking pictures is a one touch operation, and I love being able to take my MP3's with me without a separate player. Using it on Windows XP is also as simple. I can even transfer the pics and video to my Mac. I read the review from the Guest in Norfolk. I beg to differ. Aiptek does not need to USB 1.1 Drivers on XP! Windows provides the drivers. You only need drivers for the webcam mode to work. Check out http://www.aiptek.com/support/dv4-faq.htm for some help if you need it. Thanks for another sensational gadget Aiptek!!

Summary: This camera ROCKS
Review: This is a GREAT camera if you're not too good with photography. With the whole package you sure get a lot. A mini Tripod, camera, cable to hook up to Audio/Video ports in TV, USB cable, strap, carrying bag, batteries, head phones. The only downside is that it has 16MB of internal Memory. So I just got a SD 512MB card from Amazon for 50 bucks. So I have about 80 MP3S on it and a whole ton of videos, and pictures. Also I would suggest getting some good AA rechargeable batteries, because this thing kills batteries fast. I got a set of 4 AA rechargeable [so when a pair of 2 die, charge them, and in the mean time use the others] and a charger. This is a good camera, 4 mega pixels. But if you're indoors you can't see good in the video. So I would have to suggest taking videos outside. All-in-all this is a good start up camera for possiby young teenagers.

Summary: Nothing Great
Review: This is just a toy. None of the features really excell in any way but they do the basics. The camera's ok, but the flash runs the batteries down pretty quickly. The video camera was ok too. The mp3 player alphabetizes the songs if youl load them in a group and there's no way to sort through them without going through the whole list to find the one you want. The body feels a little cheap and the flap covering the head phone jack is a bit cumbersome. On the up side the menus are pretty intuitive and it's easy to use and the software's OK. I returned mine after about three days and I got the SV-AV25 by Panasonic. I recomend the SV-AV25, and you can get a good deal on one if you check e-bay.
