Measuring only four inches and weighing less than six ounces, the Aiptek DV 3100 is one of the most compact multi-function devices currently available. Able to take photos, record video, record voices and function as a webcam, the Aiptek DV 3100 is an inexpensive all-in-one solution. Nevertheless, even though this device is well-manufactured, its results are only average at best.

The Aiptek DV 3100--Balancing Efficiency and Versatility

In general, multi-function devices trade some of their efficiency in order to be more versatile. This means that even though the Aiptek DV 3100 offers different functions, it cannot compete with most dedicated digital items. Nevertheless, when taking into account its low price, the Aiptek DV 3100 is a useful device that is well worth its price.

Portability is this camera's main asset. Measuring less than four inches and weighing under six ounces, the Aiptek DV 3100 can fit in most pockets. Although the camera does not have an optical zoom, it has a two times digital zoom that does a relatively good job. Pictures have decent resolution but video can be a little choppy. Nevertheless, it doesn't require any tapes and the image tends to be better when it is used as a webcam.

If you are looking for high resolution pictures or video, the Aiptek DV 3100 is not for you. If on the other hand, you want an inexpensive device that can get the job done, the Aiptek DV 3100 is the perfect choice. At Digital & MP3 World, we offer an incredible selection of devices, from cheaper multi-function models to professional-quality dedicated cameras
