Summary: It's okay.
Comment: The camera and video work, but neither are the best quality. I bought it for my 17 yr old though and she loves it and uses it all the time. I guess it depends on what you are using it for. If you want good quality pics this is not the best choice in a camera.

Summary: It's Ok, but I still use it.
Comment: This is my first camera and I use it for still photos and for video. The flash drains the batteries, so try not to use it too often. The sound for the video almost sounds like talking in a can. If the camera is held very still the picture is fine. If room is slightly dark, the camera will not pick up anything in the room. The camera is handy when traveling, but is hard to hold when filming.

Summary: Nice Little Camera for the Money
Comment: The AIPTEK DV5900 seems to be a nice little camera. I have only had it for a couple of days but within minutes (without reading instructions) was using it. I would agree with other reviews of this camera that the video isn't the best. But really what do you expect with such a small inexpensive camera??? My wife and I are going to London and Paris later this year and I wanted a small camera that I could just carry in my pocket or in her purse that would take decent video and some pictures. We have a Sony Cybershot that we take most of our still pictures with anyway that works good. The Aiptek video is about equal to a VHS quality video which is exactly what the camera says on its packaging. I would say it is well worth the money if all you want is something simple and easy to carry around and take short little videos. Also it is extremely easy to transfer pictures and video from the camera to my computer. My computer has a dock that the SD card just plugs in to and WHAM there are my picture and videos on the computer. I can then just take them from there over to a video editing program.
I am a person that doesn't take lengthy videos on vacations or at holidays. I might record 30-40 minutes of footage and take lots of pictures then put them all together in a video editing program with music and put it on a DVD. (By the way Sony Vegas Movie Studio is a great program to do that) The AIPTEK seems to work just fine for that application.
Be sure to order a SD card with your camera. Hope this helped a little.

Summary: Great Product for the Price
Comment: This was a great video camera until my friend dropped it and the electric circut powering this thing was disconnected. If my friend had not dropped it, I would definetly reccomend buying it because it can take good photos and record videos, altough the resolution isn't the best, but great for the price.

Summary: Another Small Camera With Problems
Comment: I really wanted the little guy to work, but in the end, it went back. A Flip that I returned had a much better picture than this device, but couldn't get the data off of it making it useless, no matter how good the picture was. With this one, it made a clicking sounding while recording with the camcorder aspect of it. So all you heard during play back was a clicking sound along with a VERY poor picture. I didn't expect much for $85 but wasn't worth $20... Someday someone is going to come up with a little camera that works for an affordable price.
