The Aiptek AHD-200 boasts an HD Widescreen (1280 x 720 720P) Camcorder and 8 Mega Pixel still camera for under £150 UK (in fact I paid Less than £120). The equivalent USA model (which looks exactly the same except for the writing on the outside of the fold in LCD screen) is the A-HD 720P which has a price of $159.99 which is a real bargain compared to the UK price.

What Does it Do?

Records HD 720P widescreen video or up to 8 Mega Pixel still shots to an SD or SDHC card. It connects to your PC and charges the onboard Li-on battery via a USB port. Charging can be through your computer or with the supplied AC adaptor. It connects to your TV with a component HD connector (NOT HDMI) or an AV connector.
Full technical specs are given at the end of this review.

Why Would You Want It?

There are several reasons why the Aiptek could appeal to you:

It is a low price way of getting HD video along with still photographs.

It is lightweight and fits in your pocket. It starts very quickly giving you a handy “point and shoot” camcorder or still camera all in one package.

At this price point and size you can ignore some of the worries and inconvenience of larger and more expensive camcorders or still cameras for certain situations.
