The best camera I've ever gotten.

I received this camera for a trip to New York three years ago. I bought it from Target for $100 and was blown away by the quality. Of course you can only shoot in sunlight (it doesn't have a flash and gets grainy inside), but despite that, the very detailed photos and ability to capture colors (and bring out more with a bit of Photoshop) convinced me I love this camera. .-You must also understand that the built-in lens is to be used, otherwise your photos will be blurry. It's also very durable.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Negative gift

However, not good enough.

I am ordering this camera based on specs, reviews and web research. After investigating its capabilities for a week, I found that its 4-in-1 features falls somewhere in the middle in terms of quality, and here it is: 1. as digital video (camcorder) - so supports only up to 10 fps , the video is not smooth and zoom functions are not available.2. as a digital camera - 2 MP is good, the pictures are ok if you pay attention to the lens when taking pictures. no flash, no optical zoom, only 2xโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Too long to wait

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 (SOFTWAREโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Long awaited

Great camcorder for beginners!

I bought this camera for my wife for Christmas and I hope the good reviews are true. Well they were! It works even better than expected! Additional memory is required if you want to record longer than 5-10 minutes, but you can get a 250MB Edge memory card for less than $30 at Revain! People who say it can't be used indoors shouldn't open windows - or they live somewhere where the sun never gets into their house. It records well in daylight indoors! We've easily recorded hours of vacationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Factor rate

Best Digital Camera Deal

I have just purchased the Aiptek DV3100 and I have to say that when compared to other digital cameras this camera is on par with cameras costing around $300 in terms of quality and features, not only that's why it's 3.1 megapixels. In the past I've had several digital cameras that broke, got lost or got stolen. I didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a camera that could break, get lost, or be stolen. In fact, the quality of this camera is better than some digital cameras I've had in the

Pros
  • Only Positive
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

cool, but. on camcorders

So I walked through the Best Buy store and saw this cool toy. I took it, read the packet, put it down, continued shopping, came back, read the packet again and bought it. It has its good and bad points. Pros: cheap.; cool (small, pocket-sized); expandable (has a slot for a compact flash drive); Photos can be set to 1.3, 2 or 3.1 megapixels; can be connected via USB, plugged into a TV or if you are using a CF just pull out the chip and stick it in a CF reader. Cons: Seems cheap, all plastic; The

Pros
  • fingers crossed

Excellent camcorder for radio models

For the money, this tiny camcorder is a steal! There are so many functions packed into its small body that I'm frankly blown away. I only bought this camera to experiment with capturing video from a moving radio control (R/C) model. I've shot a few videos so far and the quality is definitely acceptable at 10 fps. However, the sound quality is quite harsh. But adding music to the sound reduces the harshness. As the famous saying goes, this camcorder will lick and keep ticking. Attached to my RCโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great "Entry Level " DV+ Camera!

If you're looking to get into digital video (or, for that matter, digital photography) and have budget concerns, then this is the camera for you. Or if you (sometimes) want to use a small/lightweight DV/still camera instead of your big camera, then this is the perfect choice. The "native" resolution of the photograph is 2 megapixels (also 3.1 megapixels, interpolated) and produces quite beautiful and satisfactory images taken in natural (outdoor) light (no flash). Video quality (10 fps) is good

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I'll be silent

Good value for money

I'm a fan of budget devices and by those standards this nifty little 4-in-1 stands up to the best. First off, you get a 3.1 megapixel digital camera for a third of the price of most other products in this category. If it stopped right here it would still be an amazing deal. However, you also get a palm-sized digital video camera, digital voice recorder, USB webcam, and USB removable storage device. All for $$$. Here's a deal I just couldn't turn down. However, approach this product with yourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
