Aiptek DV5900 Camcorder

I bought this camera in 2005 as my first small digital camcorder. It was $90 at the time (now it's only $29.99). I just needed something to record video that I could fit in my pocket. This one certainly did fit in my pocket; in fact it's smaller than...

Overall this is a perfect basic camcorder. Again, you can get it refurbished straight from Aiptek with a guarantee for just $30. For that price you simply can’t beat it. It’s great for a young kid who wants to get into video recording and doesn’t need...

Great for kids

Got two of these last christmas for my kids. Ended up paying around $50 each with discounts I had. For my kids age 8 and 14 these have been great. They love to make stop motion movies. It was well worth the money. And they've used them almost everday...
