Following on from their AHD Z500 Plus HD camcorder, Aiptek have just release a new, budget HD camcorder – namely the Aiptek AHD 300 – which, apart from offering video capture at full 1080p HD (1440×1080) resolution at 30fps also comes with 720p 60fps high speed capture mode and integrated stills camera, voice recorder and portable media player functionalities – all at an impressively low price point.
Utilising SDHC memory cards for storage (the AHD 300 comes with a mere 128MB of internal storage capacity) which offer up to eight hours of 1080p footage to be captured when using a 32GB capacity card, the 120 x 73 x 34mm Aiptek AHD 300 also offers 8MP still capture capabilities complete with (an admittedly not in the least impressive) 4x digital zoom and, of course, should you wish to create video content for uploading to video sharing sites such as YouTube you’ll find that you’re fully catered for with a separate ‘Web’ mode being available.
Aiptek PocketDV AHD 300 1080p HD Camcorder Features:
- Advanced HD PocketDV with 1080p high definition resolution (1440 x 1080 pixels, 16:9)
- Recording 1 hour 1080p high definition movie with one 4GB SD card, the best storage
- performance among HD DVs
- Up to 8 Mega-pixels still images
- Support HDTV and standard TV
- 128MB internal Memory plus SDHC card slot for up to 32GB SD/SDHC cards
- Easy power charge from PC/Notebook by USB cable or by AC adapter
Agreed, the specifications are not exactly heart-stopping but when you factor in that the Aiptek AHD 300 will set you back a mere £130 (roughly $250) then there’s little doubt that the AHD 300 becomes an altogether more interesting proposition.

[...] Camescope Aiptek AHD 300 ou la haute résolution 1080p sans se ruiner Le dernier camescope HD d’Aiptek que nous vous avons présenté était capable d’enregistrer en 720p pour seulement 170$. Mais la technologie n’attend pas et Aiptek nous sort un modèle qui enregistre en 1080p. Le camescope de poche AHD 300 est capable de gérer 30 images par seconde à cette résolution, mais si vous préférez les hautes vitesses vous aurez la possibilité de filmer en 60 i/s à 720p. Une heure de vidéo haute définition 1080p peut tenir sur une carte SD de 4Go (deux heures en 720p). Il accepte les cartes SDHC, permet des images fixes à 8 Mégapixels de résolution et possède un zoom numérique 4x ainsi que des fonctions de reproduction de musique. Pas mal pour seulement 250$.

[...] La nueva cámara de Aiptek (una empresa de electrónica taiwanesa) demuestra que la tecnología puede ser asequible y de buena calidad con esta cámara-filmadora digital, que graba en alta definición (1080p FULL). Puede meter 1 hora de grabación en HD en una tarjeta SD de 4GB, tiene zoom digital de 4x y funciones de reproducción de media también. La AHD 300 filma a 30 frames por segundo a máxima calidad, pero si la bajamos a 720p puede llegar hasta los 60 fps por segundo. No está nada mal por los 250 dólares que vale: el precio es parecido al de muchas cámaras y filmadoras digitales baratas que cada vez están más de moda. ¿Cómo? ¿No tenés una? Andá ya corriendo al negocio de electrónica más cercano y pedile al vendedor una de estas. El único problema es que no las debe vender tan económicas, ¿no? [Aiptek - Nexus404] [...]
[...] Aiptek’s last HD camcorder we showed you did 720p recording for a budget $170. But time and technology waits for no man, so Aiptek’s newest cam now records at 1080p. The AHD 300 actually manages 30 frames per second at this resolution, but if you’re into slightly high-speed filming, it can even stretch to 60 fps if you drop the resolution to 720p. It can squeeze an hour of 1080p footage onto a 4GB SD card, accepts SDHC, shoots 8-megapixel stills and has 4x digital zoom and media player functions too. Not bad for just $250. [TFTS] [...]
