Aiptek IS-DV 5 Megapixel Digital Camcorder and MP3 Player

So Far it seems to be an excellent purchase, but like all things it will depend on how long it works this good........Time will tell!!!! Only had the item for 4 days as it was a Xmas gift......

Pros: Price is right (cheap); Easy to use; clever tiny design; interesting features that you can personalize to your liking; sufficient storage (with addon 1GB card...spend extra and get it); battery life seems pretty good so far; no worry about power when connected to usb port on pc.

Cons: Video is not outstanding but ok; still photos come out pretty decent; for best results you need to use camera in good lighting conditions.

This little hand-held portable camera was good at first, I thought that the picture and video quality was fine, but then, 2 weeks after I bought it, the screen broke, and I can't even use it as a webcam. So now, I have to manually try to delete pictures and it is very difficult to maneuver. Also, with a very small memory chip, you can take maybe 12 pictures before the memory is full. I would recommend spending that extra $20-$30 for a better camera as this is possibly one of the worst digital camcorders that I have ever seen.

Only worked about 3 minutes first time we tried it but we are trying some other things???????

This product is nice but for some reason the lens kept moving on its' own. unless you check it out carefully, i would not invest in it.
