1. The video quality of this camera is amazing. wonderful clear and saturated
but you need to hold it steady and if its zoomed panning shots your after then no way...wrong camera.
2. The Video quality for the price you pay for the camera is unbelievable!
but the file format is .mov so you need to convert it to avi or other formats that video editors handle the best.(HD conversions take a while on standard computers)
3. The HD is again amazing but you will need a powerful graphics card, at least 1 Gig of ram and a chip above pentium 4 to edit HD without pulling your hair out.
4. The functions of the camera are basic but you get everything you need for your money with this camera (spec can be found on the Aiptek site)
But there is a small zoom and it's noisy so again if your after panning then get a higher budget camera.
5. Pictures are superb, brilliant clear images.
but the flash will drain the battery so if you want a camera for indoor use for long sessions, wrong camera.(has lcd lights for video and comes with two batt)
6. Remote and nice padded cover (no lens cap)
7. You cant use wide angle lenses but surely if you use them then you are really into making vids so you will go for a higher budget camera?
8. It's a dream to function, well set out buttens and menus are simple but perfect for quickly changing small settings such as HD down to SD wich still produces brilliant video.
9. Startup time is very quick wich is what you are looking for in a `capture the moment in wonderful HD camera`
thats the key hear if you want to make films with this camera with all the panning, wide angle and other pro techniques used in film shooting then wrong camera.
If you want a cheap camera that will capture your moments in a flash and in amazing video quality/ for the money you pay aswell! then this camera is the best.
For use in close up, in HD, prepared to be amazed.
So for what this camera is..... it's superb
