GO-HD 720P.......2007-11-27
well,
Just received it last night. Packaged well, as always from Amazon. The camera feels really cheap (buttons, screen, etc.)
So, i receive it, charge the batteries and shoot a sample... plug the SD card in my pc... results:
Video was ok (just ok, but it was indoor, well lit), but sound was horrible. Turns out the VLC player does't play the sound right, and with all the comments about bad sound, i figured it was just the way it was...
I later tried it on my laptop which has quicktime and it came out much better (what a relief:, but still very average )
I will have to try it more during the day, to see if it is worth anything...
my thoughts are; maybe it is 720p, but its sound quality is subpar, and build quality is cheap, then is this really such a bargain??
still not sure whether is should get a refund and dish out the extra cash for a decent HD camcorder.
Overall, pretty disapointed...
Couldn't decide whether to get the go-hd.........2007-11-26
Until I compiled the facts I have read for years. Aiptek triggered a brand name a relative carried around with him in a tractor trailer. duct tape held the battery in, the vidoes came out as ASF format, and I remembered how tough it was for 30 bucks and a gazillion functions. Exactly what I was searching for but lets face it, hd is not a privelage, it is to get any realistic quality video and sound to look back upon.Of course i am the type to turn video from a hp photosmart into "How did you do that" , but hey, hd is hd and must meet the claim, else it is errored. Upon searching amazon for "HD" the aiptek price is standing out like the 87 subaru of astonishing automobiles.Support exists for returns, I do not hesitate to recommend it and will get one with good and bad like all electronics.
I may have gotten a newer model aiptek hd 720p 8mp.......2007-11-16
Correction, I actually have an Aiptek A-HD. Mine does have a zoom, but I believe it is a 2x digital--which would explain the difference in price from this unit that has a 3x optical.
The local store had this on sale from $150 to $120, so I decided to look it up on Amazon for reviews on my mobile device right before I went into the store to buy. These reviews seems to be the best description for my unit, so I decide to get it to try for an upcoming trip.
I have already seen several difference in my unit. If anyone is interested on the feature differences to this one, the following are the obvious ones.
(note, the Aiptek A-hd has 2x digital zoom, and not 3x optical zoom--there is a big difference.)
The plastic and light construction gives is more of a "toy" feel than a real electronic equipment.
However ....
My unit seemed to have a very inexpensive / last minute lense cap thrown in. It looks like a simple bottle cap with a little tie string--but, it seems to work, and it is definately better than nothing.
On my first charge, I plugged it in overnight, and after reading some other reviewers, I was hoping to get 20 minutes of recording time. I simply left it on and pointed it my living room right before I went to sleep. To my surpise, the next morning, the 2gig SD memory card was full with about 1:05 hrs of video, and the battery still seems to have all 3/3 bars. (I doubt it was really 3/3; however, it was able to record for more than 20 minutes on a single charge). (The manuals lists 90 minutes of recording time per charge).
My unit had an option for 8Megs for still pictures, and the 720p picture was much better than my ancient regular camcorder.
I'm hoping to take this snowboarding with me, and for the inexpensive cost (relative to the regular price of $150.) I feel slightly less worried about damaging it.
I have seen pictures out of my friends Sony HD camcorder which is amazing (at 1080i/p), and I believe provides better pictures than this unit; however, I find it more difficult to carry around such expensive electronics up in ski areas.
For the cost and the quality, it has a good fit with my normal outdoor gear.
Very Cheap HD camcorder - in every sense of the word.......2007-11-07
PRO:
- It genuinely shoots 720p/30fps HD video, as well as standard DVD quality 720x480 and YouTube-quality 352x240, including audio for $221 at time of purchase
- Shoots HD in MP4's h.264 .MOV format, so can be easily edited on both Macs and Windows PCs
- Records onto Secure Disc cards, same as many digital still cameras, PDAs and mobile phones
- Built-in "color balance" (low-wattage) light and "night mode" useful for indoor/night shooting
- Up to 5Mpx stills including built-in flash (doubles as color balance light)
- Selection of white balance settings as well as simple "movie effects" (b&w, sepiatone "old movie")
- Autofocus and 3x optical zoom
CON:
- Clumsy form factor makes holding for still or video shooting difficult
- NO image stabilization!!! - and given the form factor, you desperately need it
- Video tends towards "jaggies", artificial-looking colors and other artifacts
- Bottom curved so you can't set camcorder on flat surface while shooting
- No manual override or "focus set" for autofocus, and slow refocusing especially when using zoom
- No manual override for auto iris, resulting in frequent "flashes" when iris resets light levels
- 4x3 format LCD viewfinder only, not 16x9 - no optical viewfinder
- Proprietary LiIon battery packs with less than 1 hr. battery life
- No lens covering of any type
CONCLUSION:
Aiptek's GO-HD certainly shouldn't be your main choice for a HD camcorder, and the lack of image stabilization hurts a lot - but its ability to shoot 720p HD for 200 bucks and change makes it a great cheap grab 'n' go camcorder, or a holiday gift for a child who wants to shoot video but isn't careful with her/his toys
Excellent quality for the price.......2007-11-06
You can't beat the price of the GO-HD for the quality of the picture and ease of use. One caution, the video quality is dependent on how good a PC you have so don't try and view the video on an old pc it will be choppy or not play. I give the GO-HD five stars for price and the simple ability to put it in your pocket and whip it out when you need it. Try that with a big HD camera! I don't think you can go wrong with the go-hd but remember to have a fast pc. Oh, and also, make sure you have a fast SD card. If you have the right equipment you'll be amazed.
