  • Intel Developer Forum, Day One: Intel Thinks Small
    This year’s Intel Developer Forum conference seems more notable for secondary technologies and what’s absent than about what’s being announced. Or, at least, that’s how it seems. On the other hand, there has been an intense focus on all things small. Read More

CeBIT 2008: Aiptek's Small Full-HD Camcorder

Next news
9:25 PM - March 4, 2008 by Siggy Moersch

Tom's Hardware took a look at Aiptek's handy Full-HD camcorder at CeBIT. The small video camera records up to 8 hours of material at 1080p and comes with a moderate $380 (€250) price tag.

The light camcorder weighs only 177 grams (without battery) and possesses a 3x optical zoom. Its CMOS image sensor uses a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. HD material is recorded in 1080p and 16:9 format, while standard definition recordings are limited to a 4:3 aspect ratio. SDHC cards with up to 32 GB are the storage medium of choice. Only 32 MB of storage are built into the device - only enough for a few snapshots, but not for HD-videos.

(Compare Prices on Aiptek Camcorders)

Aiptek uses an AVC/H.264 video codec, which allows recording times of up to 15 minutes per GB. Using a 32 GB SDHC card, that would give you 8 hours of recording time. Although $380 (€250) is comparatively affordable for a Full-HD camcorder, don't forget to factor in the price for an SDHC medium. At around $230 (€150), SDHC cards of this size are still rather expensive.

A handy pocket-sized high-definition camcorder.

Aiptek's PocketDV AHD Z500 sports a swiveling 2.4" LC display, an HD-compliant output and can be attached to HD or SD TV sets using an adapter cable.
