Aiptek Unleashes $299 720p Camcorder
Can’t afford one of those fancy widescreen Handycams? Aiptek just announced its GO-HD, a budget ($299) HD camcorder capable of recording in 720p. The flash-only cam records to high-capacity SD cards, but cuts a few corners to hit the $299 price mark.For starters the LCD is a bit small at 2.4-inches and it’s not widescreen. Likewise, the zoom isn’t so powerful—it only offers 3x optical. Luckily the GO-HD will also double as a 5-megapixel camera. As long as you don’t plan on filming your next indie premiere with this camcorder, it should be more than enough to dip your toes in HD video.

I’ve owned(owned being the operative word) an Aiptek and it was complete trash. These low end cheap as chips cameras that are coming out that claim to be 5 Mega Pixel this and 12 Mega Pixel that are just low end poor quality rubbish with NO redeeming features.
And this is yet another one.
I have got one of the New HD models. And I love it! its better than my sisters Sony that she bough for double .
