Hi, I bought this camera and installed the driver from both the CD and then the web. It caused my computer (a good, modern, fast computer) to crash both times. The camera worked without interfacing with the computer, but, then, what's the point? Also, the pictures and movies were VERY grainy and low quality. The tech support when I had these problems was HORRIBLE. They really didn't stand behind the product AT ALL and to me that's the most important thing! Maybe I could have gotten it to work, but not without SOME input from Aiptek.
br /I've never written one of these reviews before, but this really got to me. Don't buy this camera is my advice.

You get what you paid for!

it's a very good price, cheap we could say. And the features are kind of interesting. Cool desing and light weight too...But you can't predict how long it will last. It's avery "fragile" camera and still the software doesn't work even after downloading it from the site. I recommand to spend more and get a better camera!

I ordered the original item, used it for about a week, then sent it to my son in New Hampshire. He used it less than fifteen minutes and it locked up, never to function properly again. I ordered a replacement, checked it out and sent it on to him, with the same result -- less than 15 minutes of use, it quit working.
br /I thought the unit was nice, compact and fairly easy to use, but with two malfunctions in two cameras, I don't think I would recommend this Aiptek model to anyone.

Good for young kids
