Mustek 832z Review



Click to take a QTVR tour of the 832Z
At the heart of the MDC832Z is its impressive 8.0 megapixel CCD image sensor. Combined with the all-glass, 3X optical zoom AF lens the CCD captures TIFF and JPEG images with stunning clarity in resolutions up to 3264 x 2448 pixels for printouts up to 11" x 17" size. In addition to photography, the MDC832Z works as a digital camcorder or web camera capable of 30 frame-per-second, VGA-resolution video. As simple to use as a traditional "point-and-shoot" film camera, the MDC832Z is equipped with a range of automatic controls that significantly flatten the learning curve for novices, such as super-fast autofocus, auto exposure, auto white balance, and auto flash, along with a handy "scene mode" that instantly adjusts the camera to the optimal setting for portraits, sports, night-time and landscapes to assure perfect pictures in challenging conditions. For the more sophisticated shooter there is a rich array of manual controls that encourage the creative vision. These include manual white balance (daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent), black & white and polarized digital effects, exposure compensation, and manual control of the flash (red-eye reduction, forced, suppressed). In addition, the photographer can choose from various resolution settings (fine, normal. economy) to meet their quality and memory requirements.
Rounding out the MDC832Z's feature set is a crystal-clear 2.0 inch TFT-LCD (882 x 228
pixels) perfect for sharing photos with family and friends, a self-timer that puts the
photographer in the picture, and a lightning-fast USB 2.0 interface for downloading photos
and video to a Windows or Macintosh computer. Built into the camera is 32MB of internal
flash memory along with a slot to fit SD cards up to 1GB.
