Beware, you get what you pay for.......2004-05-20

Camera worked well for 13 months, as soon as warranty ends (12 Mos) camera will no longer turn on. Mfg's tech support was no help. PC software that accompanied camera was not user friendly to say the least. This was the first and last mustek product for me.

Weak battery door.......2004-05-12

My MDC3500 was sitting on my desk one day, when I noticed it move. When I picked it up to see what had caused it to move the batteries fell out.
The catch that holds the door closed had just broken off.
It is now held shut with Scotch tape.
Other then that the camera works fine.

An excellent camera for low budget.......2003-08-26

I took 100 high quality pictures with this camera at my cousin's wedding with the LCD on at all times (using an SD card). Almost 80% of the pictures I took were of superb quality which I was happy about, and I have yet to recharge the batteries I put into the camera the first time!! The camera also adjusts itself to deal with sunlight, light places, and most other environments which is the standard for higher range cameras.

The only bad thing about this camera is that it has no optical zoom. Other than that, this camera gives you the best bang for your buck for both quality and economic efficiency. I highly recommend this camera for the budget user who wants something easy to use.

Surprisingly GOOD Camera. Good Night Shoots........2003-07-28

When I 1st bought this camera, I didn't expect much from it as I was only looking for something small & light with webcam features that I can carry around wherever I go.

I have to first emphasize that this is a 2.1mp camera. The 3.1mp mode is by interpolation.

The 1st thing I tested for in this camera is it's night shoot capability which is normally quite poor in lower range cameras. MDC3500 has 4 night shoot modes to adjust the shutter speed of the camera (presented as 2x, 4x, 8x & 16x). I get surprisingly good results even in situations where flash cannot be used (scenic night shoots).

The aluminium body of the MDC3500 makes it feel sturdy, except for the plastic cover which feels as if it's falling apart every time I open it (then again, it's still in one piece till date). The matt aluminium finish looks nice as well.

The interface is quite idiot proof unless you cannot understand the icons. However, accessibility of some of the functions are quite bad. For example, in order to switch to night shoot mode, I have to go to the main menu, and press the button like 7 times before I can get it activated. The resolution and flash selector is easily accessible but the camera doesn't "remember" the resolution settings. Resolution is defaulted to 1600x1200 every time the camera is switched on. The digital zoom of this camera sucks. Not only it's difficult to access, there is no progressive zoom and zooming (even at 2x) will limit the picture resolution to only 800x600.

The speed of the camera is average as compared with those of the same class. Startup takes about 4-5 seconds. Shooting speed is dependant very much on the media since the camera copies the picture files directly to the media. The MMC that I use is much slower than SD cards. Takes about 6-8 seconds to reload (without picture preview) in 2048x1536 resolution, 4-5 seconds in 1600x1200 resolution. Very fast in 800x600 resolution. Should perform much better if SD card or internal memory is used (about 1-2 seconds faster).

When switched to night shoot mode, the camera delays for several seconds before triggering the shutter, causing the shoot to be not "live". The display also becomes sluggish in night shoot mode. The longer the exposure setting, the more sluggish the display. When in webcam mode, display is quite underexposed in indoor lightings with default exposure but is okay when set to a longer exposure. Display will however become sluggish as in the night shoot mode (not too bad at 2x but very sluggish at 16x)

I have not really tested the battery life but it seems quite allright when used with NiMH rechargeable batteries. I have not tested it's closeup capabilities as well.

Summary:
An overall good camera with good pictures, good night shoots, nice aluminium body, easy to use interface, compact & light. Seems to out perform even other "more branded" cameras of the same range that I have used before. But then again, this camera costs slightly more than a fujifilm A202/A200 and olympus C-150/D390 (in Singapore) but is of cause more compact and much lighter.

Bad points about the camera is it's inaccessibility to certain functions, sluggishness and delay in shutter in night shoot mode, slightly below average webcam capability, poor digital zoom function & no bundled rechargeable batteries.

nice camera.......2003-04-02

This is a very nice camera. It's really small and very easy to use. It takes great photos. The only gripe that I have is the software that it comes with isn't the greatest. I did buy a 32 mb card because 16 mb just wasn't enough. On the highest resolution it takes 65 photos. On the second highest resolution it takes 95 photos. This is with a 32 mb card. I haven't tried the low resolution. If you buy this camera I suggest buying rechargeable batteries. When I first got this camera I took about 10 photos over a period of 2 days and the batteries died. I replaced the batteries and with the new batteries I took about 2 photos over 2 days and again the batteries died. The price of rechargeable batteries is definetly worth it!

So overall

pros- small, very easy to use, takes great photos, nice price

cons- you will probably have to spend money on rechargeable
batteries
You'll have to spend money on a memory card

If I didn't have to spend the extra money on a memory card and batteries I would have given this 4 stars.

