1. I really liked how easy it was to operate, but the HD isn't as "HD" as I thought it would be. Also, it's very difficult to hold steady.2. The zoom quit working on it 3 weeks after we got it.3. I took three movies with it the other night, and only one of them shows up on the computer. Then, when I checked the camera, it still has all three movies, but no computer I can find anywhere sees the other two movies...only the first one.4. I called and emailed AIPTEK for help - still haven't heard from them, and that was 30 days ago. I wish I would have sent it back to Amazon. It started having problems at about the 28 day point, and I figured AIPTEK would help me with it.I really wanted it to work. We're disappointed, and now I'm back to trying to work with AIPTEK.

This was purchased as a xmas gift. The general consensus so far is that the biggest downside is it needs IS (image stabilization). Small, compact, comfortable to hold, easy to operate. The screen is hard to see in bright daylight (I've never known an LCD that wasn't) and the "little blue light" is somewhat bothersome after a while. Works beautifully with the Transcend 8 gb SDHC card. We haven't tried it w/ a tripod or monopod yet but I think a monopod would help significantly. I think this is a great deal. Everything about the camera works as described in the manual - comes with a second battery too which is nice. Great value for the money even without IS.

After not even a week of using the camera, the backlight on the lcd would come on, but the camera would not start up. I'm normally a fan of Aiptek products, but after seeing that this isn't the first time this has happened to someone, never again will I buy Aiptek. Total garbage.

This is my two month experience. My reference experiences are a 12 year old Sony 8 mm tape camcorder (a pain to haul around) and a two year old Nikon 5 MP digital still camera (easy to pocket). The biggest aggravations with GO-HD are: the motor noise of auto-focus and zoom transferred to the sound; the lack of image stabilization. Lesser problems are: light level drops with zoom; reddish cast with auto white balance; poor still images. I haven't tried the HD video because of the above problems combined with the megabyte consumption. In summary, this camera promises more than it can deliver. On the other hand, it is very handy and easy to pocket. I will continue to use it for close-up, candid, less-professional situations. In retrospect, I should have purchased the less expensive Aiptek MPVR+ (which has image stabilization) and waited for HD on a better camera.

Length:: 0:52 MinsThe video quality is pretty good given the cost. It's been a nice addition to my backpack. It starts up quickly and is ready to take a photo or video at a moment's notice. The only two complaints I have is regarding the microphone and the battery. The internal microphone is terrible. If there is a lot of background noise or you're recording a loud event, there is a lot of distortion in the soundtrack. Also, I ended up upgrading the battery toone with more amperage. Since then I've had no issues with charging or battery drain while the camera is not in use. Here's a sample video from the camera. NOTE: It was shot in 720p, but Amazon re-encodes to a much lower quality.

Bent on destroying her powerful family, someone had abducted pampered Casey McKee and stashed her deep in the snowy Oregon wilds. Only one man could possibly save her: ruthless tracker Sloan Redhawk.The brooding cowboy swiftly hunted Casey down - and the headstrong heiress made the blood sing anew in his icy loner's heart. But Redhawk knew evil still stalked the mighty McKees, and Casey remained an all-too-tempting target. For a killer as well as a cowboy...Third in the Love Letters series
