pkluong from OK Member Since: Apr 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	I got this to replace my other Aiptek Pocket DV310 ... Strengths: Small and cheap. Weaknesses: Low resolution for some pictures. Summary: 2004-04-01 13:59:18 I got this to replace my other Aiptek Pocket DV3100 which I do like a lot. The new one is a little bit heavier than the other one (about 0.4 lbs moore), however, there are more functions. It is cheap and small. The old one uses compact flash and not compatible with this new one. Therefore, I have to buy a new SD for moore memory which cost moore than the DV itself since I want a 512 MB SD. I also checked out the Mustek 4000. The Aiptek is a little cheaper. The Mustek have the rechargable battery but no flash. Do not expect a lot for these cameras. However, with the price and the size, it is nice to have it around. 91% of People (43/47) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

happy1234 from VA Member Since: Apr 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Weeks	This is the third Aiptek product I have purchased ... Strengths: DV 4500 does everything that more expense camcorders will. It is compact and easy to use. Weaknesses: When using the flash feature for still pictures It resets the date and time back to default. Has to be set back to present date and time. Summary: This is the third Aiptek product I have purchased and all are still working. There is a problem getting any help from Aiptek Tech They maybe will answer e mail after 3 or 4 attempts. Also, on the DV 4500 that I have when using the flash Feature it will reset the date and time back to default. This is something I am accepting even though it isn't correct. 88% of People (45/51) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

big_dick from CA Member Since: Jun 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Weeks	good for the price...you get what you pay for, i r ... Strengths: moderate price, multi-funtions, 4-mega-pixel camera, compact Weaknesses: drains batteries very fast...no ac adapter or car lighter input, so you have to use batteries. also, there is some background noise and distortion when listening to music Summary: good for the price...you get what you pay for, i really like the multi-fuctionability, but it drains batteries very fast. camera and camcorder seem to work fine, installed the sofware without a problem, would recommend for the average perrson to use for fun, but not those who want professional results. 79% of People (44/56) found this review helpful.

yamaplos Member Since: Apr 2006 View Member's: Reviews	Nice multiuse, not-serious camera Strengths: I does everything - sort of. Weaknesses: If you want good movies, use a camcorder. For good pictures, a camera. Pictures are fuzzy and video has color artifacts. Summary: I love this gadget. It is fun and very useful, heaps above anything in the price range (got if for $70 at Target clearance, about $60 on Ebay March 2006). As a teacher, I bought it to take pictures of books and projects and show them to the class on a TV, which then I can erase, all in a few seconds. It worked fine for that. Sadly, maybe for storing it too roughly, the shutter button caved in. Maybe it would still have been under warranty, but I decided to see-look (nice design of the box, easy to work in), and it turns out the actual switch inside had been pulled out of the board, which makes me wonder if the design there could have been better, since it is bound to take a lot of pressure over time - I bet there's heaps of these with that part broke. I am confident I can fix it, however, and then I'll use the chance to set up a remote shutter! I am getting myself another on Ebay. I want to connect both shutters together to take stereo pictures and movies. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are 1 comment for this review.
