"Date April 2008 the Action was released, The Action and other type Hybrids are a PC based camcorder, not a Home Theater pro model. Would you preferre this scenerio. went out forgot the cam, turn around, its gone. Went out, camera fell it's is broken. A person who must have the better things in life will always look at any Economy brand a TOY, they will preferre a canon, or other High end bulky Model. The Action USA version was redesigned from its oldstyle MPVr and kept its body style as closeto the orginal as possable, always changing the color scheme. When the MPVr was relased back in April-Aug of 2005 The IS-DV was also on the market, they introduced the first/second stabilization models the release dates were promised , andcould not meet the demands and was relased in late summer, while the IS-DV hit the market in Mid summer. Still today you'll find this 50.00 camera the MPVr at 89.99- 149.99 max and the IS-DV 50.00 at 69.99-130.00 max the MPVr with orginal vid and aud issues and the perfect Is-dv without any. As Aiptek improved their design and issues the introuduced the same troubles always continueing from one model to the other the MPVr-to-the MPVR+-to PVR-to-PKDVR-to-etc.. can get lost in the duplicated and models they made, The Zoom-dv came out, first 3x optical zoom, sure to be a smash hit, offering 16:9 ratio optical zoom, 6 meg interpolated......... working their way up to the MZ-Dv andother 8 meg cams. finally they released the GO-HD, and A-HD first newcam, and new Ambrella chip. Avc-hd H264 codec. Aiptek Changed their format big time from PC world to a wanna be MAc, Quicktime world. what they did not mention that they never added the mac support to their cameras leaving out the mac usb Firmware. what a mistake they made. Only way someone found out was when purchased hooked up and called the support team. then did they offer firmware. What did they Improve from the olderversions? a quicker start up time from 7-9 secs to- 2-4 seconds. excluding multi features like photoframe, mp3, webcam, and stabilization Aiptek worked hard taken our Money offering less with better improvements. giving us a lower lux video , adding L.e.d.s improved night mode from a purple haze to a different scheme. correcting the vid and aud issue. but while all the hard work they placed in they went again a step foward andtwo steps back. they ruined the sound readjusting its gain, exchanging mic levels, and fine tuning the sensor now making day shots less sensitive causing a lower octive on the Action and A-HD+ while the GO-HD and A-HD have the better low lux in day light. will Aiptek ever get the camera right. or is it just one major company offering multiple companies to brand their label on, Aiptek, and Ranger, and other on heard of names. AIptek cameras are a great Budget Economy hybrid offering you a greaat video, it leaves many oppertunities open for projects and modifications, to the device. Simple out of the box operation affordable, and will do its job ifgiven the right scene. For 99.99-119.99 the A-HD, 119.99-149.99 the A-HD+. 199.99 for the GO-HD, and 185-199.99 for the Action. It's a great PC HYBRID CAMCORDER. for a budget. thank you"
