Here are some anaglyph stills I found that were taken with the I2 ("3D HD Camcorder i2" according to the literature) http://www.flickr.com/photos/tanj3d/
Here is a file directly from the camera http://www.sendspace.com/file/gee42j
I was using a Patriot Class 10 SDHC, I have a Sandisk Extreme iii class 10 (30 mbps) coming soon I will try in it.
Keep in mind the clip was recorded using a tripod, if you don't like tripods or monopods you're not going to like this camera.
If you're on the fence about buying one, I say wait 6 months. I'm sure the price will drop sometime after Christmas.

hmm I wonder if the faster SDHC will have an impact on the frame rate.

why? can you provide a clip where you move the camera around without a tripod?

also, is it possible to decrease the resolution in the settings? maybe that'll help the frame rate.

Thanks for uploading some raw footage. I will be honest, it looks really pixelated and choppy. For some reason though I still want to get one to try it out for myself. Might be good enough for YouTube. Plus I could probably sell it pretty easy if I don't like it.

Yuri - no idea if a better SDHC card will change anything, will report when I test
No tripod clip from the I2 http://www.sendspace.com/file/jof29m Yes that is the Acer 5738DG ;)
You can get the I2 manual here http://www.aiptek.eu/index.php?option=com_product&task=view&productid=236&Itemid=587
If you look at the manual you will see that what the user can change is pretty limited, you can change TV flicker from 50 to 60 hz
which I believe changes frame rate from 25 to 30 fps. Anyone know how to hack Aiptek firmware?

Cyber - I was the same way, I wanted to try it for myself. I do think it's good enough for You Tube (if used properly), but it isn't pro quality by any stretch of the imagination. The Fuji W3 has just been announced for September (720p video & $499 US price tag) one more thing to consider. Doing searches on You Tube for "aiptek yt3d" brings up more everyday

The shot where the father and kid are getting a drink from the drinking fountain was brillant!

And I liked the closing shot of the fountains.
:D

Thanks for sharing!

PS. I'm talking about artistic shot choices not the camera's output quality.

You know what. After seeing those latest videos I think I might have to pass on this camera. The panning shots looked horrible. The framerate is not only low, but inconsistent. You could notice it the most on the last fountain shot. Man so bad. Its really too bad because I really wanted something in the $200 range. I guess I could get that new W3 but I didn't want to spend $500. I could always just stick with my dual cam rig, which is nice quality, but just a hassle I could live without. I wish there were some more options here.

@Wheatstone - Yeah that guy has 2 good eyes!

@Cyber - I hear ya, if the I2 sells well, perhaps the 2nd Gen version will address some of it's short comings. FYI the W3 video will be full 720p for each eye @ 24 fps. I just wish the W3 had moved the flash from between the lenses, that double shadow is annoying to me.
