I am all for the new type of flash based camcorders as a big market exists.
A great idea for a few basis features that an average person will use 99.9999% of the time.
Where Aiptek loses out is in Quality Control. The form factor is good, although I’m worired over teh longevity of the unit, feels too delicate.
This particular unit I had ordered had a pronounced bluish tint to the video, even in broad daylight. Seemed like i was using a permanent blue filter over the lens.
Bottom line, I would still pay an extra 300-400 just for the quality control and ruggedness of more established name brabds even though I will not use more than 5% of the available feature set.
Hope this helps.

1st I want to say THANK YOU Amazon.com for having a really good customer service.
Why I started this review with thanking Amazon, it’s simply for them caring for their customers.
They saved me from my defective product and backed it up with a fast transaction to replace it. All this happened within 4 days.
I know your looking for a review on the product, but I had to give Amazon.com praise 1st, THANK YOU!
For the Aiptek HD GVS1080p, it works as shown on sites with sample videos (be sure to check it out). My first problem with it was low lighting, but after being replaced because of defectiveness, it worked well. Don’t think it does a perfect low light capture, it’s just good enough for what the cam can do. In the other hand, day time filming was EXCELLENT, and I mean clear and perfect for 1080p quality. You won’t find a mini camcorder that uses an SD card that expands to 32GB and has a rechargeable battery. The FLIP and Creative products, were choices for me as well, but the storage lost it for me. If you’d like to see samples of video, check out my You Tube page “Cjaysimag3″.
*** The 3 stars – Because the 1st purchase was a defect, but replacement made up for it.
If that didn’t help with decision making… JUST TAKE THIS WITH YOU… DO NOT ORDER FROM A PLACE WHERE YOU WON’T GET GREAT SERVICE FOR REPLACEMENTS OR REFUNDS. KNOW I told the truth regarding Amazon.com
THANK YOU, ONCE AGAIN AMAZON!!!
Good luck All…!

This camera has a blue tinted lense which makes everything come out with a blue tint in the recordings.
It has a mic input, but it’s rubbish. You hear a high pitch shrill in both the external mic, and internal mic modes.
It’s iris settings are useless at certain resolutions.
They took away the ability to use external audio. Doesen’t really matter since the other cameras have it, but you have to run an external video into them as well to get it to work. (poorly, I might add.)
This camera lacks even the ext a/v. A trade of to get the ext mic, I suppose.
The SD card slot is difficult to get the card in, and out of. There’s a cover plate for the jacks that’s hard to open.
At least this camera doeen’t do that swimmy zoomy thing all their other cameras do whenever your talent moves their hand in front of their face, or something goes by the camera.
I was really let down by this camera.
I wish these manufacturers would get the message that we need cameras that provide true external audio input, xlr mic inputs, and we need to be able to do that without having to run ext video as well to get it to work. We need to be able to use the camera’s onboard video with external a/v so we don’t have to use the crummy built in mic, which by the way is so hissy it’s pethetic.

great for the price. Don’t expect the HD quality to be as good as the $500+ camcorders but this one is small and will do the job. Perfect for point and shoot to share on youtube or tv. The audio gain is kind of high so the sound might sound distorted in a loud area. Overall i am very pleased.
