Default $99.99 AipTek HD 720p GO-HD?

Bought it recently, and was wondering how good it really was? I luckily had the actual DECENT one, (no audio cutoffs, DOA, mic that was half decent...)

Refurbished, but I liked it.

Now wondering about stepping up to the Z500? (GO-HD = Z300). Z500 = 1080p

Yeah, they are good value for the money when I get a good working one!
If you want 1080p for serious video recording, you will recommend the Sanyo HD10101 or HD2000.

I doubt those small portable video cameras can do full HD nicely. I mean, the price tag just doesn't back it up. It might be good for small home videos but nothing more. Personally I'd either go with a decent mini DV camera or go all out and get one of those expensive legit HD camcorders.

My web design teacher has one of these:

and it's quite nice.

Well... the Z500 has a $149.99 price tag on it... it's dirt cheap...

But I've heard the compression type (so much) it causes artifacts, ect. Microphone is also sub-average ><

And darn, the GO-HD is dying already.
