Aiptek 3D i2

Aiptek beats the big names with our first taste of shooting video in 3D.

The i2 doesn't come with any recording memory built in, so you will need to add a SDHC card to the slot. Since its video requires around 7Mbits/sec in 3D mode and under 3Mbits/sec in 2D mode, an 8GB card will be enough for 2.5 hours of 3D and over six...

Aiptek 3D Camera/Camcorder

Some of the pocket camcorders can also take still images. This unit from Aiptek can take still and movies in 2D and it can also do the same in 3D. It has built in software to allow an interface on the PC, all fine in theory.

As a 2D unit there are many better around, as a 3D unit it could be a nice idea but only being able to view on the TFT screen means I cannot form a proper opinion

Recertified: AIPTEK A-HD Blue 5.0 MP CMOS 2.4" 270° Rotation LCD 2x Digital 720p HD Camcorder

Mine was purchased refurbished, it was probably returned due to the low battery warning problem.

Compact, takes OK pictures and video. It works

After charging the battery, I would receive a low battery warning after a few minutes of use. I found the problem to be a loose fit of the LI ion battery in the case. I made a small cardboard shim to push the battery up a bit to contact the gold...

Great for the $$

I have had this for 6 months and never failed me. To those who complain about the still pic quality: You obviously don't know what you are doing. I have gotten some killer stills out of it. You simply have to play with the setup and you too will get...

Quality 720p (sans any zoom) recording. 8MP still camera. Menu system is a no brainer after a minute or two of playing around with it. Lightweight. Very adjustable view screen.

I hate putting cons here because what can you expect for a great price? So: No optical zoom (understandable, it's a inexpensive camera). MOV (quicktime) output. Uhg, why could they not support mpeg1/2 or wmv or avi?

Get a digital camera instead

Buy yourself a high quality digital cam or a different video camera. This thing is a joke. I don't know why anyone gave it a rating higher then 1. They must not have an average digital cam.

none

Very poor video quality. My Cannon powershot takes better audio and video then this thing does. HD what?. Comes in a plastic package. New egg better accept a return on this piece of junk.

good little cam

neweggs great never had to return a thing......if you want a cam for around the house to catch the crazy,funny or cute stuff pets and kids do then this is the camcorder for you.

not a bad price....video quality isnt bad......its a small camcorder light....long battery life......fast charging battery.

if i could say one thing about this it would have to be......take the HD off of it....nowhere near......just because it records at HD resolution dont make it HD.....one other thing is that they should include a carry case.

Fun HD Camera

Be careful when using the cables to connect to your TV, this camera has issues with electrostatic discharge, and buildup in the cable. No problems when you aren't moving the cable around while it is plugged in, but sometimes it shuts down and I have...

This video camera is fun to use, and I am very happy with it. The HD video is not 1080p, it is 720p. Works better in outdoor lighting, but we use it indoors a lot too, and we're happy with it. Buy a SD-HC card (we got 8GB) because each hour of HD video...

Unfortunately, the zoom is digital, so HD quality is gone when zooming in. Other reviewers have mentioned the audio quality is poor, and I would have to agree. But you can't expect a cheap camera to be as good as a professional one.

HD ?

I bought this to film my kids as they play sports; tee ball, motocross, and other events. It's not the greatest camera and image stabilization would be a huge bonus, but for the price it will suffice until I can afford an $800 Hi-Def camera.

Cheap small video camera

Not really HI-Def. If you accidentally use the "Macro" slide anything past 10 feet is severely blurred. Zooming in or out will likely cause video lag.

Not really HD!

Newegg rocks!

Cheap.

Claims to be HD (High Definition). And it does indeed produce video in HD format: 1920 x 1080 resolution. But the extra pixels are a sham. With the tiny lens and image sensor, the image quality is so fuzzy that it's worse than most non-HD camcorders....
