Moving Pictures
You may have noticed my posting a few video's recently. I picked up a very inexpensive but High Def Aiptek A-HD video camcorder. The camera is a really nifty piece of equipment. I've had a lot of fun with it. The camcorder uses SD memory cards and can record just over 1 hour of 720p HD movies on a 2 gig card. The battery seems to hold up well. Data transfer and power is by USB cable. The camcorder also comes with a 120 volt power adapter.
It can also record off of an HD source or play back on a television with included cables. The camcorder will also capture still images in jpeg format. Image size is up to 8 mega-pixels. The camera is very easy to use and includes settings for night video/photography and for close up shots. The switch between normal and close-up settings is a little easy to switch to close up mode which has caused a few missed opportunities. The record button is on the front of the camera which can cause some camera shake as you are feeling around trying to find the button to stop recording. All in all it is a great gizmo for around $150.
