 You get what you pay for June 8, 2009
We bought this because it was so inexpensive, but the quality on it is really bad. Not only is the sound and picture quality lacking, the LCD screen went out on our Paris trip (great timing) and we sent it back to get fixed. They fixed it under warranty but it took forever, so we bought a good quality Canon in the meantime. I guess my 6-yr-old will have the most expensive kids' camera on the block now. Don't buy this!
 Wasn't expecting much when I purchased it but was pleasantly surprised! May 24, 2009
I wasn't expecting much when I purchased Aiptek A-HD+ 1080P but I was pleasantly surprised. I was trying to create a cheap way to produce youtube videos. I had a fairly new MiniDV Camera however it didn't have the resolution to make the green screen work out as I had hope. Purchased the Aiptek and it worked like a charm.
My only complaint is with the LCD screen's button are kind of hard to press and when you are watching the live video stream on my HD TV it jumps from full screen to letterbox when I press record. Aside from that I give it a 5+. After all, we're talking about a $150 camera - not the professional cameras i'm used to working with!
 What's to say that hasn't been said April 21, 2009
Not much to add to all the good reviews for this camera. One thing though, watch that macro switch. I accidently bumpped it to macro and shot 20 mins of video. You can't tell on the screen that it is out of focus. Got home and found the entire video out of focus. Live and learn. Great camera for the money. Cheap enough to feel safe strapping it to an RC plane.
Great Little Camera April 8, 2009
I bought this Camera in July last year , not expecting a lot from it, just to shoot small Videos an some Point an Shoot Pictures.
was Wrong , it is a super Camera , on both Video an Pictures alike !
I have a Sony Hi 8 Camcorder that hasent been out off its case since I got the APITEK!
It,s super easy to use , records to a SD Card , which can be easily transferred to the PC , to edit etc .
For "Normal" Family use , I could not be Happier with it ,
In short Great Camera , Great Price , No Brainer , Just get one :-)
Excellent picture, poor zoom March 25, 2009
Our standard def Sony camcorder finally died. My daughters karate belt test was coming up and we wanted *something* to record the event, but didn't want to dish out $800 for a Sony HD camcorder. With a little hesitation I shelled out for this Aiptek HD and I have to say that for the money I'm very happy.
- VIDEO QUALITY
Simply awesome! I don't have a high end name brand HD camera to compare to, but on my 50 inch plasma TV the video quality looks absolutely great. The only problem I have noticed, as some other reviewers have noticed is low light can make the video grainy, even in high def modes. For under $150 I can live with it; most of the things I want to shoot are not low light anyway
- ZOOM
I specifically did not pay the extra $60 to get the Aiptek model with the optical zoom, but I'm sorry I didn't now. The digital zoom on this model is not smooth, it jumps as you zoom in and out. On top of that, digital zoom is lossy (the quality of the video gets worse as you zoom in). Paying a third more just to get an optical zoom sounded a little extreme at the time, but the digital zoom is the only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars.
- STILL PHOTOS
If you hold the camera very still during still captures, the quality is quite good. What I have noticed is that with this small of a camera its sometimes hard to hold the camera steady to get a clear shot. I found that I got better with practice and I rarely get a blurry shot now, unless I'm trying to capture my running kids or the dog.
- USER INTERFACE
The on-camera menus are simple and easy to navigate. Written documentation might be a little light for novice camera users, but was adequate.
- COMPUTER EXPERIENCE
Copying the videos and stills is very easy; plugging in via USB cable it shows up in Windows Explorer as a flash drive and you can drag and drop files from the camera memory to the hard drive. I did find that Apple's Quicktime had problems playing back the video recorded in full HD, the frames were noticebly less than 30 fps so it looked a bit jerky. It very well could be my computer, since playback from the camera itself is flawless. Also, I found a great freeware video editing program that can convert from the .mov format the camera records in to just about any other format you want. It's called 'Any Video Converter' and can be found here:

- BOTTOM LINE
I still would like to buy a Sony HD camcorder someday but I am more than content with this great camera until the price of those other models come down.
