very good camera i used this for all my videos and to me its satisfying all my customers for music videos its a worth a buy trust me

[ReviveGuyv]

So, can you put this camera on a tripod? That's about all I want to know about this camera now, thanks to your input.

Also, can a 60-frame-per-second video be slowed down on, say, Premiere to make smooth, 30-frame-per-second slo-mo?

You say the visuals aren't exactly Star Wars....is there any movie/tv show/whatever that you could compare it to?

Thanks for the review, and other input.

[chazzl3]

[SPORTSLOGOSTV]

If you want to record wivdeo without using a expensive HD PVR I would suggest this but don't try it on HD TV's It will mess it up Use it Only on a Old "Dinosaur TV" all you need is the component cord a splitter for video and a console

[theSONESTARtv]

How can i film a video with the light or can i not

please help

[59Gretsch]

Your vid was very nicely done, fast moving and full of info.

[Heather45689]

My mom said its also a webcam, and when I try and install it to my computer it wont let me... and i read the directions and stuff. I'm really confused and its not plugging in right

[59Gretsch]

@Heather45689 I hope you didn't make the mistake of pluging the camera into your computer before installing the disc?

I did that with a same brand camera...different model and it would never recognize that computer.

Always install the C-D before plugging up the device.

[TheAgentAssassin]

JUST Got one for $50 and I still might return iT

[PartyPommes]

[halo2pc]

I bought myself a Toshiba Camileo P30 and I'm happy with it.

[PyroCrewBergen]

Do you Like this Camera? nice?

[rexta206]

thank you i will mabey buy that video recorder

[ohu8one2008]

Just bought a new battery and 8meg card for mine, it rocks for the price and here is a tip for recording sound at a concert that is mega loud. The mic is located on the side and if you take a nylon not plastic bandaid and cover it using the padding the sound comes out excellent! Who cares about the format there are plenty of apps that convert if you know how to use a computer and your mommy does not have you locked down from installing them. I love this cheap cam it's tough and can hang.

[DontBeARandy]

i have this camera sux i have it and i hate that it records in .mov which is annoying for pcs and the quality isnt that good

[yutubemedia]

@DontBeARandy i know right? I HATE .MOV, its SO SLOW on the computer. But unfortunately that is the only HD file format that HD cameras record in

[TKBro12TV]

@yutubemedia it comes with software to change it to wmm or others

[TKBro12TV]

@yutubemedia i thought that the camcorder was pretty good especally the external mic not alot of camcorders have theat

[TheSleegi]

@yutubemedia

You can change .MOV to .MP4 you know.

[NwLuxuryAndExotics]

this camera does not have 720p. they totally lied to everyone. and you must of gotten this thing at target eh?

[yutubemedia]

@NwLuxuryAndExotics it DOES have 720p, but its just crappy 720p. it 100% hd, but just not that good as others. no i used amazon

[tracefleeman]

Can you send me a copy of the software for it? I lost mine!

[VideoGuyNC]

It's not actually 8mp quality. It's a 5mp sensor that interpolates up to 8mp for images. Also, because it's a cmos sensor - you get a good bit of pixelation.

[MalikLee300]

i got one from a friend witout a chager so i got my ps3 chager but how do i know if its charging or not

[NWA1503]

aiptek kinda blows

[TheSkater4life17]

[hellomrjunk]

Ppl don't get this camera I had it and it wore out after about 3 months...and trust me I am VERY careful with my electronics

[trancelistic]

Hi, nice video. COuld u tell me how much FPS it records on?

[ontopp247]

this camera does not last long

[joannesiano]

hey great vid just one questoin. when you transport it onto the computer do you hae to wait the lenght of the video to get it on the computer or does it take only like 5 seconds? and can u show a vid of the zoom?

[Hotshot3161]

Dear yutubemedia,

I am interseted in buying an Aiptek camcorder off of Amazon, but I'm not sure if there's anywhere else that I could buy it from for the same price.

Where did you get yours from?

[itemnumbernine]

I wonder what kinda people you know that you would have to tell them that this is not the camera to make the next star wars or et movie *nervous laugh*. Well duh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. "i plan to make a multi-million dollar box office hit quick get me the most inferior camera on the market today to do it with"

[pytheus77007]

What camera were you using to film this and how would you rate it in comparison?

Thank you for sharing!

[Y3KBeats]

Hey dude, one more question, is this good for recording at night?

[Y3KBeats]

How much was that?

[Izzayronii]

Do you know how to turn this into a webcam?

[LarssonS]

Does this camera records if the display is closed ? Thanks

[TheKissme1298]

I have that one mine works really good!

