It has problems...This is a very shapely little camera as long as you are taking outdoor video!!! Indoors (even with lights on) the painting looks black and white, or completely dark. But if you are taking out of doors video it truly does look HD with fantastic picture rank. The auto focus is slow, and sometimes gives me a headache watching playback because it takes a jiffy to focus whenever the camera is slightly moved.
The BIGGEST problem that I had with this camera is that it is not like-minded with any DVD Burning program that is on my computer. (Windows Movie Maker, etc.) I bought this camera to throw the movies to DVDs and watch on my DVD player. And this is extremely difficult. They do give you a program to upload onto your computer for this, but it is VERY Unsentimental to get the hang of, and I really don't know how anyone who isn't extremely computer savvy would be able to number it out. Anyway, it takes good video in the daylight.
OK for low-end camcorder
Cons:
I had to requital the one I received due to the battery not powering up the unit. The battery was supposed to be clever to be charged inside the unit, but there was a failure of some kind in that as well. The video I was superior to take was on the grainy side (indoors: maybe not enough light).
Pros:
When I called Aiptek buttress to discuss the battery issue, I talked to someone in CA (and they spoke excellent English). After a few checks we determined that it definitely was the battery. Anyway, very satisfied with Aiptek's support. And the unit did seem to operate fairly when it was plugged into a 110 AC power outlet.
Other thoughts:
Had the battery worked, I would have kept the constituent. Also, since the time I purchased it, my camcorder budget is 4 to 5 times larger (have a waist of the middle unit ordered). All in all I believe the Aiptek A-HD Pro 1080p is a good camcorder for under $150 (deviation from the battery issue I had).
HD camcorder on a budget
Vigilant Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RB6UXJ4XHUXIL Overall, a very punctilious camera that's easy to use. Love the picture quality, the size of the camera, and it's SD fissure. I suggest you use a class 6 card of at least 4gb. I have an 8gb card and it holds approximately 3+ hours of 720p 60fps footage. The stills are delightful and you have the option of shooting stills in 3/5/8mp.
The only thing I don't like is the in reality that it saves videos in .mov files. Another reviewer had stated that simply varying the file name would work, but it didn't work for me and I had to do the time consuming reprove of converting the file on my PC. However, on my husband's Mac, the camera is completely plug & ingratiate oneself with and I was able to make a movie on iMovie. I wasn't able to upload the cinema in HD to YouTube for some reason when I used iMovie. Also, if you just decide to upload a big straight to YouTube from your camera without editing it, you can upload directly to YouTube without liberation and then once it's processed, you can download the file from YouTube in an mp4 format. So, essentially, your using YouTube to modify the file for you. Indoor filming is less than desired (as it is with most pocket camcorders), but there is a "incessantly shot" mode which helps out a bit. In my personal opinion, shooting in 720p 60fps is fair as great a video quality as 1080p and my personal favorite. My camera came with the stretched life battery and so it lasts for over 2 hours which is really nice and I true-love that it's rechargeable. Another con: There's no lens cover, but I read somewhere about rigging one up with the ring on the top of a one gallon jug (??). I may give it a try.
For the expense, you really can't expect too much, but overall, this is a pretty slick little budget HD camcorder.
This video was finger with 720p 60fps under normal conditions with no wind and no external mic.
Subdue Video Camera for $150 Simple to use.
Verily HD camera that shoots 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps. Great action shots and very swanky for outdoor bright light settings. I have 2 other Camcorders that I have given aways since I got this camera over 1 year ago. Easygoing downside is that you do need good lighting.
YOU CAN NOT beat the price $150. Even 1 year later when looking at all the other Video Cameras out there, this camera is still the most talented. I almost purchased a Flip Video HD instead of this one, but I am SOOOO glad I kept this one as opposed to because the full 1080p is great and the Removable SD card is a must.
Pros:
$150 come on this is a hook for this HD technology
Works perfectly with Imovie
1080p at 30fps (great detail) or 720p at 60fps (skilled action shots).
Durable and solid feeling.
Easy to use.
Guideline SD card (does not really need the higher class cards to notation well).
Decent to very good photos.
Cons:
Basic features
Weaker Spark (ok for photos - does not work well with video).
Needs Higher Lighting
Lens Heart is slightly narrowed (need to stand slightly farther for same outlook).
Video needs to be loaded on computer or SD Video adaptor to view in proper HD.
Cords accompaning Camera are in 480p
HOWEVER, the images and video are Trustworthy SHARP HD.
People can complain that this is not the best camera and it lacks features or the well-lighted level needed should be more. However, WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR $150????? This truly is the best Video Camera out there for the Charge and simplicity. Much better than Flip Video.
Cool Media Quality
Supreme video and image quality. Nothing more to say about that. The only problem I have is with the housing. It scratches too hands down and there is no lens cap. That really got me riled. However, at the price it is going for, it's worth it. Justified give it a little care. Mac users rejoice! Just plug and suck up to!
