We were shocked , shocked ! when Aiptek rolled out a$299 720p GO - HD camcorderlast May , but now the ship’s company ’s topped that pinnacle of cheapness with the Aiptek 720p A - HD camcorder , a stripped - down version of its piece - of - shit brandmate , rolling in at a John Rock - bottom $ 169.99 .

The company ’s fill out the optical soar and substituted a 4x digital zoom ( which to us does n’t even count as a rapid climb at all ) , but kept that inexplicable 2.4 - inch 4×3 LCD viewscreen , apparently too cheap to actually put up the widescreen 16×9 view of distinctive HD camcorders . But the affair in reality shoot in 1280×720 16×9 . Go figure . Look out for this one , add up soon to a cereal box near you . mayhap they ’ll put up it as a Cracker Jacks prize . The only thing we can see using this for would be a disposable crashcam . [ Aiptek , viaDigital Camcorder News ]
