Review: After reading the above reviews for this camcorder, I wasn't sure that it would be worth buying even at a very good ($119) price. Since I had an awards ceremony coming up for a family member, I thought it was worth a shot. Boy am I glad I took a chance ...

Pros: Inexpensive HD video camera. Takes good stills. Uses SD cards. HD video output.

Cons: Grainy mic. “HD” video is compressed. Manual focus. Plastic (cheap) construction. Quicktime encoding.

The Bottom Line: The camera is priced right for what it does, and how well it works. Not a terrible way to start out with HD DV.

Review: From the makers of the PENCAM! Comes a super inexpensive true HD video camera! sounds too good to be true, eh? Well, it’s not a total scam, but it’s not George Lucas cinematography either… Features The Aiptek A-HD cam is cheapo handicam that ...

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, quality video, lightweight, decent storage on 4gb card-2 hours

Cons: small battery capacity, feels like a toy, but priced like one, no optical zoom/stabilization

The Bottom Line: This is a great product for the money, comparing to $800-1200 for ANY other HD video camera.

Review: I couldn't believe it when I saw it, a high definition camera for $149. I had to see it for myself, and I am not disappointed, although I am not thrilled, either. But that is the whole point of this camera. It is the equivalent of buying a car with no ...

Pros: Small enough to fit in a pocket, clear display, USB-chargeable, and wrist strap.

Cons: Cheap plastic, no carrying case, and menu is difficult to navigate.

Review: While it is true you get what you pay for (yes, I am referring to the shoddy plastic craftsmanship), if you are looking for a small camera that takes both good stills and moderately good video to capture those special moments, this camera might be for ...

Pros: Large format video and decent still image quality.

Cons: Awkward handling. Tinny sound. Very poor battery life.

The Bottom Line: You're better off buying a digital camera with video capability, or one of the "Flip Video" devices that have less bells and whistles, but better battery life.

Review: Like many, I had a hard time grasping a "HD" camcorder for under $150 when I saw it at my local electronics store. But then, it was packaged in a blister pack, hanging on a wall display along with toy cameras as well. So, what should one expect? ...

Pros: Sharp High Definition Picture

Cons: Poor Audio, Low Battery Time.

The Bottom Line: Don't bother, wasting your time. You will not be happy with this product. Spend another $50 and get something you'll be happy with.

Review: It was very impressive video quality, if you can hold the thing still enough, but for whatever reason even the slightest movement made it look horrible. The sound was worse than bad, and the battery life was almost nil. I ended up returning it. It's ...
