I am giving a review based on what This camcorder should perform based on the price. Too many people expect a $100 camcorder to perform like a $500 one. Compare apples to apples, people. This is great to stick in your pocket or purse and have on hand for those moments you wish you had SOMETHING to capture a surprise or unexpected moment, because it is quick and simple to start up and use, and SO small!. I find the screen size for something this small to be unbelieveable too, over 2". It does the basics and will record those precious memories, especially the ones that come and go pretty quick. No, the sound or picture quality is not superb, but better than NOTHING! It takes 2 AA batteries and uses them pretty quick; within and hour to hour and a half. I only use rechargeble batteries so this is not a problem for me. Only get regular ones if you're not "charged up" and need them right away. I plan on getting a Canon in the $250-$300 range when I have saved up for it; I refuse to put one on credit, that's why I got this for now. That's about it!

I received this video cam/camera last year for Christmas. I've not experienced any problems at this time. But like most people say you get what you pay for. It's not a $500 camera but its good for a good $100 camera. I would recommend it for basic use and good for traveling. If you wanna pay more for a more advanced thats your choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Had since last year, super durable if you have kids, August 11, 2009

I got this camera at bestbuy last year on sale. It is made for XP so I can easilly import all the video into windows movie maker. Windows movie maker wouldnt let me import quicktime video to make movies or do editing so I was happy to get a camera MADE for XP. The picture quality is ok, I leave mine set to 8 mp. It has a stabilizer for taking stills but it doesnt really work well. I use it to capture video of my son since I cant afford HD yet. The video picture is much better. The picture comes out great when you burn it to dvd for playback on TV after using windows movie maker (I use roxio dvd burning software for my home movies).

SUPER PLUS: I have a son who is going to be 15 months soon and I can give him this camera and not even worry about it breaking. I have a kodak that I dropped and it caused a leak in the screen so even though it works still its basically useless because you cant see the preview screen. This aiptek camera has fallen from my hands (I am almost 5'10") onto CONCRETE and STILL works perfectly.It has at least one dent from hitting the ground! I even bent the screen that flips out and it went back into place. This is the most durable camera Ive been around.

If you dont mind not havning HD then this is a great camera.

Peace in Christ
