Product Description
The Pocket DV4500 is the first AIPTEK digital camcorder employing MPEG4 format to store video clips. The DV4500 is capable of recording much longer (3 times) than traditional AVI format devices. An additional advantage of MPEG4, is to keep your recorded files small while retaining video and sound in TV-quality. Being a multi-function camera, the Pocket DV4500 is an indispensable companion for you to create and enjoy movies, high-resolution photos, MP3 music, voice annotation, as well as online video conferencing.

Best Buy.......2006-11-22

This little camcorder is a great piece of eqipment! The video quality definately isn't the best, but it is good for the price. It holds many still pictures, which are great, and you can use the flash strobe. Videos, however, must be shot in a well lit area, because it doesn't work well in low light situations. Another thing... the support is EXCELLENT. I dropped this camcorder a few times(on accident) and the small front piece broke off. I could have easily put it back on, but I kind of lost it... Anyways, I went on aiptek.com, emailed the support center and told them what happened, by the next week they sent me the new piece free! This camcorder is perfect for beginners.

This items has a lot of good features, but the biggest problem is that the video and camera in poor lightning is very poor. It needs more flash and spot light.

Having some fun with this mpeg recorder.......2004-07-20

Currently I have a Canon Powershot 230 Elph, which I am very happy with. However the 3 minute videos it captures are not in an mpeg format that I could email or playback without Canon's software.

Picked this DV4500 up for $120. and have found it very easy to use. Records mpegs, which are not the greatest quality, but very good for the price paid for it. Small and light enough to carry anywhere, about the size of the Elph camera 2" x 4". Using it to record and keep on a CD my 3 1/2 yr. old daughter singing songs and dancing, just family things that I can email to relatives...easier and better than sending cards. Think you will be happy with it if you are just looking for an inexpensive, convenient mpeg recorder. Heard Best Buy stopped selling it because it was cutting into their high-end priced video camera sales.

Great Little Thing.......2004-06-30

This is a great little camra. it doesnt hold much Video but takes Great still Pics. The camra can hold a lot of still pics and the come out looking great. Ever since i got this i have not taken it out of my pocket. It is a very usfull litlle thing if you like taking quick pics.
It may be great to use but the soft wear is not great. But i am happy with what i got and i think if you like taking pics buy this camra.

As of this date (June 2004) the Windows XP USB drivers (updated version 1.1 from the Aiptek web site) for this camera seem troublesome. The Aiptek web site does not offer useful troubleshooting for this relatively new model as of yet. Do not buy this newly released camera at this point.
