This was my perfect easter preasent a mustek digital video camera.It is very small and compact it measures 82x33x62mm,belive it,it is very small! The video camera only last around thirty minutes but is very good quality.It is not a camera or video camera to be used were there is no natural light.{I got very dark pictures from shotting in a pub} The camera is fantastic,very easy to use. it has a pull out screen which you just line up and press a button,it holds the picture for five seconds after so you can view it.You can alter the settings for tacking pictures in the dark but it dont make much differance.It is also a mp3 player but iv not done anything with that department yet{will edit when i do}. The control pannel is very easy to use with big buttons that just make it simple.By pressing the function button it will list all avalible functions and you just leave it on the one you want.This camera has a zoom in and out ,you can also press display and it will put a grid on the camera screen so you dont chop any heads off pictures,then it just a case of pressing the large silver button located on the top of the camera to take the photo. To view the photo you just press the play button then the curser keys to go back over the pictures you have allready took ,if you press display while on this option it will display smaller images of the photos. You have three differant settings of quality on this camera just by pressing the up curser key to change the setting as it depends on the card you have in the camera,My camera can hold sixty nine very good quality,iv not looked much at the other settings as i only want to take good quality pictures. You can also use the camera to recored voice messages,by pessing the function button till you get to dvr mode then press the shutter button to stop and start recording. All functions have on screen displays which are simple icons which tell you what settings your using.
To transfer your pictures to your pc could not be any easier. Insert the usb lead to the camera and to you pc,This then gives you an extra option in your computer section on mine it comes up as F,in there is all the photos then just cut and paste to the folder of your choice.
Iv enjoyed using this camera,i will edit my review as i continue to use the camera.I can only find one fault with this camera,Having no flash makes this camera useless if you want to take to a party ,but it is great for outdoors. Iv only had this camera to take photos of my children so it is cheaper than a 35mm. The camera comes totally compleate with software and leads even a little tripod. My husband paid £189.99 for this camera,
The camera it self has many options. One of them is a timer so you never miss a picture. Digital effect this option offers you setting of sepia,band white and mosaic.Iv not tried any of these yet.
The battery is li-ion,which just charges up either while pluged into your pc or with the adapter. Im still waiting for my battery to go flat to give it a good charge iv had the camera on a lot and still no low battery signs yet .
