Mustek MDC530z Digital Camera
Mustek MDC530Z digital camera boasts 2560 x 1920 resolution, a 2.0-inch LCD, 3X optical zoom AF lens, and exciting MPEG4 moviemaking. Mustek MDC Series digital cameras have won several international awards, including the 2004 DIMA Digital Camera Shoot Out. The Mustek MDC530Z digital camera continues that award-winning tradition with an array of features that make it stand out in a crowded market.
The Mustek MDC530Z digital camera’s 5-megapixel CCD has low noise and a superior dynamic range for better tonal quality, more natural skin tones and smoother gradations when compared to conventional CCDs. Mustek’s know-how has succeeded in accommodating this larger CCD into a compact, stainless steel body (3.5″ x 2.4″ x 1.1″). Available resolutions are 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 1280 x 960 and 640 x 480 in JPEG format perfect for large-scale colour-rich printing. Hardware interpolation extends resolution choice to 7MB performance (3072 x 2304)
The generously proportioned 2.0-inch LCD is big enough to share photos and video clips with friends at the camera without having to download images to a PC monitor to enjoy. The TFT-LCD brings to life images with its 882 x 228 pixel resolution, plus provides a larger display for clearer reading of menus.)
The Mustek MDC530Z digital camera ’s all-glass optics maximizes the performance of the CCD for fine, detailed images, even in close-up. The consistently sharp AF lens (F=2.8-4.8, f=5.4-16.2mm) has an auto focal range from 1.5m to infinity, plus allows photographers to use the 3x optical zoom in conjunction with a 4x digital zoom to seamlessly extend shooting range to 12X zoom.)
Intelligent, easy to navigate manual controls give more experienced photographers opportunities to be creative. These include fine-tuning white balance, exposure and flash settings, plus a host of scene modes that automatically control colour reproduction, contrast, and sharpness to assure ideal photographic results in sometimes tricky shooting conditions.)
Mustek is a leader and innovator in digital convergence technology. It has brought this extensive knowledge to the Mustek MDC530Z digital camera in the form of 320 x 240 resolution MPEG4 moviemaking, and in the ability to use the camera as a PC Cam for Internet video chat, video e-mail and creating video clips for uploading to personal websites. Software such as Microsoft Net Meeting instantly transforms the Mustek MDC530Z digital camera into a videoconferencing camera.)
