 Worth the money August 19, 2005

I have this gadget for a couple of weeks now. I am using it with a 1GB card which gives me 2 1/2 hours of video recording in 640x480 mode with ones set of rechargeable batteries. I used it on the dashboard of my car, using it handheld while riding my bicycle. Yes, the resolution and frames per second is not high quality. It needs quite a bit of light. Outside on a sunny day is perfect. The faster the objects are moving the more blurrs.
But it gives family and friends a good idea of what I want to show.
MP3 worked without a flaw and the still pictures outperformed my 2 megapixel camera. Also the Webcam feature worked great. While connected to USB it gets the power from the computer. Much better picture than the Logitech Webcam I have. Too bad that the DV5900 has no optical zoom. The digital zoom just reduces the resolution. Up to 2x the resolution is acceptable.
Only 4 stars because I really want the video in better quality. But for what I got the money is right.
 Perfect for a school age person, but not for adults... January 6, 2006

I was a little dissapointed by this product, but not surprised since the cam only cost $98 at Walmart. For what it does, this is perfect for the budding videographer in your junior highschool class. It will take MPEG-4 videos, photos, and store MP-3's as well as stand in as a capable web camera. However even at the highest resolution (3 possible the highest 640-480) the film was still grainy and motion jilted. According to the manual the camera is capable of taking 5 MP photos, but when I tried I compared the lower resolution setting, to the 5 MP setting, there was no decernable difference in the photo quality, though file size did confirm the higher res.
I didn't try out the MP3 player, so I can't review that feature, but the web camera did perform actually very well.
I ended up taking it back to Walmart, a little dissapointed but not surprised given the low price. It is perfect as I said before for a younger teen to have fun with filming their friends skateboard or whatever.
Hope this helps a little...
Great little camera May 12, 2007

I bought this for my 14 year old son. He wanted a camera that also took decent video. After researching lots of brands, I purchased this small camera/camcorder (it fits in the palm of your hand). He loves it. The pictures are better than my Hp camera and he recently was in Godspell and my video camera wasn't working, so I recorded an one hour+ performance (we bought a bigger memory card)with no problem. Some of the video was blurry, but that was because I was over 100 feet from the stage and using the zoom with no tripod - but overall, great. It really is very easy to use, and takes great pictures. My son is looking forward to recording our trip to Rome this Summer with his new camera. I highly recommend this for beginners!
 Dead after four months May 20, 2007

Lots of great features, great camera for kids.... But after four months of use, this Aipek camera decided that it was done. No damage, never dropped, great condition on the exterior. But something inside is rotten. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.
 An OK camera November 14, 2006

I bought the 5900 because the price was reasonable so that I would have a little video camera ready to get different things that my great grandson would be doing. It's handier than using a regular video camera for short videos. I can take a short video and then play it back on the computer so easly. For such a little camera it has a sensitive microphone and if you want to view your movie before it's downloaded to the computer, the viewing window and the speaker work quite well.
I also bought it because my son has one that he uses with model airplanes. We have many videos of our farm and many of the neighbor's places. It's amazing how well it works for this kind of fun.
My camera is so sensitive that it will go from light to dark then back to light to dark as I move the camera to take a picture. My son's is not quite that sensitive.
Another bonus is it's ability to record sound making it great to use in a classroom if you wanted to record the lecture. It is so handy in size and will pick up the sound so clearly.
Don't buy it expecting great video. Buy it as a fun little camera that will do in a pinch. I find the still pictures taken in the outdoors come out very good and make good photos to send on the internet. I've had fun with mine.
