Cheap and good performance

Hey all,

I am on the lookout for a cheap digital camcorder which also takes half decent piccies. I have seen the Mustek DV5000 and wondered if anyone has had any experience with this model?

It's extremely cheap and gets some fairly good reviews... I know the quality won't be excellent but I'd like a product which offers firly decent quality.

Thanks

these 'cameras' are about as much use as a marzipan dildo.
pay cheap pay twice.
crap CMOS sensors, big big compression, avoid at all costs.
really.
These are actually worse than DVD camcorders!!!!

ROTFLMFAO

Not the way I would have put it, but I agree with the facts behind the statement made by Roy. For around £70 you are not going to get a good quality camcorder, and even most good camcorders are poor with taking still photos.

Mark.