The product is not user friendly. The simplest functions have been turned into several steps that defy reason. The prints on the screen are so small that they're hard to read even with a magnifying glass. Perhaps the product has been designed by very smart engineers without having the end user in mind.

Good phone, but not a great one.......2004-11-17

Last year, I bout Panasonic TX-TG2224 which is a great phone. And I just bout this one cuz I wanted to have even greater one. Well, I didn't find anything better about this phone over TX-TG2224. This phone is about $40 more than the 2224 phone and this one is 5.8GHz instead of 2.4GHz. When I switched the phone from 2224 to this new one during the conversation, the other party complained about weaker volume. The ringer tone and melody is not that great, either. My old 2224 has better ringer options. This phone shoul've been priced just about $10 more than the KX-TG2224. If you are looking for a good phone w/ decent price, I definitely recommed KX-TG2224 over this one.

Good function, ugly appearance.......2004-06-22

First, the good news. Panasonic has fixed all of the problems the 2.4GHz phones experienced. They have finally seen the light and are using NiMH batteries. These are a huge improvement over the previous NiCad batteries. Sound quality is good, as is range. Setup is easy, and the features all work as they should. This phone functions so much better than the Siemens phone it replaces that there is simply no basis for comparison. Function early a solid five stars.

The bad news for many will be the appearance. What are the product stylists at Panasonic thinking and who do they imagine the buyer is? One wonders what sort of décor they imagine will be enhanced by bright silver phones with orange LCD screens and antennas sticking up everywhere? Before you buy one, make sure that any other decision makers in the household are consulted on the appearance. The icing on the cake is the rather large baby blue and black logo announcing to the world that this is the "5.8GHz Gigarange Supreme" which completes the overall cheesy appearance nicely. Our Siemens phone may have been had functional issues, but it was well styled and disappeared into virtually any background. On the other hand, the Uniden phones make the Panasonic styling look positively restrained. Appearance earns a dismal two stars.

Keypad layout is pretty typical of what one expects these days from Asian mass-market electronics companies, busy and cluttered. Why use a single button for talk/hang up when you can use a separate one for each? If there was space to add more buttons, rest assured Panasonic would have. Since the buttons actually feel good in use, are not overly sensitive and don't stick when pushed, the layout earns three stars.

In the end I weighted my rating more toward function, as that's really the only area one can be objective about, and the function is strong. If you can stand to look at it, and you're not married to someone that will hold a grudge because you brought something hideous looking into the house, you probably won't be disappointed.

Amazon.com Product Description

The remanufactured Panasonic KX-TG5210M cordless phone system is expandable up to four handsets, letting you outfit your house with a bundle of phones without dealing with crisscrossing wires or multiple phone jacks. The system comes with a single handset, but with each additional handset purchase, you can enjoy such benefits as a home-wide intercom, perfect for calling the family together for dinner; a page locator, which finds the misplaced handsets within a cluttered household; and four-way phone conferencing.

To ensure an elite-sounding connection, the system employs 5.8 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, which operates in a less-trafficked wavelength than more common 2.4 GHz signals while still maintaining the same great security, topnotch clarity, and long range. Reception is further improved by Panasonic's Voice Enhancer circuitry, which helps clarify and improve reception by producing an easy-to-hear, natural-sounding voice, making the handsets sound crisp and intelligible even at a distance from the base. Plus, 5.8 GHz frequencies won't interfere with wireless computer networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi.

This phone system is also equipped with an all-digital answering system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 15 minutes of recording time and up to three mailboxes, in addition to such features as a prerecorded outgoing message, remote operation, toll saver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out, as they're stored in flash memory for later retrieval.

Another nice feature is the caller ID/call waiting combo (subscription required). Caller ID lets you see who's calling before you answer the phone, while call waiting lets you know when another call is coming in. By combining the two, however, users will learn who's calling even when they're currently in the middle of a conversation with someone else. When you hear the beep, simply look at the handset's LCD display to identify the name and number. It's especially convenient when you're waiting for an important call but still have other calls to make.

The handset speakerphone, meanwhile, is a plus when dealing with automated phone systems. You can turn on the speakerphone, put down the handset while watching TV or typing, and then pick it back up when a voice finally responds. It's far more convenient than trudging all the way to the base unit to activate the speakerphone. There are lots of other uses as well, such as putting the whole family on the phone to talk to grandma or grandpa, or conducting a business call with several folks in the room.

Additional features include a 50-call memory and speed dial directory accessible through the handset's three-line backlit LCD, directory sharing with other handsets, caller IQ compatibility (the subscription service gives you screen updates on weather, sports scores, horoscopes, and more), three ringer patterns and four ringer melodies, and an antenna that lights up when the phone rings. The KX-TG5210M measures 4.9 by 9.2 by 10.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