[Vmt16]

4GB = Lots of HD video time? I thought 4GB = 1 hour of 720p HD?

[ClaireBuggiee]

I'm planning get one, but is the Aiptek a good camcorder to get?

Or atleast decent or something?

[pencilpusher64]

um i know this is random but i have this camera and it conducts a lot of flicker if i record the tv.But my parents' camera doesn't.Can someone help?

[ENDVash]

do the outputs on it work as inputs as well so you can record your tv like on some of the other models?

[yutubemedia]

@ENDVash no, i dont think so. It doesn't record tv by cords or anything

[PurpleTeletubbie]

[yutubemedia]

[Y3KBeats]

@yutubemedia WOW that camera can't get close shots while recording?

[jordomite]

[albertandcandice]

please reply ... how do i put the videos i record onto my computer ... ive tried everything i know .. i havnt been able to put the videos from my camera onto my PC .. please help

[yutubemedia]

plug it into your pc with the usb cord, then find the camera under "my computer" or take out the SD card and put it in your Memory card slot on your pc. oh, you have to turn the camera OM when you plug it in with a usb cord!

[albertandcandice]

i know .. i tried that ... it WONT WORK!!!!

[yutubemedia]

well idk then. Maby something is corrupt or broken

[SoadFanMick]

i have it

[dvs1115]

is it mac compatible?

[THESUNOFABEACH]

let me ask you something....

did u use that exact same camera to record this video...

like do u have 2?

[yutubemedia]

No, i used a cannon camera to record this.

[2rich2kare]

Is it Mac compatible?

[Danielrulz00]

Wait, if u go to my works does it only show videos and pictures or does it only show only videos, pictures, and voice recorder? because in my camera it only shows videos and pictures. I love my camera because a cool little intro called "welcome" this camera pwns but might not last long : - (

[Overtall125]

what do you do if you camcoder dosent turn on ?

[yutubemedia]

@Overtall125 um, its probably broken!?? Return it, Call The company Aiptek

[iTzZTrAvIs]

how do you add music to it though?

[WalkerTexasRanger195]

When I bought mine last Christmas, it was $160,also mine didn't have a microphone port.

[furturescorese]

actually 120 min is 2 hours, not 2 and a half

[timmyyyrox2]

@furturescorese 120 is just for the 4 gig card, but u get 30 mins built in memory.

[MegaCougar7]

when u turn the lcd screen.........can u put it down all the way with the screen facing out???

[yutubemedia]

Ya, i think so

[Jam07140]

nerd...

[Arteolike]

You can add a higher quality microphone but it already has one in it right?

[petenicezz]

On the Aiptek 720 HD it has QVGA 30f. If I set it to that resolution will it still be HD?

[yutubemedia]

@petenicezz idk, try doing it and uploading it, and see if it has the HD option.

[henik9]

slash if the white balance would be good for snow..

[henik9]

I'm wondering how usable this would be for snowboarding vids. Do you think the record button would be easy to use with some thin gloves on?

[petenicezz]

I was turning the lens to change to micro mode and i turn the lens to far around that it snap from setting to micro mode and now i can't set back to nomicro mode and is stuck on micro mode. I try to take the lens out but was to hard and i didn't to break the lens so how can i set it back to nomicro cause won't switch.

[yutubemedia]

well i think your broke it, you probably cant.

[RollySkater81]

[jimmyhartley]

[MMAMangaka012]

[Pieisgood2me]

[snoman6363]

does this camera/camcorder have an AV IN port plz reply soon

[Hartman442]

yes it does. great for a headcam.

[FilmGuyJohn]

I like it. I bought an external mic because the sound quality is crappy. Zoom sucks as well. But don't buy the $9.99 external mic, those will crack. I bought a $100 external mic too make the sound quality perfect!

[mrballa23]

Whats your mic called ? Where could I find it at ?

How did you hook it up to the camcorder ?

[yutubemedia]

Um, i used a cannon power shot camera to record my voice & record this video, it has a built in mic

[FilmGuyJohn]

I got a MIC: SONY ECM-MS908C (and the sound is superb).

There is an external Mic hook up above the camera.

[alphaadrian1]

it is a nice camera, but whenever i record a video it makes noises when i press the start button please help

[richardpaulgriffin]

the audio recording is terrible, but the video is amazing!

[xplodingbunnys]

I was wondering . i have had this cam for a while and it wont let me edit on windows movie maker . What editing system do u use for this cam .

[yutubemedia]

Thats because the file format s .MOV, which windows Movie maker does not allow. So I use camtasia Studio.

[xplodingbunnys]
