WHY take still snaps when you can remember your summer holiday with video. And when you can film away for just £199, then you'll have more cash leftover to spend on sun, sea and sangria.


The AIPTEK DV8900 is available now and has a five megapixel resolution and 4x zoom as well as night shot mode. Unfortunately, it'll only hold five minutes of good quality footage on the onboard memory but this is easily upgradeable to 2GB with a cheap storage card. There's also a built-in speaker for playing music through it and a 15 channel equaliser while it can also be used as a webcam with 30 frames per second. Add to that an microphone, remote control and an obvious ability to take static shots too and away you go.
