Review of Mustek DV 4000

A fantastic buy

Advantages: Compact, Great picture quality, Great image processing.
Disadvantages: Doesn't take AA batteries, you have to recharge the cam's battery.

...just the right amount of contact for the cam to work. Apart from the battery cover, the rest of the cam is really sturdy, and lasted me thru 2 years of holidays and festivals. I finally broke mine at Download rock festival last year, but i was watching Korn and Slipknot at the front while getting crushed in the crowd. Overall the cam is pretty tough, but not as durable as the average mobile phone. If you buy this (which i highly recommend) Take care when removing the battery cover, and treat the cam with respect, be careful you don;t sit on it when it's in your pocket, and don;t tae it into a heavy metal concert! Overall: Amazing camera, amazing price. after getting the dv5000 to replace my broken cam, i have decided to go back to the dv4000 cause it's by far the best mustek cam i've tried....

Review of Mustek DV 4000

A mixed bag when compared with dv4000

Advantages: Price, Features, AA Baterries
Disadvantages: Picture quality is not accurate to what you see on preview screen

...I have owned both the Mustek DV-5000 and it's predecessor the Mustek DV-4000. The main difference in the 2 is that the dv5000 can take AA batteries, so you can make sure you have battery wherever you are, and also the dv5000 has a flash. When i read about the dv5000 coming out i couldn;t wait to try it, I got it about 1 week after release for £109, as it seemed to have all the features the dv4000 was missing. After replacing my broken dv4000 (the story is in my dv4000 review) with the dv5000: here is my take on the dv5000: Pros: AA Batteries - So you never run out Flash - great for night time Higher Megapixel - Better Quality Pictures Mp3 playback is good through the external speaker Cons: The image you see on the preview window, while lining up a shot is NOT what the camera actually takes. With the dv5000...
