Aiptek Action HD GVS 1080P High Definition Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom (Silver) Review

I used this camera on a recent trip to Europe. The HD video is really very nice, but even at zero zoom, the field of view is very limited. One has to stand quite far away from one's subject in order to capture a reasonable image size, way further than would be needed when using a standard digital camera or SLR with a 50mm lens, for instance. This made taking good video next to impossible. The low-light performance, as others have noted and one might expect, is fairly poor, but the daylight video and pictures are very nice. I would personally look for something with more flexibility in the way of field of view, this one is just too limited in that regard.
