Good Little Camera
I saw this type of camera at the Battery store, when someone brought it in.
She paid a very low price for it, and I bought it even lower on Ebay, even with shipping and handling.
It a little fragile looking, but I think it probably is sturdy enough but careful handling.
It takes good still pictures, but you have to have a sturdy hand, as in most cases.
It only has 1 gig storage, which you have to buy youself, but at least that is an option.
As far as the vidio recorder, it is really good for a inexpensive camera, to learn on.
The batteries tend to burn up quickly, which might run into expense, if using the camera alot. And they suggest you use good AA, non rechargeable battery.
All in all I am satified, having not owned one before, and it does want I wanted.
Alot of people do like it, for starting out.Read full review...
Aiptek IS-AVERAGE2.4
I will go straight to the point...this product is worth 50 bucks MAX. On the good side, its small, plays mp3's and can be connected to your TV to view the videos/images. It turns on automatically when you open the screen, and shuts off when you close it. It also has 512 MB internal memory and image stabilization for the videos. Thats pretty much it for the good, now for the bad. They put it can record up to 50 min on the box...when batteries dont even last for 30 min in this thing, and im talking those digital camera MAX batteries. Picture quality in the videos are good enough in the sunlight, but not so great in any other light. As for the picture funtion...its listed as 8MP, but looks like 4MP...if you want pictures, a real camera would be best. The bottom line is, for 50 or less, this is an decent purchase. Anything over that, and its an offical rip off. Saving up money for one of Aipteks HD models would be a MUCH better option.Read full review...
Great Basic Camcorder- Good Digicam too... BUY IT!
Hi there everyone, here's my review for the Aiptek IS-DV2.4 digital camcorder.
This little thing is GREAT! Was going to go for a sleeker, skinnier HD Memorex camcorder, but when for this one instead. (I don't think I need the HD much anyway.) Plus, I needed a tripod socket!
Anyways, here's the bottom line: this camcorder is a GREAT buy for anyone looking to capture a family/friend outing, and/or for small-time video blogging.
I like the quality of the videos, especially the D1 resolution. My previous Kodak Z8612is had VGA quality videos, and those were crystal clear, so the D1 resolution was a REAL treat.
*****VIDEO QUALITY:*****
*Quick Review*
- Video Qualities in order of size/quality:
*HD Video (1080i or 720p) - The BEST possible video formats available
Videos are recorded/played back in 1920x1080 Pixels and 1280x720 Pixels.
*D1 Video (this camcorder)- Best possible quality available on this camcorder.
*** This format IS available on this camcorder!***
Videos are recorded/played back in 720x480 Pixels.
*VGA Video(most dig. cameras)- Usual Standard Quality Video on most digital
cameras.
Videos are recorded/played back in 640x480 Pixels
*QVGA Video - This is the most basic video format available on this camcorder.
Videos are recorded/played back in 320x240 Pixels.
This camcorder had 3 video formats/resolutions available:
1st. D-1(a.k.a NTSC)
2nd. VGA
3rd. QVGA
I found the video recording/playback VERY clear and quite acceptable. Digital image stabilization IS available, but I still recommend using a tripod when recording. This camcorder does quite poorly in dim light, and the LED movie lights are nearly useless. I did thorough tests in a pitch black room using the LED lights, night shot mode, Black & White Color mode, and max exposure to get visibility of up to 10 feet.
- This camcorder does well in bright, natural/artificial light.
- You have to pan SLOWLY in order to avoid the slanty wobble if you pan too fast.
*****DIGITAL CAMERA/PICTURE QUALITY:*****
I found that the digital camera is quite decent too! It's SUPER clear! It's amazing! 8mp Pictures ARE available- though the sensor is only 3mp capable.
I recommend ONLY using the 3mp OR 5mp resolutions when taking pictures.
***** MP3 PLAYER QUALITY:*****
The mp3 player feature IS fairly handy, BUT I assume everyone already has a MORE decent mp3 if not mp4 player. So I won't go into this one.
***** AUDIO/VOICE RECORDING QUALITY *****
The voice recorder feature is quite handy, and the sound quality is great.
It IS possible to pick up even fairly far away conversations with it.
Comes quite handy when recording lectures in class, it still picks up my professor's voice even when I sit in the back (it's a small classroom, there's only roughly 50 people in my class.)
Pros:
- Solid (though plastic) overall construction
- GREAT Video and Picture resolutions
- Uses AA batteries, which are readily available
- Takes SD and SDHC memory cards
- Built-in Flash for somewhat better pictures
- Built-in LED lights for dim situations
- Acceptable Macro Lens Focusing
- MP3 Player
- Built-In Speaker
- Can be used as external hard disk/memory card
- Can be used as webcam
Cons:
- Quite Horrible in Dim light/situations
- Unable to handle quick panning = slanting buildings, etc.
- LED movie lights BARELY work- only good up to 2-3 feet
- Eats up AA batteries fairly quickly
- No OPTICAL ZOOM availible
- Menu(s)are kind of hard to navigate
Thanks everyone!

works great. seller was very helpful
I like that it is compact and i can take it anywhere without taking up a whole two feet of space. it works on AA batteries where if i run out i don't have to charge it, i can just replace the batteries on the go. I decided to buy it because my son is growing way too fast and i want to capture every moment i can and the camera is small enough where i can take it anywhere even with the case i got for it. It was worth the price.Read full review...

Aiptek IS_DV2.4
I purchased this camera for my son for Christmas. The reviews I read were some good, some not so good, so I was a little skeptical but the price was right for his age. He LOVES the camera and I couldn't be happier. For the price that I paid, I am very pleased with this product.
(We did have to purchase additional memory cards which is common for most cameras.)Read full review...
The DV2.4 is very nice for the money!
I can't really see anything negative about this camcorder/camera! It's easy to set and format.Takes nice photos and videos. I haven't tried the mp3 player yet so can't comment about that. Has a nice 2.4" viewing screen. In short, a very good value for the money!Read full review...
This was well worth the money
This is a small digital camera that works great. The only problem was I did not have the software to convert digital file to dvd, but the software is avalible.
