ToaCx4 Take Two, and Action!
happyWhat was I to do?
Well, I wound up taking matters into my own hands and ordered myself a new toy.
Aiptek Action HD
Now Aiptek has a reputation for making "toy cameras" that aren't of high quality. I have owned an Aiptek Digital Camcorder in the past however, and I was pleased with it. It's true that I could go out there and hand Sony or Panasonic $800 - $1500 for a decent HD video camera, but I'm cheap! Also, I don't really care what people say about this brand or that brand very much. I'll listen to them, but in the end I judge based upon my own findings and not the findings of others. With that in mind, I knew I needed to get myself a new camcorder. I also knew that I didn't have a lot of money, so when I heard that Aiptek had a 1080p (non-standard) HD camcorder for 200 bucks I felt that it was worth looking into a little more closely. So that's exactly what I did!
I ordered it from Aiptek's web site, and picked it up at Wal-Mart on my way home from work today. I'll post some demo videos and give you a real and honest review after I charge it up. In the meantime check out what this $200 toy gives you.
