CHEAP FEEL TO IT...EVEN AT THIS PRICE. AND HD, SERIOUSLY?. This camera seemed like a great deal. Aiptek Action HD GVS had HD and right at $200. But when we plugged in the HD cables from the camera to the TV, the hues were way off. We had to plug in the regular AV cables to get regular colors. This camera doesn't like anything but bright settings. Even recording in the house, you better open the door, all the windows, turn on all the lights and maybe even knock out a wall! I ordered this camera with high hopes and expectations (for the price), even after reading the reviews. The buttons on the back of the camera were poorly marked and the joystick felt really flimsy. The whole camera had a cheap feel for it. No, I didn't expect movie quality images, but I expected better than this. And the still images were a was to time. This seemed like a good deal, but do a little more research and find a better camea in this price range. I returned Aiptek Action HD GVS after a week.
Review for the average Joe.. I strongly recommend this camera if you are looking for an inexpensive camera for family use.
My only experience with a camcorder is the $800.00 Panasonic VHS-c camcorder I purchased 10 years ago just before my first child was born.
10 years later, I found that I did not use my original camera too often. The old camera is big and bulky and about 5 to 6 times the size and weight of the Aiptek. The other reason is, I don't even have a VCR anymore. (I know, I could hook the camera up to my TV)
The biggest reason for me to get something new was for editing. VHS-c is a long and slow process to put on the computer for editing and I wanted better video quality.
I began looking at high definition camcorders and the Aiptek Action HD GVS 1080P High Definition Camcorder
was recommended to me because of good reviews. After reading the reviews on line, looking at videos posted on youtube, and the price of the camcorder, I decided to buy it.
I admit I have not used the Aiptek Action HD GVS 1080P High Definition Camcorder very much but here is what I can tell you:
1) It is inexpensive...My first camcorder cost me $800.00 with accessories. This one cost me around $400.00 with accessories. (Camera, external charger, extra battery, 16 Gig SD card and the Sima bracket. There was tax and some shipping as well.)
2) The camera is small, easy to use and very portable.
3) I bought a 16 Gig SD card for it and for the moment I don't think I need more. The camera says I have 4 hours of available video at the 1080p setting.
4) The camera likes a lot of light. The more light the better. In rooms with just one light on...the video is very dark. I thought I had purchased the Sima SL-20LX Ultra Bright Video Light when I made my purchase. I just discovered I didn't. Due to the lighting issues I have seen in my own home, I am going to buy the Sima Light. Just a note, My VHS-c camcorder was horrible inside the house when I did not use the built in light.
5) I bought the Sima SLB-M Video Bracket. Just used it for the first time and really like it. The camcorder is small. Holding it in one hand is not recommended because it is too hard to keep steady with one hand. You can hold the camera with one hand and the video screen with the other but the Sima is a metal bracket and is sturdier than the movable plastic video screen. You will also want it for you Sima LED light. You will want to hold the camera steady for the best video.
6) The camera did not come with a wrist strap. I purchased one and recommend it.
7) Another review was negative for the the choppy video at 1080p. It is choppy when everyone is moving a lot but with good lighting the picture looks great. With this camera it is a trade off. Slightly choppy video for great picture quality. For sports, you will probably want to use the 720p at 60fps setting.
8) The *only* setting that uses the cameras stabilization is the 720p at 60fps mode.
I review all my electronics on line and I hope this review helps you make your decision easier. I am happy with the camera and it works for my needs.
Excellent camera. Great camera. The 1280X720 60fps is excellent for sporting events. Very lightweight and easy to use. I love Aiptek Action HD GVS .
