price
not a thing

If ever a camcorder has been competitively priced then it's the DV5000 from Mustek. This model is amazingly only £70, and for this price you still get a camcorder laden with features. There is MPEG 4 technology for high quality video recording, 3.1 M CMOS sensor, 4,1 million pixel hardware, built-in flash light, 32MB internal memory, SD/MMC card slot, 4x digital zooming and a voice recorder. It's also compatible with all the latest versions of Microsoft Windows, such as 98 SE , Me , 2000 and XP. For the price I think this product is simply amazing, I found that a set of AA batteries would last for around 2 hours of continuous video recording. Anybody can easily figure out the simple user friendly interface, and the size (slightly bigger than a packet of cards) is light and easy to carry around. I did find the recording time without a SD card poor at 16 minutes. But add a 512MB SD card and it will easily let you record for around three hours. Truthfully in terms of price I think this is about the best camcorder on the market.
