Aiptek camcorders are made by Advanced Intelligent Personal Technologies, which is a Taiwan company that started in 1997. They started out producing graphical tablets to transfer drawing to computers and branched out into multi-tasking technologies, including their multi-tasking line of Aiptek digital cameras and Aiptek camcorders.
For those that are looking for a camcorder, digital camera, MP3 players, removable hard disk, internal flash reader or webcam to DVD recorder, Aiptek camcorders come in models that offer 6 functions, including all of these. Not only are they capable of multi-functioning, but also they are affordable-you can get the new model, DV5 for around $100, and it uses MPEG4 formatting.
Reviews of Aiptek Camcorders were primarily good but we will look at the Pros and Cons reported.
Pros:
The affordability and value of Aiptek camcorders are the primary things most consumers rave about. You have to admit, if you were to purchase each of the component separately, they would cost you three times the price of the multi-tasking Aiptek camcorders. Purchasing an MP3, digital camera and camcorder alone would definitely set you back considerably, and they are capable of more functions than the basic ones these products are capable of.
The quality of the product is another thing consumers like about the Aiptek camcorders. Whether it is videos or pictures, voice recordings, or playing MP3 files on the built-in speakers, they offer a lot of quality for the money.
Numerous models to choose from is something that Aiptek camcorders offer. Whether you are looking at the GO-HD 720p High Definition camcorder with optical zoom, the A-HD 720p High Definition camcorder, the MZ-DV Aiptek camcorders, the Zoom DV-3X Optical Zoom with Auto Focus model or the latest Aiptek camcorders, the DV-5, you will find one with the specifications that are suitable for most usages.
Aiptek camcorders have a fully trained staff of experts that are available to help you with any questions around the clock. This 24/7 service is something that many amateur video producers are happy to see included.
Cons:
Aiptek camcorders might have a few dissenters, but even they give the products at least an average rating. Most of the consumer reviews were by professionals that wanted a higher quality product than they found in Aiptek camcorders. Of course, what can you expect for around a hundred or two hundred dollars?
There were a few that found them difficult to understand the functions, although that is true of any newer electronic gadgetry these days. Some people have a hard time understanding an MP3 player, never mind a product that can do six different things. We can understand this criticism, so the less technologically advanced might not like any products that have multiple functions, regardless of whether they are Aiptek camcorders or some other brand.
Summary:
The Aiptek camcorders are great for those that are looking for a multiple function audio and video solution at a great price. They might be a little too complicated for those that aren’t too technologically savvy, however.
