I'm loving it... The mic is OK, not great. The digital zoom is actually not that bad, and the operation of the camera is simple. However taking still pics is not that great, really slow shutter speed. But you get what you pay for and I wanted a inexpensive digital camcorder, which I got and works great on family outings. Oh and battery life is not that great I think I read somewhere around 30 mins. I bought a couple of extra batteries off of Amazon, like [...] a piece and an external charger to solve that problem, well worth the investment. The HD picture looks great on my HD 42" plasma TV. I think this camera is great for me. Hope this helps...

I bought this for my first trip abroad. I love that it's light wgt and intuitive to use. I bought 3 flash cards (2-4GB & 1-2GB). I took over 600 photos, 12 audio clips, and 50video clips. I changed to the next 4GB card after the 4day just to make sure I was covered. I bought an extra battery which I highly recommend because I used more than 1 battery a day. SUGGESTION: Keep the flap closed until you're ready to use the camcorder...I lost battery power the first day because I kept the flap open. After being back in the states my photos came out beautifully, and I've completely captured my trip, all without breaking the bank. I love it! If I had more money I would buy a camcorder with more zoom, but I'm happy with my camcorder and suggest it for everyone.

This Camcorder is great for the price point. The Aiptek A-HD take very nice footage outdoors with lot of light and were the high definition is really noticeable and takes really nice pictures outdoors. Indoor it preforms almost the same but needs some light to get the noticeable high definition. The one flaw I have found with this camcorder is the sound. When nothing is going on you can hear (air) noise and if your in front of the camcorder it is sometime hard to hear yourself. The rechargeable battery I can get at the most 1 hour and 30 min of recording in HD and on a 4GB memory card get 2 hours and 8 minutes of HD footage. Overall this is a very nice camcorder for the price!
