Aiptek HD 720p Video Camera - Review
So I've seen these Aiptek HD 720p Video Cameras around and they've had it at my local Target for $149 (it's only $135 at Amazon), I figured if it was awful I could return it for their 15% restocking fee. Actually, I'm now thinking it's my new camera to keep in my bag at all times.
It's a
Quality is great but if you move the camera too quick it could compress a little better. But for the price it's awesome and it's better than I would have expected.
It's got a record button on the front (where your trigger finger goes) and a record button on the LCD screen. On the back is a button for taking a snapshot at any time (other than when actually recording).
Other features: It's got a standard tripod mount and comes with a charger (but also charges off the included USB cable), lens cap, carry strap, standard video cables and component cables. It's smart enough when you flip the LCD screen to flip the video image for self recording.
Complaints: it sure could use image stabilization and audio-in for a microphone would be nice but I wouldn't expect anything like that in a lower end product like this.
Other things: I've only played with it a little bit but the imaging looks a little better when moving the camera quickly in the lower quality modes (720x480 and 352x240). It looks like it has an IR receiver in the front (where your hand would be) but I don't know if that's what it is.
