Review Mustek DV5500 MPEG-4 7-in-1 Multifunctional Digital Camcorder w/2.5-inch LCD and 4x Digital Zoom / Mustek 5500:

Mustek brand has been globally well known for its excellent quality, professional support, and extensive service. Mustek has been recognized by many international magazines and professional organizations for its excellent innovation technology, production capability, and product quality. PRODUCT FEATURES:MPEG 4 technology;Pocket-sized design;Swivel 2. 5" TFT LCD screen;Built-in flash light;Rechargeable battery. One gadget that can record video, operate as a web cam, take still pictures, make voice recordings, play MP3s and function as an SD/MMC storage device? Pretty handy. The question, though, is whether or not a single device can do all of those things well. The answer for the DV 5500 is that it's a mixed bag; the unit doesn't excel at any one thing, but the DV5500's incredible flexibility somewhat compensates for its weaknesses. It's a worthy addition to the gadget lover's arsenal. It's also a utilitarian media device for casual home users. Design The chassis of the DV 5500 takes design queues from some of the ultra-compact MiniDV camcorders now on the market. [+]
The unit easily fits into one hand, and controls are designed for use by the thumb and forefinger. Switching between modes is easy using a small thumbwheel while menu navigation is performed via a multi-directional button placed just below the thumbwheel. Our only gripe here was that the select button at the center of the multi-directional button was difficult to press; it's a bit too easy to make unintended selections with this button. Otherwise, the DV 5500 has a smart, user-friendly button layout. The build quality of the DV 5500 is good and the plastic case feels sturdy in the hand. Both the battery and the memory card are housed in the bottom-rear portion of the unit. It's delightful that Mustek chose to include a good lithium-ion rechargeable battery as cameras like this are notorious for sucking batteries dry quickly, leaving the owner to schlep around a pile of alkalines. Not so with the good rechargeable in this unit, and although battery life only ran about an hour, it was great knowing we could simply recharge and start shooting again. While most MiniDV-format cameras include an internal viewfinder in addition to an external LCD, the DV 5500 relies solely on an external display. Thanks to its relatively bright and clear 2. 5" LCD, you probably won't find yourself missing an internal viewfinder, but because external LCDs drink a lot of juice an internal one would have been a nice option when power savings is a priority. Using the LCD, you can navigate through the DV 5500's menu system, which is fairly intuitive, if not a bit rough around the edges. Some menu graphics and text are difficult to read, and you'll need to consult the manual to decipher them. Features At the heart of the DV 5500 is a microprocessor designed to encode video into a format known as MPEG-4. This compression scheme makes it possible to fit a respectable amount of video on the included 32 MB memory card. We were able to squeeze in six minutes at the highest resolution and quality settings, but this can be easily doubled when shooting at the lower resolution settings. Purchasing an optional memory card with a larger capacity is the ticket to even longer run times. Still images can be captured onto the memory card, as well. At the highest resolution (2048 x 1536), expect to only hold a few images. Again, a memory card upgrade is required to get more out of the DV 5500's photo features. Although the DV 5500 ships with a number of software utilities for photo and video organization and editing, we were using a Macintosh computer. Fortunately, our computer's USB port recognized the DV 5500 and we were able to drag and drop video and image files onto the Mac's hard drive. It was also easy to drag a few MP3 tracks to the DV 5500's memory card and listen to them via the unit's MP3 player interface. Similar capabilities are possible on a Windows-based computer with a USB port. Image Quality In good lighting situations the DV 5500 produced respectable stills with good color accuracy and sharp textures. Video results were good, but not as good as the quality you'll find with the tape-based MiniDV format. The tradeoffs in sharpness, light response and color accuracy are certainly due to the MPEG-4 compression the DV 5500 uses. However, if you can live with lower quality in the video department, you'll appreciate the ease of use, flexibility and convenience the DV 5500's tapeless format offers. -Joshua Gunn Pros Great "Swiss army knife" media device Decent build quality Good still image quality Rechargeable battery Cons MPEG-4 video quality could be better Short battery life Awkward selection controls.

