Mustek DV520T poorly assembled
By The Gadget Meister from San Francisco on 5/19/2008
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Pros:
Great Features, Simple Controls, Versatile
Cons:
Flimsy Construction, Poor Battery Life, Poor Sound
Best Uses:
Movies/Short Films
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Surprisingly for a reknown company such as Mustek, the 520T is a defective model. It is versatile, simple and when functional, takes decent images. However, the buttons and knobs stick, and the application when required usually does not engage. The buttons stick usually after you have owned the machine more than 90days. It died after awhile, although all the warning lamps indicate it still functions. Buy something else.

I am just a teenager who wanted a cheap, simple, inexpensive camcorder to take around and take short simple videos, but this camcorder couldn't even do that. I was not looking for quality, but the videos were down right blurry. The sound on the recordings were horribly delayed, the person in the video would talk for a few seconds before you could even hear his/her voice. Do not under ANY circumstances buy this product.

I bought this camera just to throw in the backpack for camping fishing and other out door activities. Has prooved to be very durable and reliable. Great battery life! Zoom for the video camera is the only drawback, it tends to make the video grannie. but for anything within 30 feet it is great.
