It is possible that some low-light situations. This documentary will be on DVD and Internet, and the documentary has to be of good quality. We are thinking of buying professional video camera. Any ideas? Thanks!

Epson Printers are Excellent

by J. Becker from Colorado on 2009-10-14
I have had my Epson R2400 printer for four years & using the pigment ink cartridges for it. The print quality is excellent. I have had no problems with the printer or cartridges. I also have an R200 that I speak highly of as well. I use it to print on cd's & dvd's. Very easy to use & beautiful results. I highly recommend the Epson printers.

Too many photos are ruined due to camera shake, especially those in
low light conditions due to the delayed shutter speeds. Tripods are the typical
solution, but when you don't feel like lugging a tripod with you everywhere you
go, or the shooting situation doesn't allow for a tripod to be used the
Pocket-Pod is your solution. Photos will be razor sharp every time! Pocket Pod is a versatile camera "bean" bag which allows you to capture rock-steady shots with your digital, film or video camera on just about any surface. Key features:   ~ 14" long fully extended   ~ 8 different compartments sewn in to keep plastic fill in place   ~ Made of durable fabric that is easy to clean   ~ Takes mere seconds to setup and adjust.   ~ Compact, flexible, & light weight - weighs 14oz (approx).   ~ Fill is made from HDPE plastic that will not deteriorate over time (unlike polystyrene fill similar camera bean bags contain)   ~ Adjustable to any height or angle to accommodate any situation you may run into while in the field shooting   ~ Provides a solid shooting surface to eliminate camera shake that handheld photography produces   ~ When not in use- wrap it around a spare lens to provide added protection in your camera bag  

Features

  • different compartments keeps plastic fill in place, also makes the pod fully adjustable
  • Made of durable fabric that is easy to clean

Expensive printer takes expensive cartridges

by S. Russo from San Francisco, CA on 2010-08-15
I'm always pleased to be able to buy these Epson ink cartridges at Amazon. They are VERY hard to find in retail stores now. We are stuck with this huge Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer and the ink looks nice printed- but the cartridges run out FAST. Seems like I'm buying a new color at least every other week and we don't use the printer much.


Buying Epson Inks at Amazon

by John Barnes from on 2009-11-23
Getting quality inkjet prints is not a cheap proposition. Amazon.com makes life a lot easier by letting us link up with providers who sell these things at a reasonable price with quick delivery. Kudos to Amazon and Adorama.


Decent Ink

by Frances from Boston on 2009-05-15
I have had a lot of luck with this ink for my Epson 2400 printer even though the printer is no longer manufactured.


K3 Rocks

by Clem S. Mckown from PA USA on 2007-05-17
I use the Epson K3 inkset with an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 and Moab Entrada N paper. This paper is a matt fine art paper. Source printing is from Photoshop from both digital capture and scanned slides and negatives.

I am entirely satisfied with the results of this combination. Color prints are realistic, saturated and true. B&W prints are neutral & beautiful. Like darkroom (without the dark).

Great for a little bit

by Karen Courtright from on 2010-08-01
It seemed to be a steal for the $199.99 price, but at $299.99 it's on the verge of being a rip-off. Look around before you buy.


I love this little camera

by E. Elizondo from on 2010-07-11
I got this on sale for $200.00 during Aiptek's Memorial Day promotion. Definitely a great buy for that price.
Pro's:
-Ease of use
-Great low light sensitivity
-Great optics
-Compact size
-Mini HDMI to HDMI connectivty to HDTV
-Aiptek's tech support is superb (First camera I had was glitchy but Aiptek actually tested a new one and replaced it)
-Ext Mic Jack
-Pause recording feature
-Still camera mode w/ "burst" feature (snaps 10 pics in a row, even if you are recording video)
-Excellent quality video w/ little or no distortion.

Con's:
-Ergonomics. Hard to get to the thumb controls unless you strap it to your fingers and not your palm
-Sound quality is a bit "tinny" but a good external mic takes care of that (This mic really works well with the camera... GE 98950 Detachable Desktop Microphone)
-Battery life is less than what Aiptek states (can get some extra batteries and charger for cheap here on Amazon)
-Still picures with telephoto and low light a bit blurry unless you keep camera really really still.
-Ext Mic records in mono- and not stereo (but overall sound seems better with ext mic)
-Built-in stereo mic on back of view screen. If you flip it, the mic points the wrong way. (Ext mic solves that problem)
-Questionable quality. Although my first camera was "glitchy" (see above) my replacment has worked well. Camera body is "plasticky" but parts fit together well.
-CMOS sensor, not CCD.

Overall, happy with this "go anywhere" camera, now called the AHD-H12 Extreme. At $200.00, it's a steal if you can find it.


Good camera for the price

by Fen from on 2010-07-01
I bought this camera in May for 199.99 and for what I pay is an excellent camera but for 299.99 not so much because with a little more money you can get a Panasonic hdctm 15 or a Sanyo fh1a. The aiptek has more features but the Sanyo and the Panasonic take better video.


You get what you paid for...

by Gergely Kovacs from Texas, USA on 2010-06-07
Quite frankly, this camera takes very poor quality videos; only barely better than standard definition. But, it cost $300! If you do not have a lot of money for an HD camcorder and you need one quickly, you might be satisfied with this. Otherwise, stay away!


Nice try but no cigar.

by Robert Porter from on 2010-05-09
A lot of features for the money but both the video and still results are marginal. My Kodak Zi8 with half the megapixels gets better results by a good margin. It is an upgrade from standard definition and some people will accept the low performance because of the low price. You get what you pay for. As for me, I sent mine back and will be looking at higher priced, better video cameras.
