 Great Value, but the auto focus.... August 22, 2010

This is a great product, with a great value at low cost. But it has a big focus problem, taking a lot of time to adjust the auto-focus. When I make a zoom (just a little touch or complete zoom) it takes several seconds to adjust, and those seconds are really important in the continous film.
 This AIPTEK camcorder is a really good one August 17, 2010

We are using this camcorder in our studio's work, and it gives a perfect picture, we have bought several of these camcorders already. two problems - too short life of the battery (less than an hour) and it records voices in not so good quality. However, the sound is still good enough, and also it is possible to use an external microphone. Highly recommend this type of camcorder!
 Very bad indoor picture (dark and grainy), and bad sound quality July 15, 2010

I purchased it about a year ago, mainly for recording indoor activity (dancing). I saw the reviews reporting poor indoor performance but also saw a clip on youtube taken indoor (in a basketball arena, flooded with light...) and it looked good.
So i bought it and found the video taken indoor comes grainy and dark. If i can flood the room with light then it's ok but in most situations i have no control over lighting, and even though the lighting seems reasonable to me - the video comes unacceptably dark and grainy (i played with all different settings of the camera).
The only way i found was to use the "night mode" feature in the settings. However, this causes blurriness. Well, better blurry than dark and grainy but it's not much of a consolation.
The sound quality of the built in mic is also extremely dismal. Haven't checked external one.
I regret buying this camera. Before this one i used to take clips with my 4 years old phone camera (LG env, 320x240) and the quality of the indoor picture and sound are much better.
Outdoor picture quality is reasonable. Sound still bad.
Works fine for me July 4, 2010

I was looking for a video camera that would be easy to use for recording an interview with aging parents: Something for the younger generations to have to remember great-grandparents in their own words. I am not experienced with this type of thing, ad I wanted something that had capability for external mic. This one had a good directional mic built-in, so we used that. It was not good enough or the ambient noise outdoors, but worked OK inside.
If I had it all to do again, I would use an external mic for better sound pickup.

The picture quality is great for the price and sound is good also. If you are looking for a good family video camera. The only thing I didn't like about this camera is that there was hardly any internal memory. I purchased a 4gb SDHC card after buying this camera, I liked this because it is easy to edit your videos on a computer with the software it comes with. Just put it in a SDHC card reader and import to a file.
