aiptek make good or bad

Advantages: very small and compact
Disadvantages: seems a bit fragile

...I am writing an opinion about the aiptek pocket dv 11 but as this and the aiptek pocket dv are more or less the same and i could not add the specific product i thought i would do it here I have recently aquired one of the dv 11 from america and it arrived safely but i would warn anyone who gets it shipped over there is a £40.00 surcharge when it gets here for vat so whatever the price is in us dollars add $60.00 to it and this will be payable before they hand over the package The camcorder and all the software cost $149 plus $36 for shipping and $50 for the smart card which was quite cheap £153 but then you add the $60.00 as well and it cost £193 which is still a reasonable price with all that is on offer right the dv 11 this is a camcorder,digital camera,voice recorder and a webcam all in one The dv11 fits into...

Review of Aiptek Pocket DV 3100

AIPTEK Hyper-V-Cam

Advantages: Great budget camera, very good picture quality for age/price.
Disadvantages: Not manufactured anymore. See review for details of others.

...This is a webcam from the German manufacturers " AIPTEK ". Not a company I had heard of when I received this as an unwanted gift. A little history about the company from their site. http://www.aiptek.com.tw/ 1997: AIPTEK were founded in the Hsin-Chu city in Taiwan. 2000: AIPTEK created the World's 1st PenCam 2001: We introduced World's No.1 Point-&-Shot DV. 2002: We were awarded the iF Design Award for our Network Camera, ANC6000(W) 2003: We announced our first IPO. So what will it do for me? I hear you ask well, in essence this is a webcam only, and thus you will not be using it as a digital camera, but along with Windows movie maker you can capture videos with it (640 x 480 Pixels, 704 x 576 Pixels). However the supplied CD software will only allow capture of single framed pictures. PACKAGING...

Review of Aiptek - HyperVcam Fun

Aiptek Hyper Pen

Advantages: Inexpensive, small, handy, useful
Disadvantages: some people might prefer a mouse

...I recently bought a Hyper Pen by Aiptek after my usual mouse died on me. I was sent a leaflet in the mail,and got the Hyper Pen opn a special offer - £34.99 including all the handwriting software, cordless mouse and some extra bonus software. The Hyper Pen is a very useful gadget. you can use the pen as a usual mouse, or you can use it as a writing pen, where word will convert the writing to text. It does take a little while to get used to the pen as opposed to the mouse, but it's advantages far outweighs any bad points. You can set up 12 'shortcuts' on the pad (labelled F1 to F12), and when you touch them with the pen your selected program will open. For example, I have set F1 to open Word, F2 to open Excel, and so on. Another useful feature is that it has a transparent flap which you can lift up, and place a picture (or...

Review of Aiptek PocketCam 3M

The pen is mightier than the mouse.

Advantages: The most natural way to draw/edit pictures. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Very slow handwriting recognition. Cordless mouse is useless.

...The Aiptek Hyperpen 6000 is the latest addition to my fairly large PC collection. Over the months I have bought a new printer/scanner in one, digital camera, web cam, Mp3 player and now the Hyperpen. The Aiptek Hyperpen 6000 is a graphics tablet, which allows you to draw pictures in the most natural way, rather then struggling with a mouse whose wires restrict you. It comes with the actual pressure sensitive tablet itself, a cordless internet mouse, which allows full 360° movement, a cordless graphics pen and a suite of useful software. The specifications of the tablet are: 1. The active area of the graphics is 4.5? x 6?. 2. The maximum resolution is 3048 Lpi 3. It has 512 pressure levels. 4. It has 12 programmable macro keys. 5. It is a standard serial port connection. The minimum system requirements are: 1...

A Little Gem (that isn't lettuce!)

Advantages: Size, gadget status, price, Compact Flash card compatible
Disadvantages: Quality, lack of onboard memory, limited Mac suport

...The Pocket DV2 camcorder from Aiptek really is a little gem. ~~~~~~~~ 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...

My Nice Horrible Little Camera

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...

Good camera but don't forget the batteries!

Advantages: Small, compact and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Ridiculously low battery life

...I was given this mini camcorder as a christmas present this year after I had been searching for months for a decent little camera that records not only still shots but also good quality video footage. The Aiptek Pocket DV T300LE seemed to be the perfect model for me boasting many features that i had been looking for. On opening the box I was impressed with the size of the camcorder. It is small enough to fit snugly into my hand and even into the smallest of pockets. The buttons seemed to be well placed to achieve optimum ease of use. It was supplied with 2 AA batteries and an SD card so it was ready to go immediately. One of the best features of this camera I found to be that there is no fiddling around with various 'on/off' or 'mode' buttons. When you see something that you'd like to record you simply unfold the viewfinder...

Review of Aiptek Pocket DV T300 LE

A small compact camara

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 Aiptek Pocket DV2 camcorder. The positive reviews, price and the features didnt take me long in ordering one for myself. Basically the Aiptek Pocket DV2 camcorder has got four major features that include Digital Video Recording, PC Webcam, Still Photos and Voice Recording. The pocket DV2 is like a updated version from the pocket DV 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...

Review of Aiptek Pocket DV2

Hyper Pen , do you need it

Advantages: Great for drawing in art programmes
Disadvantages: Handwriting recognition is slow

...I have owned an Aiptek HyperPen6000 for about 2 months now, and bought it online for the bargain price of £24.99 (including delivery). The Hyper Pen comprises a pressure sensitive pad, a cordless pen (which functions like a mouse) and mouse to use in conjunction with the pad, and various software packages. Installation was quick and easy, and the software provided (Corel Art dabler 2.1 and pensoft) is excellent. Art dabbler has excellent tutorials that I would recomend doing as the functions are not always clear, and there is much more to be gained from the programme than first appears obvious. You can still use your keyboard and normal mouse whilst having the hyper pen also active which I find useful as the mouse provided doesnt have a scroll wheel, and the pen is difficult to use for browsing and scrolling down pages...
