Author's Review
I bought this because I wanted all the features that it claimed to have. It did in fact have all the features that it promised, but that doesn’t earn it a 5 star…
Here’s a break down of the things it has, and what I think about each feature.
The 8 Mega Pixel camera is amazing! Definitely the best part of this camera. The resolution is excellent, and the macro lens allows you to take pictures up close for extreme detail. Has features to adjust lighting effects and to adjust the flash. It also has a flash light, but I prefer not to use it. It does take a while for the camera to take the pictures, about 2 seconds each. You also need to be quite still when taking the pictures otherwise they can blur easily, but that’s why you buy a tripod (not necessary but it helps). For some sample pictures, visit the link I provide at the bottom of my review.
The Video Camera kind of sucks. In door shooting is pretty much out of the question because if you move the camera just a little, the outcome is pretty sloppy. However, if your outdoors, it’s a little better, but still not great quality. For a sample, visit the link at the end of my review. The sound is good though, and it picks up noise from quite a distance.
As a Movie Recorder (or TV recorder), it also sucks. It allows you to hook up a VCR, Xbox, Playstation, etc. to it, but the recorded quality isn’t close to the original quality. The sound gets recorded pretty well. For a sample, visit the link at the bottom of my review.
As a sound recorder, it is very good. It can pick up noises from a good distance and its pretty good quality. Has a headphone jack too.
The Media player is awesome! Bring your movies or TV shows with you anywhere. Whether you’re riding in a car, on a plain, or waiting somewhere, you can put video files on to this and it plays them at excellent quality with great (and surprisingly loud) sound.
MP3 player is really good, and it will go into power saving mode while listening to music. The battery life when it’s in this mode is unknown, but it’s more than 4 hours.
Finally, the voice recorder is pretty good, not top notch, but good.
The overall battery life on this is about 4 hours or less. The Aiptek also has an issue with the battery sometimes. If you shake the Aiptek to much, it’ll shut off and the only way it’ll turn back on is if you take the battery out and put it back in.
It comes with cables and software for your computer. It comes with internal memory but it is very small, I suggest getting a SD memory card for this Aiptek, it supports them up to 4 GB.
