Pros Small size. Good ergonomics. Screen on back. Still photos. Compact tapes & batteries. Cons Expensive. MicroMV format may or may not equal MiniDV. Lens could be more wide-angle. Recommended it? Yes I wound up buying the new DCR-IP220 just before leaving for a vacation that included a few days visiting historical sites in the gloomy midwestern U.S. (Missouri and Illinois), and a week on sunny Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

No Way! byrbinck Mar 20, 2010 12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Pros Small and inexpensive. Cons So lightweight can be hard to take steady videos without a tripod. Recommended it? Yes Yes way! Introduction Every now and then you run across a product that you think just couldn't possibly be as advertised. When I read about the Aiptek HD camcorders I thought how in the world could this be a serious camcorder. So looking first at the 720p version it was...

Pros Simple Setup, Excellent Picture Quality, Image Stabilization Cons Poor Sound, Bad in Low Light Recommended it? Yes After some heavy web surfing, viewing of samples via YouTube clips on the web I finely took the plunge and ordered this little bugger. Now that I’ve had it for a while to try out I can give it a good recommendation, if you’re looking for an inexpensive video camera that is. Read full review » Read All Reviews »
