How does a HD camcorder for £125 sound?

Aiptek have just released a budget camcorder that does 720p @ 30fps for $300 but is going for around $250 on a lot of US sites...

There is a sample video here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=63XP6M5P

Thought it might be of interest to people looking for a decent quality but cheap camcorder

Quality isn't great, but for £125 it's not bad either.

True, but there are places that ship over here that are likely to stock it, bought a few things from one of them with reasonable shipping and never got any import charges.

Well, you never know... I know when I have bought things I have just paid in dollars so I got the correct exchange rate + $25 shipping. Still only £165 if they charge the RRP of $300.

TBH I am surprised they're not on the bay yet, not even the US site :eek:

Found one available for £77 with a 1gb memory card, it's the lower end model though. The one I mentioned in the OP is available for £233 from the same place with a 2gb memory card, card reader and carry case.

edit: The £77 records at 720x480 but says 720p... never mind. £233 is still cheap.

That's pretty good!
