Review on πŸŽ₯ Aiptek DV3100 3.1MP AVI Digital Camcorder (No Longer Produced) by Don Santos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

GOOD FOR THE PRICE. BUT.

This device is good for the price, however DV3300 (DV4) and DV3500 (DV5) are already available in Europe (DV5 only in Germany) and more reliable devices - the next two generations of Aiptek Pocketdv adds some necessary FUNCTIONS added. BOTH HAVE FLASH AND BACKLIGHT FUNCTIONS AND THE DV5 OFFERS MPEG4 RECORDING. WHILE THE RECORDING FEATURES OFFER ONLY 10FPS AT 640X480 RESOLUTION. THEY OFFER 10-30FPS WITH LOW RESOLUTION VIDEOS. YOU HAVE TRUE 2 MEGAPIXEL RESOLUTION. INTERPOLATED SENSOR (SOFTWARE THAT ADD PIXELS BUT DON'T ADD QUALITY) YOU CAN OUTPUT A RESOLUTION OF 3 MEGAPIXELS. BOTH ALSO OFFER INTEGRATED MP3 PLAYERS AND USE SD CARDS FOR COMPACT FLASH. FOR SOME REASONS AIPTEK (A GERMAN COMPANY) HAS NOT YET PUBLISHED THIS HERE IN THE STATES. HOWEVER, YOU CAN SOMETIMES FIND THEM ON AUCTION SITES FOR ABOUT TWO BENJAMIN FRANKLINS BUT WILL PAY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FEES. HOPEFULLY AIPTEK WILL RECOGNIZE SOON THAT THE AMERICAN MARKET CAN INCREASE ITS PROFIT AND LAUNCH ITS PRODUCTS HERE. YOU CAN FIND DETAILS ABOUT DV3300 (DV4) AT GERMAN AIPTEK WEBSITE WWW.AIPTEK.DE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE DV5 YET AS THEY ARE JUST INTRODUCING THIS PRODUCT.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Long awaited
