Consumer review (newegg.com)

Fail

 

Even with all these faults, I would probably keep the camera if it wasn't for that high-pitched whine playing through the video. It's terrible.

The camera is small enough to fit in a back pocket or shorts pocket. Opening the view screen turns the camera on so you are one button away from recording.

The video has a horribly high pitched whine in the playback. Every time we watch a video from this camera, we have to listen to that horrible high-pitched sound through the entire video. The buttons are in an extremely awkward position and not easy to...

Loving this camera

 

This camera really is very impressive and has met my needs well. I wanted something just to film shows and friends and it does that exceedingly well. If you do your research, you'll find this is a great camera for the money.

High quality/frame rate ; Nice look ; Intuitive operation

Always seems to be a little zoomed in ; Night mode tends to make the picture grainy

The aiptek action HD is a mediocre camcorder ”

 

I bought the camera two years ago and have been using it since. Although the camera runs in 'smooth' HD, it is nothing special. There are still tons of pixels on the screen that you can see. For the price it's not bad though. There is also a external...

So-so Camcorder

 

I like this camcorder for it's price and it's pictures are better than my Polaroid Digital camera, but you can get better. It's not very good for moving videos, such as when your walking around or in a car. I love doing pictures and videos in it's...

Over all Better than expected.

 

After some heavy web surfing, viewing of samples via YouTube clips on the web I finely took the plunge and ordered this little bugger. Now that I've had it for a while to try out I can give it a good recommendation, if you're looking for an inexpensive...
