Advantages: Price, Small, Features, Expanable memory Disadvantages: Photo Quality, No Flash, battery life
...I was looking across a gadgets website and i came across this AiptekPocketDV2 camcorder. The positive reviews, price and the features didnt take me long in ordering one for myself. Basically the AiptekPocketDV2 camcorder has got four major features that include Digital Video Recording, PC Webcam, Still Photos and Voice Recording.
The pocketDV2 is like a updated version from the pocketDV with more features including a 1.4" colour LCD screen, Audio/Video Out, 1.3 Mega-Pixel resolution and Expandable Memory (using compact flash cards). I think that DV2 is better than the first one because the colour LCD screen allows you to see what you are going to capture before doing so. Also the resolution is greater which makes the pictures slightly clearer.
Also being able to expand the memory as although the camara comes with 16MB...

Advantages: Small + compact, cheap, over an hour of high quality digital video (with 512 mb CF card) Disadvantages: Doesnt focus automatically, small screen, annyoing volume that you cannot turn down!, seems fragile
...OK. When buying a Digital Camera, go for the big names like Canon, Nikon, Kodak - not some random make "aiptek"????!!!!
I bought this camera from a supermarket in America called Target. It was $99.99 which was around £55.00 at the time. It seemed ideal: video and pictures.
So i pondered and then on the last day i had the right amount of money left so i thought i might as well buy it.
And at first I was really angry - it felt cheap, the buttons felt cheap, the sound sounded cheap, i thought "oh well not a very good buy!"
But when i started fiddling with it and the menus on it and stuff (i love techy menus and stuff like that!) it grew on me. The pictures and the videos are good quality, but only if you get the focus on the camera exactly right, and if you keep it really still.
It was easy to install on the computer and within a few...

Introduction
~~~~~~~~
I have never owned, and very rarely used, a camcorder before this one, which I acquired about a month ago. But even I can see that this isn’t a standard sort of camera.
The obvious difference from a standard camcorder is size. This one fits snugly into the palm of my hand. Dimensions are a miniscule 8cm tall, 8cm deep (front to back) and only 4cm wide. Despite its mini size, it still manages to incorporate a 1.4 inch LCD screen like the one that you’d usually find on a digital camera. Plus it only weighs 123g (without batteries) – less than an orange. Well, less than the orange I just weighed, anyway. See what I do for you guys? ;o)
It’s also digital – the DV stands for digital video – so doesn’...

This is exactly "you get what you pay for" deal. Do not expect to get high quality results.
# The camera function comes nowhere close to 5 MP digital camera. Comparing to my Canon 3.2 MP digital and my 1.2 MP Nokia phone, it's most of the time better... more
