The Aipek is a video camera (720p), a camera and an MP3 player. It comes with lots of accessories: AV cable, HDMI cable, USB cable, wrist strap, strap, lens hood, from the splendor and serves as a stand at the same time, and headphones. I like very much that all of these accessories with the Aipek, primarily the armband kam.Die size is quite small and manageable. You can use the camera in your pocket or handbag. The MP3 player is not bad if all you have is the Aipek. The screen size is minimal, but that’s what it is for the size opfern.Diese video camera is no real competition for a flip or a Vado, like the picture and sound quality is much lower than one of them. But it’s still fun to use and useful. See, my intended use is not to take video quality with the latter. Although it is not bad, it’s not ideal. The video quality is grainy at best and I recommend to use the sun visor to protect from the glare of the camera is very sensitive to it. The image stabilization is quite bad, it’s like in each of these mini-video cameras. The camera has a light that you can take video at night, but be sure to close the subject or object as it is not as powerful. The video quality is very grainy in Nacht.Einer the disadvantages that the flips and Vados, that they do not have a camera, so. The 5MP camera is still pretty bad. It is hard, good, or at least average, if your subject or object is not completely silent. This hardly works for moving targets. But the bottom line: If you decide to take something, if you go between a Flip or Vado and a Aipek, what would you have to take you? Answer: Your digital camera. The camera will take better pictures and videos with sufficient quality, comparable to the Aipek.Nun I would definitely take the Aipek about the Flip and Vado, when I go snowboarding. I just want to strap with the armband and start recording as I go down the mountain! The Aipek seems just a bit more durable than the flip or not Vado and O disturbed than when it brach.Insgesamt it’s an interesting concept and nice to have it all in one. The quality of the video only has a lot Arbeit.Bewertung: 3 / 5

I wanted to love these little camcorders, as I have a video-Clock-mother, who collects and uses different cameras and camcorders in all sizes. Unfortunately Aiptek PenCamHD not meet my needs. I prefer the flip UltraHD because: 1) the display is larger, with much higher quality (yes, the flip is a bit larger and thicker, but it’s still in the pocket-sized) and 2) the quality of the reproduction of Aiptek’s PenCamHD far inferior in comparison to the flip UltraHD.Die PenCamHD’s display is also almost impossible to see outside in bright light. If the price still well below $ 100, I would say that would be the PenCamHD worth a try – but if you disconnect with your hard-earned money you want to be happy and therefore I propose to go with the flip UltraHD although It costs a little mehr.Bewertung: 3 / 5

Since I usually pictures with my cell phone (of unexpected events, if I do not mean regular camera at hand) and my flip camcorder UltraHD, 120 minutes (Black) to record videos of my child if I am not a video camera around this Product, per his description, seemed just what I needed. I use it now for over a month, I wanted to know really, just try it and use it as much as possible before a decision about them. The MUSIC Players included very easy for you to make it, you must first plug in the earphones included (with a universal input, you can use different earbuds if desired). After activation, the screen shows you a list of MP3 files that you stored in the device and all the subfolders you have created. During playback, displays all the info is the number of songs that you hear, time and length. That’s pretty much how it works. You can delete files, and by clicking on the “Delete” icon. This allows you to track the player you have to draw manually from your PC to the device manually. The sound quality is pretty good, but unfortunately the included earbuds look cheap and do not sound so good. I tried with some Woodees IESW100B Inner-ear stereo earphones with microphone and I have noticed a difference worth mentioning. “VIDEO The Aiptek DV HD presents the same problem as other similar cameras, video recording, or indoors with not enough light in the quality suffer, while videos will be conducted during daylight hours, for example, needs to look good when watched on an HDTV or computer. I used this a few things in the last holiday party I attended, and I am satisfied with the record, see video look above the average of comparable cameras, but not like HD. Images look grainy indoors and not sharp. If you expect all your videos in HD quality, look, this should not be on the product you need. Video size is 1280×720, after reviewing all the videos, which I received, I can tell you that one minutes of video average 40 MB space like. mov files. While, therefore, can the quality of the videos do not look like HD, the size of the output files. It is important to note that despite the small screen has the Aiptek HD DV 1:1 aspect ratio is recorded and video production in 16 : 9 This was a concern of mine before, as when playing the video on the device they look, the reason is that the 16:9 is packed-to-compressed to fit the 1:1 screen. There I think there is room for improvement, I think she could have the screen to a small wide screen horizontally placed on the device. A big mistake, at least in my opinion, is that the device has no external speakers! You can even see your recorded videos on your device, but listen to them, the headphones must be used! This may not be a big problem, but definitely not practical. PHOTO This is the function I have the most widely used and the one I am very disappointed. Picture, I would not distinguish between the quality of the images was taken with my Nokia N95 (which not a special device for the images), and those taken with the Aiptek HD DV. Images above the average cell phone quality, as you pass by some sample pictures can tell, written by other reviewers. Some of the pictures I have problems with colors not right to look brown, blue jackets in the pictures, for instance. Since the imaging device is quite simple since it only covers what is on the screen, taking pictures of objects in motion simply not possible with this camera, the objects appear blurry. There is no function in the camera for this (like normal photo cameras are to be avoided) Another thing not to do, this camera is close-ups, either a person or object, make the camera too close to the object and ‘ll end up with a blurry image of what you wanted to get an idea of increase. (see the pictures I included) for your information As with the videos, the picture size 2592×1944 with the average size of an image to 1MB in JPEG format. A table in the manual shows the amount of videos, photos and mp3 files, you can in the unit, which is of course only an estimate, as the real thing, how many do you have to save depends on everyone. GENERALE Overall, if you opt for a device that so many things like this on a very basic level is not interested You will not be disappointed. The Aiptek HD DV results quite well, battery lasts a lot after almost a week of intensive use of the device, I had the battery that is longer than other similar devices, which I recharge. The battery is internal, so you tell them then go out is finished, there is no way to replace the batteries for new ones. The device is small, in fact, and take a very practical, which has one of the main advantages of this device over than others. On an additional note that the buttons are a little tough and may need more than one key work for them properly. The box contains: * HDMI cable for connecting to an HDTV set or an HD Home Cinema System * USB cable for connection to a computer to the files and charging the battery charge * * Basic Earphones An arm band so you can wear it there too .* A small protective base, you can plug in HD * The PenCam installation CD, which includes: Quick Time Player, media impressions and e-manual Rating: 3 / 5

The Aiptek PenCam Trio 4 GB HD camcorder sounds like a great concept. It is an HD camcorder, camera and MP3 player. The problem is, it is none of these things well. If the price of this product was around $ 50 or so I’d say go for it as it would take to secure an acceptable or toys. But this one first tool nein.So good as any digital camera, at least to the point and shoot digital video. I own three digital cameras, a Nikon DSLR, a Canon P & S, and a Panasonic P & S, that all come with a video function. All three shoot video rather than the Aiptek. So I can not see if I would use the Aiptek. I own an iPod, so I do not need an MP3 player. And accept my BlackBerry MP3 files as well. Both work better than the Aiptek. And remember, is not with the Aiptek as Kamera.Es that the camcorder is a terrible product, it is possible that other products are simply better. If the price falls dramatically, I would say keep it for those times when you can not afford to lose or break your primary camcorder/MP3 players and can not take it. Just do not view as something you’ll use to record important moments of life. Rating: 3 / 5
