Amazon.com Review
One gadget that can record video, operate as a web cam, take still pictures, make voice recordings, play MP3s and function as an SD/MMC storage device? Pretty handy.The question, though, is whether or not a single device can do all of those things well. The answer for the DV 5500 is that it's a mixed bag; the unit doesn't excel at any one thing, but the DV5500's incredible flexibility somewhat compensates for its weaknesses. It's a worthy addition to the gadget lover's arsenal. It's also a utilitarian media device for casual home users.
Design
The chassis of the DV 5500 takes design queues from some of the ultra-compact MiniDV camcorders now on the market. The unit easily fits into one hand, and controls are designed for use by the thumb and forefinger. Switching between modes is easy using a small thumbwheel while menu navigation is performed via a multi-directional button placed just below the thumbwheel. Our only gripe here was that the select button at the center of the multi-directional button was difficult to press; it's a bit too easy to make unintended selections with this button. Otherwise, the DV 5500 has a smart, user-friendly button layout.
The build quality of the DV 5500 is good and the plastic case feels sturdy in the hand. Both the battery and the memory card are housed in the bottom-rear portion of the unit. It's delightful that Mustek chose to include a good lithium-ion rechargeable battery as cameras like this are notorious for sucking batteries dry quickly, leaving the owner to schlep around a pile of alkalines. Not so with the good rechargeable in this unit, and although battery life only ran about an hour, it was great knowing we could simply recharge and start shooting again.
While most MiniDV-format cameras include an internal viewfinder in addition to an external LCD, the DV 5500 relies solely on an external display. Thanks to its relatively bright and clear 2.5" LCD, you probably won't find yourself missing an internal viewfinder, but because external LCDs drink a lot of juice an internal one would have been a nice option when power savings is a priority.
Using the LCD, you can navigate through the DV 5500's menu system, which is fairly intuitive, if not a bit rough around the edges. Some menu graphics and text are difficult to read, and you'll need to consult the manual to decipher them.
Features
At the heart of the DV 5500 is a microprocessor designed to encode video into a format known as MPEG-4. This compression scheme makes it possible to fit a respectable amount of video on the included 32 MB memory card. We were able to squeeze in six minutes at the highest resolution and quality settings, but this can be easily doubled when shooting at the lower resolution settings. Purchasing an optional memory card with a larger capacity is the ticket to even longer run times.
Still images can be captured onto the memory card, as well. At the highest resolution (2048 x 1536), expect to only hold a few images. Again, a memory card upgrade is required to get more out of the DV 5500's photo features.
Although the DV 5500 ships with a number of software utilities for photo and video organization and editing, we were using a Macintosh computer. Fortunately, our computer's USB port recognized the DV 5500 and we were able to drag and drop video and image files onto the Mac's hard drive. It was also easy to drag a few MP3 tracks to the DV 5500's memory card and listen to them via the unit's MP3 player interface. Similar capabilities are possible on a Windows-based computer with a USB port.
Image Quality
In good lighting situations the DV 5500 produced respectable stills with good color accuracy and sharp textures. Video results were good, but not as good as the quality you'll find with the tape-based MiniDV format. The tradeoffs in sharpness, light response and color accuracy are certainly due to the MPEG-4 compression the DV 5500 uses. However, if you can live with lower quality in the video department, you'll appreciate the ease of use, flexibility and convenience the DV 5500's tapeless format offers. --Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Great "Swiss army knife" media device
- Decent build quality
- Good still image quality
- Rechargeable battery
Cons
- MPEG-4 video quality could be better
- Short battery life
- Awkward selection controls

Good for the price.......2006-09-08
I bought this camera 2 years ago and I have had no functionality problems. The reason I give it a 4 is because of the price.
Granted, it has no optical zoom (but my limited knowledge at the time that I bought it kept that from disturbing me), so if you want to zoom in, it's better just to try to get close to whatever you're taking a picture of. Despite it being a somewhat low MP, the quality of the pictures are quite nice. I've been pleased with it. However, it is not so good with action pictures. It does better when you have it in the action setting, but it still has issues sometimes. Great for portraits. No need to worry about dark pictures, the flash is crazy strong. Sometimes it's better not to use the flash, even when in slightly dim light.
The video quality is so-so, but works for the sake of taking small segments of whatever you need to record (though I think the microphone being on top of the camera is a slight design flaw). I have a number of videos that are worth keeping.
The voice recording has proved useful. My husband used to take recordings of my orchestra concerts from quite far away in the auditorium, and the quality came out pretty decently. You need to make sure that you aren't tapping the camera or shifting around too much when doing so, but setting the camera down on something and recording works well.
If you have a large enough memory card, the mp3 player is useful. I think it's a fun little feature.
I used it as a webcam a couple of times. The only real flaw with that is that when the USB cord is plugged into the front, it pulls the camera down, so you have to be careful and position it effectively on the tripod while using that function.
