Aiptek Pocket DV4500

Pros: Size, ease of use, price, "coolness" factor

Cons: None that I can find yet

The Bottom Line: Great product for anyone...beginner to expert.

Review: I had asked for and received this for Xmas and am glad I asked for it! This DV is easy to use but still has quite a few options and settings for the "closet geek" to play around with. Video clips are very good and use the MPEG4 format, which saves alot ...

Pros: good sound reception, very easy to use, good price

Cons: slight shutter lag, updated models now available

Review: It's as simple as pressing a button, no matter what you're trying to do. As long as the camera can do it, it's easy! Of course, you might get spoiled by how easy it is and then get frustrated when you actually have to navigate through a menu or two to ...

Pros: Affordable, ease of use, video quality, software

Cons: Battery life, focus, light sensitivity

The Bottom Line: This product is an excellent buy, and one you will not regret. It's loaded with features and quality, and a price that is much better than the other cameras.

Review: Aiptek offers a Video camera/ still camera/ mp3 player at an extremely affordable cost here. So, let's get to the break down. Video: Obviously this is the main selling point on the camera, so I will cover it first. In scenes were not a-lot of action ...

Pros: Price, size, features, easy computer interface

Cons: frame rate could be higher with video, no optical zoom

The Bottom Line: Good camera/video cam for someone who does not want to mess with video tapes and can file everything in your computer

Review: The AIPTEK DV4500 is a great little product. I have had previous products from the company and to a certain extent, you get what you pay for. That is, given the pricing on most AIPTEK products, don't expect the highest quality materials. So, ...

Pros: cheap, easy, efficient, expandable,

Cons: Shaky, blurry sometimes, see above!

The Bottom Line: Its a good camera for the price!

Review: If you want a cheap camera that works and will take video and plays MP3's then this is the camera for you. It might not be the best camera out there and certainly sometimes does not take the best pictures, and if you are not moving steadily enough the ...

Pros: Very flexible for the cost. Easy to use.

Cons: Low quality lens, Pictures are okay but not great.

The Bottom Line: Get this camera if you like mixing video and pictures. It is really nice to be able to switch between both with a single device!

Review: If you are looking for something that does multiple digital things, then this is a great little gadget for what you pay. I like the size as it can easily be put into your pocket. It works kind of like a camcorder more than a camera. It records in ...

Pros: Tiny, inexpensive, flexible, performs as advertised. Generous software provided.

Cons: Video limited by size and price. Corrupt support cd-rom, and tech support failure are concerns.

The Bottom Line: The Palm Pilot of digital video cameras. Most people will enjoy having one. Quality and support are emerging as things to beware of.

Review: While a picture is worth a thousand words, even a low-quality video is, in some ways, worth an awful lot of pictures. There is a relatively new form of digital video camera available almost exclusively on the Internet. There are several brands, led ...

Pros: Very handy for everyday videos and stills, especially outdoors. Long battery life. Easy to use.

Cons: Video cam feature and LCD are useless at low light.

Review: Quality of pictures and video are a lot better than I expected for the price I paid. The still pics I took using the highest resolution, with 2x digital zoom are clear even if viewed on a 29 inch TV. Pretty good for a 2.1 mp CMOS lens. Videos taken ...

Pros: Ease of use, very good MP3 sound quality, with a volume control.

Cons: low quality videoclip resolution, but still passable.

Review: Although the body is plastic, it still has some quality to it. Also the buttons are a little to small, but manageable. This camcorder would be a winner if the videoclip frame rate would be higher at 640 X ...

Pros: Excellent sound recording and playback Small size Easy operation

Cons: Poor picture quality No AC adapter

The Bottom Line: This camcorder is a lot of fun. For everyday occasions it fills the bill and can occasionally produce acceptable results. Too bad, though, that the picture quality is so lacking.

Review: The Aiptek DV4500 is a sophisticated toy, most of whose many advanced functions are lost to its relatively poor (640 x 480 MP) picture output in stills and videoclips. Regardless of settings (including focus), most pictures are fuzzy, even more so with ...
