This multipurpose camera is really a great design.

Aiptek A-HD 720P 5MP CMOS High Definition Camcorder Latest 2009 Review

I already had a high-end Sony HD camcorder. However, I felt really uncomfortable, if my children played around with it. Besides, I could get hold of all the functions of the camera. I saw my friend using one of these Aiptek cameras. I got myself one too, as I found it pretty easy to use. And it was pretty affordable. I’ve been using the Aiptek A-HD 720P 5MP CMOS HD Camcorder for almost two months. The interface is so easy and simplified. It’s very light and compact too. What I found most useful was that I don’t need to carry any tape or DVD. I just put in an 8 GB memory card and record for over 4 hours.

Sure the picture quality isn’t as good as any expensive camcorder, but for its price and range, it gives brilliant results. The pictures are sharp and the colors are very refined. And I don’t need any software to upload or transfer my videos and pictures to my laptop.

The zoom is nothing I can boast about. However, I’m happy about being able to watch the videos shot by it on my iPhone, as it uses the H.264 movie format, which is compatible with both iPod and iPhone. I can say that it surely met my expectations from an inexpensive and simple camcorder.
