great concept, but the video quality is not

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great concept! Extremely user-friendly. Powerful zoom. Extra features.
Cons EXPENSIVE! Video quality is questionable. 16:9 files stretched back to 4:3 when played.
Recommended it? Yes

It took me several months of waiting for a good deal on some new technology. I heard enough stories about miniDV, DVD etc. from friends and I think those cameras are not really user-friendly and convenient... Got a good deal at Costco for this one, recently, and just before taking my son to the... Read full review »

Truly Digital Video

Pros excellent videos, easy file transfer, easy archiving of files
Cons no viewfinder, worthless still camera, proprietary video file format

Pros Small size, rechargeable
Cons Neither camera or camcorder feature is very good.
Recommended it? No

The Mustek DV520T tries to be a digital camera and a camcorder all in one and it doesn't do either thing very well.

It is poorly constructed with an aluminum case that just presses on (may pop off if dropped or handled roughly.) It take a strange sized flat battery that tends to die after... Read full review »
