4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Entry Level Value, July 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Mustek GSmart D30 3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)
Overall a good value. It was purchased to replace disposable film cameras. A few negative things to note: It is really a 2.1 megapixel camera, with 3 MP calculated with hardware interpolation (translation: not useful at 3MP). Poor user manual. Digital zoom only, and when zoomed, will only record at 640 x 480, which is not enough for fleshtones. At normal zoom, the photos are very good. I had to return the first unit shipped to me because of problems with flash pictures. The second unit seems to work perfectly. On the good side: Tech support is pretty good- not toll-free, but short wait times, even when called at their "high" volume period. Video feature is nice, can be used as a web cam. NiMH 750 mah batteries last at least 10 times longer than alkaline, especially when using flash. Don't even try to use alakline. Best to leave everything set on Auto. Decent, basic image editing software included allows for color correction, focus, cropping, rotating, etc.
