Save your money.......2005-08-08

I bought this as a gift for my kid. About the time he got used to it, the darned thing quit working. Short battery life - shortest camera life of any of the half dozen digitals I've purchased.

what you see is what you get........2005-06-01

Although it performs OK in good light, the flash leaves something to be desired and the image quality was poor. The camera also uses batteries up very quickly, and mine stopped working after six months. the camera is very light, small and cheap looking because that is exactly what it is.

Great Camera Great Price.......2005-04-03

This is a great camera. It took great pictures, and is very compact and light-weight. Perfect for the traveler! I would recomend this camera to anyone who is interested in digital cameras.

Horrible camera!.......2005-03-28

There are 2 major problems with this camera:
1. The flash takes 3-4 minutes to warm up - and that is with brand new batteries. I had to replace batteries after 2 weeks. I got 5 pictures using those batteries. The older the batteries got, the longer it took for the flash to warm up. I have missed so many precious moments with my 6 year old because the flash would not warm up. I had to pay $26 at the mall to get pictures with the Easter bunny because the flash would not warm up. I called Mustek to find out the problem. They told me to buy Lithium batteries. So I did, not any better. They also said if this didn't work they would replace my camera - they would not give me my money back.
2. The zoom is too time consuming. Yet again, many missed precious moments fooling with the camera.

I have reverted back to using a disposable camera. At least it is reliable. I took some pictures with a friends Kodak 5.0 Easy Share and it was wonderful! I plan on purchasing one of these even though it costs 3x the price of the Mustek MDC 4000. On my friends camera, there was no waiting on the flash and there is a zoom button.

Good for a beginner.......2005-02-27

I bought this camera because I thought it would be good for a beginner like me. Overall, I've been very fond of this camera. It's easy to take pictures and convenient. You can take plenty of pictures (at least 100 something) using the low quality, at least 29 mid-quality pictures and several high-high quality pictures. And this is without any memory card or anything. You can take a 1 minute video with sound if you haven't really taken any pictures at all.

The only faults I have about this camera would be:
- It chews the batteries FAST (I recommend for you to get rechargable batteries)
- Putting the batteries in is confusing (don't know which side to put the batteries in) and closing the battery case is annoying sometimes
