Price Paid:
$258.00
from PLE Computers Summary: I've had this camera for a little over 3 years, and have used it almost constantly. Or did, until about a year or two ago when the quality became so bad, the camera was rendered unusable. I don't think it's even worth fixing since before that the quality wasn't that good anyway. Colours in beautiful sunsets did not show up properly (or at all), closeups were impossible, and on a bright day the sky always looked white and made the entire picture white and blurry.
The camera is also supposed to work as a webcam, but doesn't.
Also i must mention the purchase price mentioned above is in AU dollars. Strengths: The fact it can take short videos could be handy. Also the 10 second self-timer, thumbnail view, and the way the buttons are placed is good.
It's also an attractive camera, like that matters. Weaknesses: The flash takes up enormous battery power, aswell as the fact it takes forever to charge up from when you turn the camera on. Also the extremely bad camera quality, and the fact the quality faded moreso over the years. I don't know if anybody else has had this problem though. I haven't heard about it anywhere.
Also the delay between when you click the button and when the photo is taken is too long. Similar Products Used: Two different sony cameras, one which was $3000AU and VERY good, another which was cheap but lasted longer than 1 year, unlike the Mustek. Customer Service: When i first got the camera it was faulty, so i sent it back to the shop, then i got another faulty one, and sent it back to the shop, then my CompactFlash card was faulty... etc. However they always fixed it with no complaints, so i suppose i can't complain too much either.