I like that it comes with AV cords to hook up to the tv. And the rechargable battery is one feature that I will look for in future cameras because I hate replacing batteries and it lasts longer than regular rechargable AAs or AAAs (whatever the camera might take). The buttons on it are a little tough to deal with sometimes because the arrows are sensitive and the buttons on the inside of the screen aren't quite sensitive enough. But once you get the hang of it, it's fine.
Basically, after two years of owning it and using it thoroughly, I would like something with newer technology (more MP, nice optical zoom, that sort of thing), but I would still keep this camera as a secondary. When I bought it, it was $175, and I think it was well worth it.
Great Camera!.......2006-08-21
I am really impressed with the quality of both the still images and the Video that this camera is capable of producing. It's like I bought the Sony DCR DVD505 for half the price! I definitely think that it's worth the money. It also looks very stylish and I love the docking function.
MUSTEK GARBAGE.......2006-08-14
The DV5500 is a piece of garbage _ the day I got it it wouldn't focus right and I called for help and they told me I was shaking and that's why pictures weren't clear, I used the tripod and took a video and it did improve somewhat, I put the camera in it's docking station and about 5 months later tried to use it again and found out it WAS NOT FOCUSING AT ALL so I called them again, the FIRST thing they asked was WHEN I bought it and since it was over a year, they said it was OUT OF WARRANTY and they DID NOT FIX any out of warrantry cameras, in other words THROW it AWAY because no one else does either. I wouldn't buy another MUSTEK product if they gave it away
Not worth the headache.......2005-07-28
I've had this camera for 6 days and I have already had to return it. It wouldn't stay on.....just kept shutting off. Mustek kept giving me the run around when I tried to return it, and then had the nerve to ask for 3 copies of my receipt. I can't tell ya how well the camera performs cause I haven't had the chancec to use it, but so far its a big fat Zero.
OK Cam.......2005-07-10
This camera is okay as long as you are willing to send it for repairs immediately after you get it because it will probably break down quickly. I sent it several weeks after getting it and received it back repaired and it has been fine since (5 months)It is an ok camera for quick shots and video you may or may not want to keep. The video is equal to something you would get streamed on the internet in asf or wmv format. Overall I am pretty pleased with the camera after the repairs.
Amazon.com Product Description
Because the Casio Phonemate CP-750 transmits on the 900 MHz band, it offers clearer sound and less interference than phones using older lower-band technologies. This phone includes call waiting/caller ID and stores and displays up to 50 numbers in its call history list, along with names and the dates and times of calls.
The CP-750 includes Modem Monitor, an especially helpful feature if you use a modem or fax machine on the same line as your phone. Modem Monitor knows the difference between voice and data calls, so it prevents you from accidentally interrupting an online session or a fax transmission when you activate the handset.
The CP-750 handset includes a three-line display that shows the phone's status (whether or not it's in use) and the length of time you've been on your call. This display also shows the name, number, date, and time of each caller in the caller ID log. With "display and dial," you can scroll through names and numbers in the caller ID log or in the autodial memory and then dial those numbers by just pressing a button. When you receive a new caller ID call, a light on the base goes on.
The CP-750's other features include autodialing for up to 20 names and numbers, a toll-call indicator, and hold with extension release. In addition, this phone has a new-call indicator (an icon indicates the number of a new incoming call), a jack for an optional headset, and a belt clip. You can mount the CP-750 on a desktop or a wall; from either position, the handset will recharge and you will be able to view the caller ID information.
Customer Reviews:
YOU GET or DON'T GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR..............2000-02-08
First thing - Amazon's prices are great and their customer relations and complete guarantee satisfaction treatment is beyond reproach. I found this same item in retail stores @ $69.95. This phone has features found on more expensive units but at an extreme quality cost. The three-line readout on the backlit LCD display is so small and so weakly displayed, so as to make it almost impossible to read. This was most annoying when checking out a caller and when trying to recall a memory location and information. The monitor alert is really an unnecessary gadget that is not found on any of the better quality cordless phones. Save your money on this one and look to a Uniden or Panasonic. You may pay a little more, but you will be well rewarded, especially on their LCD displays.
Product Description
Fujifilm offers its NX-70 the ideal printer for high-resolution megapixel cameras. It features clean, economical and environmentally friendly printing with Fujifilm's original TA paper. It has a video output for displaying images on a TV monitor, multiple output on sticker sheets for extra fun or business applications and 20-sheet (10-sheet for sticker paper) paper cassette for fast and easy printing.
Amazon.com Product Description
For digital photography enthusiasts, Fuji offers the NX-70 digital printer, designed specifically for high-resolution digital cameras. Whether or not you use a computer or a film scanner, you can transfer data to the printer directly, preview your photos on your television, or insert the digital "film" card into your PC for editing, cropping, and other enhancements.
