All right, so I'd been looking for a better camera than my old one for months, but every time I looked at one, there was some big flaw with it that was a deal breaker to me, such as, It was to expensive, only recorded in 720p and 30 frames per second. (Which is the lowest form of HD in existence. Anyway, I looked at this one and OHMIGOSH! It had everything the $500 camcorders had. It has
1080p at 30 frames per second
720p at 60 frames per second for action shots
It has a place to put an external mic
It has a 5x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom
It has video stabilization
It has a good battery life
It works with wondows
And it's only $164!
It doesn't get a whole lot better than that anyway, but for just 164 bucks that's awesome.
So when I got it, I immediately started filming, and it was great. There are only to problems I can see with this camera. First off, Windows will accept the videos it shoots but Windows Movie Maker wont, as WMM doesn't take the .mov format. So, I suggest getting a new edting software if yours won't take .mov. Personally I like Pinnacle Studios 11, which will take the HD format.
Overall a great camera. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
great buy

I love video camera with 1080p HD Great and can work upload for youtube or facebook has policy limit under 1GB and 10 minute use 720p is best if you can use 1080p is waste mb be limit less minute. Aiptek Action come with SD memory is not incloude and you have to buy up to 32 GB max and picture 5 Mp with flash incloude. battery charge has both wall plug or usb also download movie and picture on your computer. CD software is only have windows xp and vista driver too letest do not have windows 7 but i was try to software with windows 7 will work well.
Passing on this one

Reviewer: James M. Simmons,
I ordered an Action-HD GVS 1080P which arrived today. While I was charging the battery I read the instruction manual and was surprised to read there is no image stabilization when recording in HD 1080p. This is not mentioned on the Aiptek Products page at all. Saying that I do see this mentioned on the Amazon web page. If I would have known the "gyroscopic stabilization" is only available when recording at 720p I would not have ordered this camcorder. Seems the Amazon product description is better than that of the manufactures web page. Kudos to Amazon boo hiss to Aiptek.
After the unit was charged I made a few short videos in the environment I would use this camcorder in, that is, inside the house recording my wife and children. First off the sound is absolutely horrid with a whine that is not acceptable. I also noted a few burnt pixels during playback. I took the battery out and replaced it thinking that might correct the problem but it's still there when I recorded some more video. Picture quality is much poorer than my Canon miniDV camcorder (non HD) which really surprises me. Yes, this video camera shoots in HD dimensions, but has very poor picture quality at 1080p. The video is very grainy and the auto-focus does not work unless you hold the camera very still. If you plan on recording your children at play indoors find another camcorder.
Half the reviews say this camcorder is not worth the effort while the other half say it's the best camcorder they have ever used. Maybe I got a bum unit, but as it stands, I give this camcorder a half star out of five. Within 3 hours of being out of the box it's back in the box ready to go back to Amazon.
As an aside I never got the software on the included CD to install on my computer (WinXP) nor my wife's computer (Vista) either.
Pretty poor video

I bought this to use on my recumbent trike to make videos of my rides. The videos this device makes have a swimming or underwater effet to them. As the camera recordes the moving image instead of it being a normal looking image the image seems to flow and move at different times - I assume this is due to the camera not being able to process the data fast enough. I consider this camera to be completely useless and wish I could return it.
No video reviews found for this product.
I Love this Camera!
