Summary: for the money, this rocks! Very positive experience here...
Review: Wow, some very negative reviews here. I took a chance anyway and have been quite pleased! For the price you are paying, it's amazing to have all these features. Still camera, digital camcorder, MP3 player, sound recorder, card reader...a very versatile item. At my band's practice recently I took some pics, recorded a few video clips, taped the sound from an informal jam session, and still had plenty of room on a 256meg SD card. (Also handy for transferring tracks and other data from our studio computer, in a pinch!) It takes a while to recharge the battery when completely drained, especially the first time. At first I thought it was not going to work at all, as with one review here, but after a few hours on the charger it worked just fine again. Mustek sells replacement batteries, and it's a good idea to have more than one to rotate out, if you use the camera a lot. If you're an A/V snob, then you will probably not be as happy with this thing as I am. But if you want something inexpensive and functional and insanely portable and convenient, this is a great little device. When using it in public, someone always comes up and asks about it! I'm very impressed with this little gadget.

Summary: Not a really Review, but a quick reminder! I like DV4000.
Review: I think this camera offers good quality photos, but I do agree
with some others that Mustek didn't offer with a good manual
and a good after-service as well. If you want to see some sample
photos by this camera, please have a look at this site: http://www.mustek.com.tw/Taiwan/html/prod_camra/gsmart_lcd3/sample.html Well, don't bother to read those Chinese characters, just left
click on the photos and you'll see larger image. In my view, the
second photo is very sharp, only a little bit magenta-shift(a
slightly color shift, around 10% perhaps). I would like to give
it 4.5 stars.

Summary: nothing special
Review: this camera is over all ok. the quality is not very good, but the size is awesome. i think it will be a good camera to screw around with for now but im already thing about getting a newer, better quality camera.------- the day that i got it i tried to install all of the software. all of the picture software installed fine, but the video software didnt work. so now i have a neat camera and some good footage, but no way to edit it because all of the video editors that are already on my cpu dont support digital video footage. i guess ill have to call mustek and ask for some new software.anyhow i like the mp3 feature very much. make sure if you want to upgrade memory card you get the sd card, compact flash wont work!!! i upgraded to 256mb and now i have an hour and a half of video almost 2 hours of voice record and 3000 pictures. the card was [expensive] i think it was totally worth it.----------- ...the day i took it to snow valley to film my friends snowboarding, i ran out of battery. i put the camera in my backpack and when i got home the outside part of the fold out screen was all dented in!!! this really bugs me even tho it doesnt effect the camera. i like my things to look nice ...i downloaded windows movie maker so now i can edit my footage. THE MOVIES ARE MEANT FOR COMPUTERS. THE RESOLUTION ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE REAL MOVIES LIKE YOU CAN WITHOTHER CAMERAS. this kinda bugs me too but again o well------the camera is really starting to piss me off the screen will just shut off after i have had it plugged into the tv for any amount of time. i have to take the card out and turn it on without the card in a few times before the screen works again.another thing is that all of my friends are buying 256mb mp3 players and they can hold like 1000 songs and i have the 256 mb card in my camera and it barely fits 50. and when the songs are on the mp3 player it just names themthe first part of the name and then a dash and then a number so you dont know what the song is!, and some of the songs arent encrypted correctly so it just shows up as track1 this is really annoying espically when you are trying to find a specific song.i need to find some stickers to cover up the bent in screen because it looks horrible.more later

Summary: Save your money.
Review: Looked very promising. But It constantly tries to auto focus. Every picture is blurry, the DV mode at the best qauailty freezes every other second. This is at best an exteremly over priced webcam.

Summary: Please help me...
Review: Hey!
I am considering buying this camera, but I would like to see a picture taken with this camera at the highest resolution possible, so that I can see if the camera is worth spending my money on. Please send me a picture taken with this camera to my e-mail adress: mongo_12@hotmail.com And I have an other question... What exactly came with the camera? Could anybody send me a picture of that too? Glenn

Summary: Really Neat Gadget!
Review: Originally purchased as a gift for someone else, I kept it after finding it was not compatible with the original recipient's computer system (Mac). This is one really neat camera with multiple features. The more I play with it, the more enjoyment I get...it does so many things & with great quality. I have been very happy in particular with the many features - sepia, black & white, mosaic, low light, macro, etc. I have tried all of the features (still, video, mp3, recorder, web cam, etc.) and am thrilled with the quality, especially in proportion to the cost - many goodies for a low price. In reading other reviews, moderate to negative, I believe some may be due to not consulting the instruction guide or with experimentation. I duplicated some of the mistakes and found them easily corrected when I delved into the manual. I use this more than my expensive 5.0 megapixel camera!

Summary: mustek dv4000 mpeg4
Review: Like most of you, I bought this camera on line. for my girl. It's a toy. quality is extremely poor (not at all the crisp images mustek is claiming) and compare with my old kodak dc210, it's a joke. I am really disappointed to buy a camera of 4m pixel, 6 years after my old 1m pixel and ending up with the most useless toy I ever bought. Now I know. If I need something good, I will stick to the big brands, big prices and will buy from a shop were I can test first.
It's the worst present I ever offered to my child

Summary: Great value, simple menu
Review: This is a great value, it will never be obsolete, since MP3 player with 512 MB will always carry more than 28 hours of good quality music.I have 2 issues with this camera, the tiny size makes the videos little bit shaky, and the most important is that , whenever anyone sees me carrying it, just buys it, and makes me order another one for myself !!!
I bought already 3 , and shopping for the forth.
Warning.
Amazon recommends Compact flash card , which is not supported. The camera supports only MMC and SD
The battery is a standard Nokia 3.7 V battery used for the nokia 7200. I bought another battery for 6 $, to extend mp3 listening time, as well as video recording

Summary: DV 3500
Review: Amazon doesn't sell this one yet but its just like the DV4000 except it operates using 2 AA batteries instead of a charger. Got it for my husband for X-mas and he absolutely loves the MP3 feature and I like both camera modes. Unfortunately I just had to email Mustek Tech because the PC camera mode shuts the camera down and my software doesn't recognize the PC carmera. All in all if not happy with DV4000 then buy the DV3500 for about the same price.
