Question: Can this record with the LCD panel closed? I have the 720p non-zoom version and it's not able to record with the LCD panel closed (to save battery life).  Do any of you know if this 1080 version can record with the panel closed?  Thanks.
Document: As a HD camera, it's a great inexpensive choice. (I found it for $119.99 online elsewhere.) It's very easy to learn to use. Battery life is excellent and the 32GB SD card capacity means plenty of HD record time.I do have some critiques for Aiptek though. The mic is not good quality. The bad placement of it only makes it worthwhile to capture the operator's speech. Forget it for trying to capture your subject's sound.
Pros: 60fps 720p recording, Cheap accessories, Good still shots, Size, Price.Cons: Low light recording mediocre, No stability control, Battery life.I was on the fence between the Flip Mino camcorder and the Aiptek A-HD/A-HD+. I made the decision to go with the A-HD+, simply because it had 60fps 720p recording, and I would be taking a LOT of action shots.
worth the purchase price for sure.where all cheap camcorders fail is in the low light (indoors, evening) department, video will look graiiny und ugly. the aiptek only has a digital zoom. my advice, do not use it, especially while filming, as the device does not have image stabilization. also, better to avoid panning as some tv's will show a combing effect.but within these limitations the ability to shoot 1080, 720p and dv quality at this price point is amazing !
After having this camcorder for a year (the black version), I would have to give it a pretty high rating.Here are some of the great things about it:1) Its size is great to take pics or video on the run.2) The personal media function is a nice bonus.3) It has cables for both HD & non-HD tvs for easy viewing of videos & pics4) The removable SD card (up to 32GB) is a nice feature, esp.
I would say the best overall setting is 720p 60FPS. Theres no stabilization but its really stupid to complain that the footage is 'shaky' when all you have to do is hold your arm more steady/hold it with 2 hands. After all the camera captures exactly what it sees and its lightweight. Theres a tripod mount too.-tips for playbackThe version of quicktime included on the CD is an old version that plays choppy on even the fastest computer.
It's only after I got a new 64 bit machine and viewed them again that I was able to tell the difference.The only downside that I find with this camcorder is the zoom in and zoom out feature. Not very impressive range or quality. But for the price, I can't complain either. I would recommend to anyone who is not intending to be a pro in videography.
However, you can pause, then zoom, then record. Which brings me to the most important issue, the lack of an image stabilizer, this is hardly a feature I expected to find on this type of camera, nevertheless, it will drive the "pros" insane.
It is possible to flip the camera LCD to record yourself. It takes nice stills (see the Cons). And finally, it makes for an unusual recording device (you can record from DVD or TV to the camera Memory Card and later transfer and play the files on your computer (they will not play on your PSP or iPod unless you convert to their respective codecs.
If you're looking for a cheap video camera to record memories or what have you, look no further. While it's not something you'd use to shoot some ridiculously high-quality production, it's pretty much what most people want in a camera.First, the good. The price is astoundingly cheap for what you get. 1080p at 30 fps, 720p at 60. What more could you want?
HD picture quality is terrible when panning.Sometimes it just shuts down for no reason and wont turn back on, even with a full charge.Always fails to work when I need it most.Battery life is short.Audio is terrible.The pros:It's cheapThe HD is nice if the camera works and it's mounted on a tripod.Worst purchase I made in years.
Answer: Yes it can.  You have to open it and flip it so that the viewing panel is exposed, but it goes back to the flat position as if it's closed.