Although the Fuji NX-70 is a desktop printer fashioned to be a companion to PCs, it can print images directly from your digital camera without the use of a computer. Directly transfer data from 2, 4, 8, and 16 MB SmartMedia cards, or use other options, like the floppy disk adapter, to transfer images to your PC before printing. Either way, you'll appreciate the ability to print multiple images on one sheet of photo paper, choosing among several different configurations, including index prints and zoom.
Printing at two minutes per page and accommodating paper sizes to 4 by 6 inches, the NX-70 prints wallet-size photos and the photo stickers currently popular with kids. Fuji relies on thermo-autochrome printing for crisp, vivid images in resolutions of 306 dpi and 16.7 million colors.
The NX-70 runs on a high-performance RISC processor and employs heat to print on photo paper rather than using messy inks, toners, or ribbons. The High-Chroma processing system converts all of your digital camera's RGB data to YMC data. Every pixel gets mapped, enhancing color reproduction. Compact and light, measuring approximately 11 by 11 by 3 inches and weighing 6 pounds, the NX-70 easily fits into most every home or office. Accessories include a video cable, loading cassette, head cleaning paper, and power cord, supplemented by a one-year warranty. --Barbara Price

Fuji NX-70 Printer.......2000-08-20
Even though the printer specs do not include Smart Media cardsabove 16MB, I had no problems reading a 32 MB card. You must have a TV plugged in in order to operate the unit. The prints turned out very well. I found that if I wanted to edit the prints (size and color) on my PC them place them back on my Smart Media card, I could improve the printing significantly. I find the media a bit expensive, but for a low cost printer that will be used for an occasional photo quality print, it is worth having it.

What does this guy expect for $27.00.......2004-01-10
Yeah, I bought one...
I bought a cheap camera, and that is what I got...A cheap camera that took pictures while I was on vacation. Stop complaining man!
Not quite as described.......2000-11-30
This is a totally different camera than the one described under specifications. The Auto10 comes with batteries (2-AA) and a 12 exposure roll of 400 speed Fuji film. It also comes with a soft case, strap and a $5 rebate from Fuji. There is no autofocus, it focuses from 1.5 METERS to infinity (not 1.5 FEET as stated in product specs), there is no self timer. The red-eye reduction flash works well,the large viewfinder is nice, and the owner's manual is concise, but many of the other features such as the lens cover, motor and frame numbers are chintzy, poorly designed. Had the published specs been accurate, I would have known to purchase a different model. The quality of the photos taken with this camera was just average.

Amazon.com Product Description
Wake up to the music you like--not the selections of your local DJ--with the Classic CR80 clock radio. Equipped with a top-loading CD player and an analog AM/FM tuner, the device is more robust than the average alarm clock, which typically includes a built-in radio and little more. The clock offers most of the basic CD functions, such as play, stop, pause, skip, and repeat, so you can enjoy your CDs like you would on a larger stereo. In addition, users have the choice of waking up to the CD, the radio, or an abrupt buzzer sound for added versatility. Additional features include a sleep timer, an easy-to-read 0.9-inch LED display, and a battery backup in case the power goes out (9-volt battery not included).
Customer Reviews:
Horrible Radio.......2007-08-01
This is a horrible clock radio. When the radio or CD player is turned on, the device has a terrible buzz. It is so loud we can hear it through our baby monitor (this radio is in the baby's room). In addition, the clock does not accurately keep time. It runs fast. Within 2-3 weeks it is 2-5 minutes ahead.
Nice Product.......2006-09-16
I bought it from Chicago two year back, and now I am playing it in India it working fentastic with FM/AM but CD player is not working properly. But I am sure it will be fixed in one dollar here (Cheap India and Expert India). So am I am kind of over all happy with this product.
I would recomond to others to go with this.. dont thing just buy it.
Noisy in CD mode.......2005-12-01
This CD alarm radio is a nice looking unit and has all the features I wanted on it. The only problem is that when you play a CD there is a loud humming noise that is quite annoying. Try to listen to a CD at a low sound level and the humming will drive you crazy. If you just want an inexpensive CD alarm then go for it. If you want to listen to CD's as you fall asleep forget it.
Not a Total P.O.S..........2005-09-25
The only reason I gave this thing 1 star and don't consider it a TOTAL P.O.S. is because the alarm clock still works. The radio picks up more static than radio stations. The CD player stopped working after about 2 months and the warranty is insulting. I paid about $30 for this alarm clock and they want $20 to fix it, plus s&h. Why is it so freaking hard to make a CD player alarm clock that isn't garbage?
Good bargain .......2005-08-18
I got this clock im January and I am quite impressed by its performance.I did see the bad reviews and entirely agree with the previous reviewer that others might have received defective products but mine is going on strong after 8 months.Alarms are excellent and the radio reception is good.However,the CD quality is acceptable and for the price I paid this could be considered a bargain.
