Camcorder comparison: Aiptek IS-DV vs. DXG-595V | HD (720p)

The Aiptek IS-DV digital camcorder is a low-cost, "standard-quality" camcorder. It's essentially an all-purpose webcam that can also handle photos and music. It costs around $50.

The DXG-595V is a low-cost HD camcorder. It handles video and photos. $170.

Here is a comparison of video footage between the 2 camcorders. The IS-DV's footage is shown in the camera's highest resolution setting (still low-quality though, so I didn't bother showing its other resolution), while the 595V's footage is shown in all of its resolution settings.
CORRECTION: The Aiptek's footage is actually shown in its lowest resolution. Sorry, the menu on that camera makes it seem like it's the highest, but it's not. In any case, both of its resolutions are low.

If you're serious about buying a camcorder for its video quality, at a low price, get the 595V. The IS-DV is pretty reliable, but it's basically just an accessory (makes a great webcam though, if you're looking for one with lots of features) .

P.S. - Sorry about the novel-length description.

[KevOfCHP]

I currently use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. However, when I made this video, I was using Adobe Premiere Elements 7.

1080p wins easy... but the secret to making it so great is the tripod!

[PaintBallM3n]

Hey I got the DXG595V, this is a great camcorder it has his cons like the fact that when you zoom while recording for some reason it loses the sound, and don't have a very nice recording in low light, well I think non do so far, I recently compared video quality with the SANYO vpc-th1 and still has better quality video that the more newer SANYO vpc-th1 ?.
