You can't beat the price.......1999-12-21

This digital camera, the Mustek VDC3500 is probably the best price that you are going to find for a digital camera. I haven't seen a better price.

This is not the top of the line camera, but it does do the job. The highest resuolution that the camera will do is 640x480, and the camera can hold 8 pictures at that resolution. The standard resolution is 320x240, the camera can hold 26 pictures at the lower resolution. Although the pictures are 24 bit color (16.7 million colors) the low resolutions are tough to deal with. The pictures are stored internally as JPEG's.

The camera has a powersaving feature so that after about 90 seconds of idle time, the camer shuts itself down so that it doesn't run the batteries out. This feature is nice when it doesn't come with a power cord.

The self timer is nice, alowing you to set the camera down, then have 10 seconds to run into the picture.

If you are on a budget, the Mustek VDC3500 Digital Camera is the camera for you, but if you want extreme quality, you should take a look at one of the better models.

This camera was HORRIBLE. I was getting this camera for my parents who are not extremely computer literate and when I tried to download the images using the software provided I found it to be very poorly designed and almost impossible to use. The download time is also bad compared to other cameras. It took about 15min to download about 8 images. I have an older camera that takes less than a min to download 32. That was a 2 meg cartridge as well if you tried upgrading to a 16 meg cartridge to take more photos you would be waiting all day. The picture quality is another issue I had. Even on the "Fine" resolution the pictures were extremely grainy. The casing it's self "feels" really cheap and fragile. When my parents received this camera and I came over to show them how to use it I felt embarassed. Trying to figure out how to use this camera and it's overall quality was a tragedy. I know your probably thinking "well you get what you pay for." Let me tell you at any price this camera is not worth it's value. The only good thing to come out of this is that the people at Amazon.com were very cooperative in helping me to return this camera.

The Price Is Right.......1999-12-07

The Mustek VDC 3500 is certainly in the low-price catagory when it comes to digital cameras and, you while you may not always get what you pay for you are certainly likely have to pay for what you get most of the time. So it is with this camera. I don't know how many pixels the camera has, but the number must be fairly limited. This translates into a lower picture quality than you might want, but certainly satifactory for photos that will go on the web. The memory card only takes 4 photos in the "fine resolution" mode but an additional 8 photo memory card is available. The battery costs about $7 and seems to last for about 25 photos with flash. Not a bad camera, but don't expect anything wonderful at this price.

Great camera for the low price!.......1999-11-09

I needed a digital camera to take pictures of new houses, so I could email them to my wife. This camera works great for general photography where you don't need a zoom lens. It also does well for pictures at a closer distance, such as a plant or animal. Simple operation and functions, but does not come with an AC power cord which would be very useful when downloading pictures onto your computer. Without the power cord, you must rely on the camera battery to supply the power. After 90 seconds of non-use, the cammera turns itself off and you have to keep turing it back on for additional downloading. Good camera for entry level digital pictures and general utility use.
