Quick opening & first use of a Nexxtech 3303003A microphone I picked up at The Source (Canada's Circuit City) for plus 3-year warranty. If the video wabbles at all, thats because I forgot to turn off electronic image stabilization but I think rendering took care of that. The video sections that get small in resolution were done on my JVC Everio in 480p, while the rest was on my Kodak Zi8 in 720p

This Aiptek camcorder has a few interesting features, including an external microphone jack and the ability to act as an MP3 player(!), but ultimately its video quality is only mediocre compared to other low-budget, pocket-sized HD camcorders, such as the Kodak Zi8. The image sensor has surprisingly little rolling shutter effect and the lens has a macro mode for close-ups, but the low light sensitivity is only fair, the digital zoom is slow and jerky, and the audio quality is poor, even with an external mic. And the advertised "Hi-Speed HD" capability just means it can record 60 frames per second at 720P resolution -- the same as almost any other low-budget HD camcorder currently on the market.