  • Model: Gateway DVS20 MPEG4 Pocket Multi-Cam

Review Gateway DVS20 MPEG4 Pocket Multi-Cam / Gateway DV-S20:

DV-S20 is the pocket size digital camcorder and camera in one for a breakthrough price. With the DV-S20 you get multiple devices in one. Small and light, you can take it everywhere. It uses no tapes - all digital functions means it's simple to use and easy to share content. Capture all your moments on video or photo. The DV-S20 includes everything you need to share your footage over the web or on your TV. 64MB of built-in memory is enough for almost 18 minutes of video and hundreds of photos. Not a full-fledged camcorder, and yet very much more than a toy, the Gateway DVS20 MPEG4 Pocket Multi-Cam is one of a new generation of "convergence" devices that take both still images and tapeless digital video. In a head-to-head contest with a full-featured tapeless camcorder-something from Panasonic D-Snap's line, for example-it may not come out all that well, but at this price range a more fair comparison would be with an entry-level digital still camera. Seen in this light, the DVS20 does very well indeed. [+]
In fact, I now find myself favoring my Gateway over my everyday digital camera, a low end Olympus. The DVS20's compact body The first advantage it has over almost every still camera in its price range is the swiveling LCD that lets you take photos from awkward angles-you can shoot holding the camera over your head for example, by angling the LCD down, or capture stylish, cinematic low angles. And the shutter action is above average, with very little of the dreaded shutter delay effect of many digital cameras (you know, when you press the button and the picture gets taken sometime the following week). So what about video? The DVS20 does okay, though it would be better to think of video as a bonus function rather than its main purpose. It performs middling to poor in low-light conditions, but in daylight it takes pretty clear, if somewhat herky-jerky footage. A memory card is a must if you want to do any significant amount of taping-the size of the internal memory is actually pretty generous at 64 MB, but this will hold a maximum of 18 minutes of video, and that's at the lowest resolution (a very grainy 320 x 240). It's worth noting that the mic performs much better I expected. I was able to tape a public event, getting very clear audio for both the PA and the ambient crowd noise. One real downside is the rate at which this thing eats through batteries-one day of sporadic use was all that a pair of alkalines lasted me. Do not proceed without rechargeables! And while we're talking downsides, I should also mention that the flash tends to wash out facial features at distances under ten feet. Overall, though, you'd be hard put to find a better value in this price range. -David Stoesz Pros Above-average performance for its price range Swivel-view LCD A/V and USB outputs SD card slot Very compact body-comparable to a pack of cigarettes. Cons Devours batteries like sweet, sweet candy Only so-so low light performance The flash tends to wash out details.

Review Canon Optura 200MC MiniDV 1.3 Megapixel Camcorder / Canon 7932A001:

Canon has taken the feature set of the highly successful Optura 100MC and added even more capabilities to make the Optura 200MC. The Optura 200MC successfully manages the task of being both a camcorder and still camera. The new features include: video streaming capabilities with Windows XP, Exif 2. 2 print standard compatibility, Super Night mode with light, USB terminal, extended range of digital special effects and fades, improved memory card access times, the ability to record video to the memory card, and much more. Canon has taken the features of the highly successful Optura 100MC and expanded them on the Optura 200MC, adding digital still-photo capabilities to this MiniDV digital video camcorder. Some of the new features are video streaming with Windows XP, extended range of digital special effects and fades, and the ability to record video to a memory card. The camcorder itself has joined the growing trend of vertically oriented design, making the Optura 200MC a true handheld model. Lens At the heart of the Optura 200MC is a CCD image sensor containing 1. 33 million pixels. The Optura 200MC incorporates a bright zoom lens that uses a special glass originally used in Canon digital still cameras. [+]
The 10x optical zoom lens (4. 2-42mm) is the 35mm focal length equivalent of 48-480mm. The digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image, has 200x capability. More Features For storage of digital still images, you can use either MultiMediaCard (MMC) or Secure Digital (SD) memory cards in the Optura 200MC. An 8 MB MMC comes with the Optura 200MC, which stores up to 17 fine-quality still pictures or 32 standard-quality images. You can save both video and digital still images to the Optura 200MC's tape cassette, and high-resolution still images as well as motion JPEG to the memory card. The Optura 200MC has a built-in, pop-up flash for taking digital stills. The Optura 200MC will fire one flash (a preflash) to check the exposure, then fire a second time to make the correct exposure. The flash has four modes: auto, on, off, and red-eye reduction. For greater imaging variety, you can switch on one of several digital effects: negative picture, art, black and white, sepia, mosaic. Inputs and Outputs The standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also called FireWire) is present for a lossless connection to a PC or other DV machines. The common RCA AV connections are used for direct viewing on a television or VHS dubbing. You can also plug in an external microphone via the mic jack for better quality sound. MiniDV Format MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution-far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture. You'll also get excellent sound quality, recorded in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes. Specifications and Contents The Optura 200MC measures 2. 4 by 4. 63 by 4. 6 inches and weighs just under 19 ounces. This package contains the Optura 200MC camcorder, power adapter (model CA-560), battery pack (model BP-512), wireless controller, S-video cable, stereo video cable, 8 MB MMC memory card, and USB cable.

