I just received this camera and I have to say, it's a good value for what it does. It's small and light, so it's easy to carry. I don't like the little camera bag that came with it, since it offers virtually no protection against knocks. I used a 128mb media card and at Hi-Res it had a capacity of 192 pictures (I didn't use it to capacity). I took 3 15 second videos and about 47 shots. You can make a video up to the amount of memory you have (128mb = about 28 minutes). The quality of the pictures was excellent when viewed on screen and when printed out. The screen is very small, but adequate for framing and review. Personally, I'm a viewfinder person. The video with sound was excellent. Photos taken indoors with the flash did not have the yellowish cast that many cameras in this price range have. The batteries still have plenty of charge to them, even with leaving the viewscreen on and several reviews of the photos and video. The one negative I found is that this camera has no facility for an a/c adapter, so uploads may chew battery power if that matters to anyone. I have a card reader, so it doesn't matter to me.

My husb and I just bought this. When I got it in the mail I was scared it would be horrible because it was SOOO lightweight. Turns out it's everything we wanted! It's easy to go thru the modes (i.e. video to camera, etc), the AA battery it needs lasts long, the quality is excellent, it came with a bunch of useful products, AND it's easy to carry where ever you go.
I'd definitely reccomend this product for parents. It takes a second to turn on and I have taken wonderful photos and videos of my toddler. Inside, as well as outside.
Oh and as for some idea of it's memory capability: the 16 MB internally held about 2 min video and 20 photos.

This camera was an excellent purchase. User friendly,easy instructions to follow, quality resolution,flash does not distort indoor pictures.Amazing results for the price., the carrying case is not sufficient for hardy use,but can easily substitute another one, it's a small drawback for all the great features.
Would recommend this highly.

I am very pleased with this purchase. The sleek and small design of this camera left me skeptical of the quality, but to my suprise the quality is as good as any 4mp camera. It is also very user friendly, and easy to record and delete video. This camera is an excellent buy and I would recommend it to anybody that is looking for an inexpensive good quality camera.

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.

I was surprised when I got this camera in the mail. For the price, and the features, this is a great deal. The camera itself is solid in weight and doesn't look or feel cheap in any way. I was impressed by images that it produces and the features it has. I have not yet used the software, but I am glad that I got such a great deal!

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

I recieved my Mustek MDC 4000 a couple days ago and I must admit I was very dissapointed with the quality of this camera. It goes to show that one shouldn't rely soley on the online reviews of products. I truly don't understand how anyone could have anything good to say about this thing. I had a 1.2MP Sony Mavica years ago that took better quality pictures.

The camera it's self is poorly constructed. The seems don't meet up and are uneaven. I've played with the camera and experimented with all it's functions to see if I could maniuplate the camera to take better pictures with negative results. The Memory card door is flimsy and probably won't hold up to much use. I could see small dust inside the lense of the camera even though it was brandnew.

I'm very dissapointed. I spent nearly an entire week trying to get a good camera for less money. I read how this camera supposedly wone some digital camrea contest and read proably a hundred positive feedback statements. Save your money!

I've given this camera two stars because I think it would be a good gift for a young teenager or younger kid for their first camera. If you know anthing about digital cameras at all don't buy this thing for yourself because you will be dissapointed.

I'm going to give it away to my niece for her 13th birthday next month.

My experience is poor image quality, especially in high res shots. I'm not aware of a Taiwan company making products in the USA?.... I'd rather put in $20 more for one with an optical zoom with better reliability.

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.
