This is a good starting digital video camera. It is certainly worth the price for the quality you get. Great if you are a teenager like me who isn't overly concerned with the high quality shots. Not recommended for use by Speilberg, but if you want to capture the moments that matter for an insignificant sum, this is the camera for you.

I bought the Aiptek MPVR 6MP MPEG4 Digital Camcorder with 4x Digital Zoom as a gift for a friend that is into computers and electronics. First i have to say that i got the package in perfect condition which made me feel better cause it was my first online shopping in amazon.com, i got it within a week i made my order which was faster than other websites. Well, my friend was surprised to see what such a small item can do. He's been sending me pictures and videos and he says he's already downloaded some songs. The picture quality is really good as well as the video. The Aiptek is easy to use and he can take it everywhere which is the best part. I know it's probably not the best camcorder ever made but with also a camera and mp3 player mode for such a reasonable price what else can i ask for. I wouldn't recomend this for a professional but for those who go on vacations or small trips and want an mp3 for the way back and forth their destination and also to capture all the wonders they see either with a pic or with a "home made" video.

If you expect to have hd quality for the price, move along. But if your looking for a camera that wont make you poor for a while then you've found it and your getting a great deal. The quality in the camera is very good,and the mic picks up sound. They dont include a lens cap which is stupid so you might have to shell out for one of those if you want to make sure the lens doesnt scratch. An ac adapter also isnt included which is another downer. Also, get a memory card! Kingston makes pretty good ones. So to reiterate, this is in no way a top of the line video camera, BUT for the price you are getting a very good piece of equipment that you should enjoy. There are a couple of things not included that should be which stops it from getting a full 5 stars, but other than that its still very good.

I purchased this item for the camcorder only and am pleased with it. I knew that is was not $800.00 electronic equipment, so I found that the video and sound were fine for the price. Having done some research ahead of time, I also purchased two 2gb cards and used an old camera case that I'd had, so I didn't have any of the surprises or accidents that others have had. I didn't have any battery issues, but intend to buy another so I won't have any problems in the future. Software worked easily and the video looks great on my PC. Have yet to burn a DVD.

I got mine in the mail last week. The video quality is great, more than sufficent, believe me. And the battery lasts a long time. The energy indicator said the battery was about dead, but i still played mp3s on it for an hour. I still got an extra battery for it which should be arriving in the mail soon. If i'm on a road trip that would be very handy to just switch out the battery and conitnue listening to music. The battery just slides out. You open the cover and slide it out easily, though it's still perfectly secure. There's a charger you place it on. You don't place the whole camera on the charger. This is also handy if, say, you are on a road trip somewhere and want to quickly change the battery. Screen is more than big enough, believe me. Holds up to 2 GB cards which is currently uncommon for cameras at this price (going by the ones i've seen.) Oh yeah and when you record a video your voice or other sounds are recorded great too. It comes in very clear. there's no need at all to shout. that was something i was worried about before i got it. I would recomend buying a few things for it if you've got the money: an extra battery, a case, some cards (i like to have seperate cards for mp3s, pictures, and video, but that's just me.)and well that will get ya set and all of the accesories are very cheap. i would recomnend this camera. don't listen to the negative things about it. even if it does break early USE THE WARRANTY. The warranty lasts a year. and from what i hear aiptek has updated this camera since it's inception.
