 Broke after only 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!! September 17, 2009
Mom of 6 good kids
I only used about ten minuets of this camcorder and POOF it's toast. The zoom won't work and the screen is so dark I can't see anything; yes I tried different setting but it's not the settings it's the piece of [...] camera! [...]. Now I can't return it because this seller's policy is 14 days. BEWARE!!!!!!!!

For the price this product performs more than I expected out of it. I never heard about this brand and I was relying on the other reviews for selecting this one. Such product should get good promotion. Good work from the engineers from aiptek. The design is simple and very effective to the point.
Good one for the price September 23, 2008

i have had this camera for about 3 weeks now and just love the convenience of carrying one device for both video and still pictures. its also lighter and smaller than my other devices. its very easy to use. picture quality is good in daylight or well lit area. it gets grainy in the dark and does not look great especially when viewed on an HD TV. audio is ok, zoom is basic. i usually just walk closer to my subject instead of zooming as i get better audio capture. still pictures are great and the flash works fine. battery life is good and i love the fact that i can charge it with a USB cable or one of many usb chargers i have for the cell phones.
overall it is a good buy for the price.
awesome! September 17, 2008

i love this thing. the video looks great when filmed outside with a steady hand. i don't use the zoom because digital zoom always looks like crap in my opinion. for the price the video quality is freaking amazing but the mic leaves a lot to be desired. boy what i wouldn't give to have one of these when i was in high school or travelling the world in the navy. the h.264 is a great format btw which is easy to edit in premiere elements but you must have a fast computer. i wish i could buy a $600 version of this type of camera for the extra build quality that price would offer. bottom line, this camera is great for quick shots and the video looks nice on an hdtv.
 Great Video but Noisey ZOOM! August 28, 2008
Christy's Bunch (South Carolina)
I purchased one of these when they first came out in May. I loved the video! Much better than my Canon TX1 or my Sanyo CG6! The sound was ok. There was no noise from the auto focus/zoom motor.It was a very early production model. It kept locking though so I had t return it.
I then purchased another one thru amazon and noticed right away the there was a horible noise coming from the auto focus/zoom motor everytime it had to refocus or if you zoomed. You could feel it in your hand and during playback you hear a very-very noticable ratceting/clicking type noise. It just totally ruins the important moments I captured. I sent it back to amazon.
They sent me another replacement and I could not believe it but it was even worse! I have sent it back to and still waiting for a refund.
Amazon says that the problem must be more widespread than they had originally thought!
Well I have not totally given up on Aiptek. They have just come out with a new model called the Aiptek A-HD. It does not have a mechanical zoom so it cannot make noise. The price is also less at 169.00!!
UPDATE: The new Aiptek Action camera does not have the zoom motor noises but overall is still the same camera.
I just bought a new Kodak V1253 that blows every other camera I have purchased away in all areas except the Sanyo HD1000 has slightly better video but that's it so I am now using a very inexpensive Kodak V12530 over my 800.00 Sanyo HD1000