Review Canon Optura 100MC MiniDV 1-Megapixal Digital Camcorder w/ Built-in Digital Still Mode & 8MB SD/ MMC / Canon 100 MC:

Being a hybrid product means that one can successfully carry the workload of two. The Optura 100MC takes the concept of a hybrid to a whole new level. The perfect fusion of camcorder and still camera, the Optura 100MC successfully manages the task of both. Versatility and style is the backbone of the Optura 100MC. An extensive feature set and attention to detail make every shooting experience a sheer delight. Stunning video and razor sharp still images are flawlessly combined to produce a superior imaging tool. Now displaying your creation on screen or paper has the same impact: impressive. The biggest knock on the Optura Pi was its lack of a high-resolution digital still mode. Sure, it took pictures, but with a resolution of only 640 x 480. With the Optura 100MC, Canon has addressed this issue by including a 1. [+]
3-megapixel still-shot mode, and created an outstanding product. Most of the features that made the original so compelling have returned, including the progressive scan CCD (perfect for recording and analyzing that golf swing), and optical image stabilization. The zoom lens is a beefy 10x, but using the digital zoom will push that number up to 200x. The LCD monitor is 2. 5 inches, but the camcorder has taken a hearty step down in size itself, so those inches are well spent. The camcorder itself has joined the growing trend of vertically oriented design, making the Optura 100MC a true handheld model. As with all DV camcorders, the Optura 100MC includes an IEEE 1394 port to transfer video footage for editing or dubbing. Additionally, the new Optura includes S-video and composite input and output ports, making it possible to archive all your old analog footage in the pristine DV format. Also included in the kit are a battery, wireless remote, S-video cable, stereo video cable, and 8 MB MMC card.

Review Sony DCRPC9 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder / Sony PC9:

With the DCR-PC9, Sony achieved super compactness and no degradation in quality as the DCR-PC9 meets the demand of customers for an "All-In-One" and "Feature Rich" camcorder in a small package. The DCR-PC9 provides the same excellent digital picture quality that customers look for in a Sony Handycam. With the addition of the Progressive Shutter System, customers can capture great looking still pictures and store them through the built-in Memory Stick slot. Another new feature is the capability to capture video not only on the Mini DV tape but also on the Memory Stick as MPEG. I/O Terminals are also not a problem as there is no need to use adapters. There is even a USB terminal and IEEE 1394 interface built-in. The Sony DCR-PC9 is a quality consumer-grade compact MiniDV digital camcorder. Packed with a 10x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom, the camcorder also features digital image stabilization. You can shoot and watch your video using either the color eye viewfinder or 2. 5-inch LCD viewfinder. [+]
The unique vertical design makes it compact enough to hold within your hand without any strain. Like most digital camcorders, the DCR-PC9 is equipped with an IEEE 1394 connection (also known as i. Link and Fire Wire) for digital image transfer, allowing video editing on a properly equipped home computer. In addition, all analog ports on the DCR-PC9 have analog to digital converters built in. With this feature, anyone upgrading from older analog equipment can transfer their old memory to new digital tapes. If you own a TV equipped with Sony's Super LaserLink feature (or purchase an optional Super LaserLink attachment for your TV), playback is especially easy. You can just aim the DCR-PC9 at the TV from up to 26 feet away, press "play," and enjoy your videos without having to connect any wires. The DCR-PC9 also doubles as a digital still camera, recording photos onto an included 4 MB Memory Stick at a resolution of up to 640 x 480 pixels. You can also record up to 60 seconds of video directly to the memory stick with the MPEG movie mode. Digital program editing allows for easy dubbing of 20 selected scenes from one digital camcorder to another, or to an analog VCR. Three different white-balance settings help optimize color. The DCR-PC9 includes a microphone input, as well as an accessory shoe for extra lights or microphones. Also included are an AC power adapter, lithium-ion battery, remote, stereo AV cable, lens cap, and lens hood.
