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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quality reproduction
Disadvantages: Loud

...I bought the Mustek model of scanner becasue of the excellent clarity of reproduction. However, I was a bit amused to find that the product has a loud sound when scanning. I don't mean a little whisper either, I mean a BIG SOUND! If you can imagine an old truck as it starts up early on a cold morning, you may get the idea of just how loud the scanner sounds while scanning. This sound is present during both the Pre-scan and Scan feature. It's almost as if it annouces to the neighborhood that I am transferring pictures to my cpu. It's a great flatbed scanner, though, and reproduces well anything I scan from books to photos to illustrations. I sell books on internet auction sites and it's a snap to scan the covers for my file transfers. The Mustek 6000P offers a 30-bit color scanning system and comes with the software needed...

Advantages: Low price
Disadvantages: Cheap plastic and battery slot and a lot more

...I have owned Mustek MDC-3000 digital camera for more than a year. I bought it because of the price and reasonalby nice look on the web without having it in hands. The camera is actually producing not bad photos (you may see few examples attached) but only in well lighted places, especially outdoor in sommer. So when you want to have simple cheap toy for making few photos on vacation it might be not so wrong choice. Let me look now at some disadvantages. First of all it has poor, cheap plastic case which is really easy to break. My camera felt once on the floor at home and case broke at the same time. Similar I can tell about battery slot which you have to use quite often because the camera simply consumes too much power to be able to make all photos even using 16 MB Compact Flash card. You can forget about having good... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and reliable, good photo quality.
Disadvantages: Limited Photo editing software.

...The Mustek 600 cp is the only scanner I have owned, not that it is the only scanner I have tried. I have tried many, but I keep sticking with my 600 cp. The main reason is Quality of picture, especially for the web, setting the resolution to 700 rather than the default 300. The scanning software interacts well with all other programs, even Macromedia, but I tend not to use the editing package that comes with it, as it is a little limited but that is the market it is amid at. It also does not mind sharing a printer card with your local printer this makes for ease of instalment. Over all it is a good little scanner and a bargain at the price.... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

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 button... Read review

Advantages: intensively colors
Disadvantages: OCR function

...It occurs again and again that one would send pictures or photos gladly by Mail to dear joy, or she on the own web page of the world to show would like. If one is not proud owner of a digital camera, or which did not make pictures to be able to usually further process remains only the alternative her for in scanning around her then at the PC.
