Errr... a word of advice:

Paragraphs are your friend. Capitalization is your friend. Spell checkers are your friend. Grammar is your friend. How about this:

I own a mustek dv3000, and also upgraded to a mustek dv3500. I have also purchased a mustek dv4500. I wanted to post this thread to the people out there who, like me, were trying to get advice on buying a digital camera and find out how great this lil minicam is.

Each indiviual camera has different features. While I have all three, I wish I had the Mustek dv500, and the dv5500 as well. They are so small that they fit in your pocket or glove box.

Except for the dv3000, the cameras have a 7-in-1 features: video, still, mp3 playback, voice recording, webcam functionality, memory card reader/writer. All of them have a flash except the 3000, and 3500.

They all take great pictures and great video except the 3000, with its lower resolution CMOS sensor. All have great battery life: if you use lithium batteries in there... man it's like the Energizer bunny and never stops running. Each camera has 32 mb of memory built-in, except the 3000. They also have SD slots for expansion. A 256 mb card is great but a 512 mb card is all you'll ever need.

All of them have 3.0 mp cmos' ecept the except the 3000, which is 2 mp with software interpolation to 3 mp.

The 3500 and 4500 are 4 mp, software enhanced from 3 mp.
The 5000 and 5500 are 5 mp, software enhanced from 3 mp.

I couldn't interpret this part
all are fine pics are at the highest meg in software enhanced, when you are in hte normal, and econoy mode it is regular meg section 3 meg ecept the 3000 which is 2 meg..

Who can ask for anything more?

The newest camera, the 5500, has more features but a shorter battery life, a bigger LCD screen, and still shot with macro and a ccd lens(?). You are giving up a lot when if you purchase this camera. You are buying a camera that is redesigned with a built in battery and there are complaints of the navigation being too sensitive.

Well the 3000 was perfect, but the 3500 was very sensitive until broken in. It's got an auto focus and a new swivel screen. I would love to upgrade, but until it takes videos and they increase the resolution, I'll wait.

Thank you for dropping in. I hope my experience has been informative. Thank you again, and please ask if you have any questions...
