Mustek DV300T digital camera looks like a cellphone, isn't

Mustek isn't exactly known for its high-end cameras, and its new DV300T model sure looks to be no exception, although it at least attempts to make up for its shortcomings with versatility, not to mention a decidedly non-digital camera-like package. Those shortcomings begin with a max 3.1 megapixel resolution for still images and no optical zoom to speak of, but you will be able to use the device as a PMP, a voice recorder, and an e-book reader, although we're sure even Mustek must have had a chuckle at including that as one of the "6-in1" features. No word on a price, but if Mustek's past cameras are any indication, you likely won't have to worry about breaking the bank account on this one.

Yes, but it's designed to be ONE HANDED! Why are most (if not all) other camera's still two handed as if we had to hold them up and look through a view-finder. This is one the most glaring leftovers from old design on the market. I would love a good ONE HANDED camera. (I know you can use cameras today with one hand, but they are not designed that way).

I like the design, pity about the 3.1Mp tho, and who would bother watching films/reading books on the tiny lame ass screen? FAILURE

If this is for middle income countries' market like India etc. it makes sense. Maybe they should have made it kid oriented .. for kids into music and taking pictures whose parents can't afford cellphones for them may find it useful. That is, if it costs under $20.

This camera must be for Samuel L. Jackson, because anyone going around taking pictures of Spider-man in action has got to be one bad MF!
