While In Redmond
Lots of cool stuff took place last week while I was in Redmond, which I’ll be posting throughout this week.
I also got a chance to put the newest addition to the official Funcave utility belt, the Aiptek A-HD camcorder, through its paces.
Remember how I said I was in the hunt for a converged digital camera/camcorder that wouldn’t break the bank, and was available. Well, this Aiptek model certainly fits the bill.
I’ll be posting a more in-depth review of the A-HD later, including example footage shot with it, and a full-on rating.
But here are a couple of quick teaser stats…
- Captures high-definition video at 30 frames per second
- Captures 8 megapixel still pictures
- Uses MMC or SD memory, including SDHC
- Saves up to 4 hours of high-definition video on a single 8GB SDHC card
- Available for $130
Nearly everyone who saw it last week was jotting down the make and model, saying I am ordering one of those tomorrow!
There’s only one thing I wish was different about mine…
Totally digging that red version. And here in Crimson Tide country, choice of color is a big.damn.deal sometimes.

Ditto here. I had some reservations about getting the handheld camcorder because I interview people all the time and you gotta admit, it looks like a damn gun.
The sound sucks, but, much better than a digital camera thats 3x the cost.
I got one for the baby on the way, so we can get HD video without breaking out the camcorder or having the whole production going for quick videos. I gotta say, for that, it rocks.
