“Battery life not as bad as I thought it would be !”

Written on: 14/06/2012 by HouseProtectors

I had read on other reviews that the DV5000 has poor battery life, but not in my tests. I fully charged 2 2700 batteries and the camera recorded happily for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Admittedly I just let it run, with no turning on & off ... but this is a good length of up time for just 2 AA's. Overall the camera is basic, but fun for keeping in your pocket.

This all makes for some grand footage and good memories. However, the picture quality, when connected to view through the TV was very poor. It was... (read more)

I like all of the Mustek products. I bought a Mustek DV3000 digital camera, and I had the driver, but I lost it and I don't have any other way of installing the camera, Does anyone here know where I can get it from? (read more)

The reviewer should not be using this place to look for lost drivers. This is a waste of readers' time, and there are forums which are the appropriate place for this kind of thing.
