I Mustek more pictures!

Advantages: size and features
Disadvantages: blurry images in video mode when you move the camera

...Ciao have got the best price for this neat little device spot on. I ordered mine from Directfrom.com for £86.88 on 28/11/04 as a Christmas present for my 13 year old daughter. The order was confirmed by email immediately with a 1 ? 3 day delivery time. You do need to be aware, however, that Directfrom send via Amtrak so if you?re not at home to sign for the package then you have to go to the nearest Amtrak depot to pick it up! The box is about 6 x 4.5 x 3.5 inches which worried me as I was expecting a small, hand held device, but, never fear ? you will not believe how small the camera is when you open the box!!! It is smaller than my Fuji Finepix 2600. ?So what?? I hear you ask. Well the Fuji takes 2.1 megapixel photos (or lower resolution if you need to save memory space for more photos). The Mustek has the following...

Review of Mustek DV 5000

You Mustek buy this one!

Advantages: Nice Size Screen, good price, lots of the parts made by Sony
Disadvantages: sound play back can be below avg on some dvd's

...I have owned my Mustek PL-207 for 3 months now, I paid only $220 dollars in the U.S.A. and that was with a free film working out to around 105 pounds. Prices have come down now in the UK so you can pick this amazing bargain up for around 30 pounds more than I paid and although this machine is far from perfect it's the best bit of kit on the market for the price and can whole heartedly recommend it!. Starting with the picture; I found it surprisingly good, I compared it with Panasonic and Goodmans models and it held its own against the Panasonic and beat the Goodmans hands down. The picture is crisp with good color saturation and only the bare minimum of ray trace. The Sound was a mixed bag and I found it to be clear with good stereo output but tended to play the back ground score at a far greater level to the vocal sounds which...

Mustek magic

Advantages: good quality, fast, cheap
Disadvantages: very average software, high resolution causes system crashes

...Mustek 600 CPs scanners are a very good buy. I bought mine for less than £30 and it was worth every penny. The scan quality is excellent and it is fast and easy to use. It scans photos and postcards very, very well but it tends to struggle with magazines and newspapers which reflects the quality of these publications. It takes typically two to three minutes to scan a photograph in 600 dpi. This quality setting gives crystal clear scans at the same size as the source but when a bigger bitmap is required it may need a higher quality setting which can cause crashes. You would be well advised to simply download the drivers from Mustek.com rather than use the software CD, as the scans work better and you can choose to use only Paint Shop Pro or similar for your image editing. Beware users of Windows ME and 2000, the CD software doesn...

Portable DVD player AHOY

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to use
Disadvantages: None really

...I first came across Portable DVD players on a trip to Thailand and i was very tempted to get one however the cost didn't seem worth it. However i've been glads to see that the price of them in the UK have fallen dramatically so therefore i chose to snap one up. I chose the Mustek MP 70 D as it seemed like a good buy at just under £150 and it was a brand i was familiar with as they make scanners. The great thing about portable DVD players is that it can keep you occupied on a long trip. Since it has an integrated screen,it is no surprise they are becoming very popular-especially when you consider that DVD films are so cheap to buy nowadays with prices starting from around £1!!. ------------------- Personal Use ----------- I generally use my portable DVD player when i go on train trips as i travel quite a lot. I usually charge...

Review of Mustek MP 70 D

Mus-tek back to the shops!

Advantages: Low price considering features offered, good quality video playback
Disadvantages: Only has 32MB integrated memory (can be upgraded though), features lack quality

...*The Intro* The Mustek PVR A1 caught my eye whilst I was browsing some mp3 players online. Not only did it have a very low price (about £70 at the time), but it also boasted a 3 inch colour screen, had the ability to play video's, store images and even more surprisingly it had the ability to record direct from a TV. Obviously I was sceptical about the quality of such a product after seeing the price and the amount of features which it offered. In the end I took a risk, and to be honest I think I should have listened to the sceptical side of me. That's not to say that the Mustek PVR is a bad product, but it just lacks the overall quality which its innovative features could have so easily delivered. *The Package* A colourful and picturesque box was responsible for containing the Mustek PVR, and it did a good job. Upon opening...

The Mustek GSmart Mini - Small in size and price!!

Advantages: Incredibly small, good quality pictures
Disadvantages: No flash, unable to view photos straight after taking

...I'd been looking for a good, small, and more importantly, cheap digital camera for quite a while. I decided I'd have a look round a few websites and the first one to catch my eye was the Mustek GSmart Mini. The size was small enough to fit in my pocket, infact you could most likely fit quite a few of these in your pocket it's that small, and the price was even smaller (EDIT: £39.95 to be exact, it was £29.95 when I bought it but it seems to have gone up). I ordered it straight away and when it arrived (with a bag of fried egg sweets thanks to firebox) I took it straight out of the box and started snapping away... Size/Style - I got this camera mainly because of the size, its just so small, you can take it everywhere! The actual design of the camera is nice enough, mine is grey (unlike the purple one shown on ciao) and has the GSmart...

Mustek DV 3032-tiny camera, not so tiny price

Advantages: small, lightweight, easy to use, decent resolution
Disadvantages: TOO small, too expensive, not true "video" camera

....00 for this camera, supposedly the wholesale price, in a vain attempt to list it on StormPay auctions to make a profit. I have since found these all over the net for $77 and less. For $77, it is totally worth it. For $98, plus shipping, no. This camera has no flash. That is the point at which I really wished I had never seen this camera. 99% of my photos are taken inside a house or building, and many times it is too dark for 35mm photos to come out properly. Hence the need for a digital camera with flash. But, this camera doesn't have one. It does, however, have a night shot option, which I have used and it actually works as well, if not better, than conventional flashes. The Mustek DV3032 features a three-setting resolution feature. When you turn the camera on, it starts out in the medium resolution, which is 1280 X 960. You have to hit...

A Superb Player at a Great Price

Advantages: Good sound and picture quality, Light and easy to carry, Plays many types of disc
Disadvantages: Battery life average

...I bought this little dvd player earlier in 2004, and at the time I managed to pick it up at a bargain price. I searched around several stores, including Dixons, but could not find a satisfactory portable dvd player for a price I could afford. However, I found the Mustek player at an unlikely source: Toys R Us! I picked up the player at a superb price of £150, including a travel/in car kit. In the following review, I will outline the reasons why I chose it, and also, how it still lives up to many other rivals in 2005. CONTENTS OF PACKAGE Unlike many other portable DVD players, the Mustek comes with an array of useful accesories. The box contained a strong carry case, with several pockets in wich to store headphones, remote control etc. The case has 6 slots in which straps (included) can be used to mount the player in the car, in...
