Aiptek A-HD Handheld Camcorder shoots 720-lines of H.264 videoDigital Camcorder News has the scoop on Aiptek’s new A-HD model, an el-cheapo compact palmcorder with 4x zoom that shoots 720P H.264 to SD multimedia cards. Does it capture high quality images? Probably not, though it may look decent enough for web and standard def applications. Is it cheap? Heck yes, a mere $170. You can buy it direct from the mfr online. It’s big brother, the GO-HD, is also available at Amazon and B&H.

“The Aiptek A-HD still features the same 5 megapixel CMOS sensor, 2.4″ LCD, and memory slot good for up to 8GB of storage. Footage is recorded as .MOV files in the H.264 codec. Your video can be displayed on your HDTV via component outputs.”

    I think cameras like this are very cool, and may not have the best video quality, but for the “quick and dirty” shoot headed for YouTube, it’s perfect.

    I just wish they’d start putting mic inputs on these things…
