MITSUBA® 3.1 MP DIGITAL CAMERA / VIDEO CAMCORDER /quality ,functioning?

I too have never heard of this camera and I work in the industry..... I would not even entertain buying any camera that is only listed on auction/overstocked/bargainbasement webby sites... not to say you couldnt get some good deals on them... but they would have to be major brand makes.


A reference point for digital cameras and reviews on them I would normally read these sites http://www.dpreview.com/ , http://www.dcresource.com/ or http://www.dcviews.com/ as the best sites on the net, other than that I do get to play with alot of cameras when I get time, mostly from Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Samsung, Pentax, etc etc

 

Hey thats perfectly OK Markkk... I can only give you my thoughts on the camera you listed, sadly I cannot get hold of one through the distributers we use in work as they havnt heard of this camera either ( me being in UK ) so I couldnt give you a review on how its taken pictures printed out using high end mini-lab equipment.

ok they have only had a small proportion of cameras back but that was only within a 26 day period so doesnt really equal the return rates from the major brands who have had models in circulation over 12 months ( lets see this figure in 12 months time? ) plus the total sold vs returns for majors and that brand....

one thing to think about is the major part of any digital camera is its CCD different brands have diferent ways of using this NOT all 3.1mp CCDs are the same some give better quality pictures than others... Olympus, Fuji, Kodak, Nikon and Canon are all first rate when used in conjunction with pro lab printers and the max MP rate the camera will use, eg. any of the above cameras with min 2mp will give a superb 6x4 print and proberbly be passable at 7x5, 3.1mp will give superb 7x5 upto possibly 10x7 ( look closely tho and pixelation can be seen in slightly underexposed shots ).


with this camera being not widely known in the market place and return or user reviews even rarer you would be taking a risk, maybe the camera will be just what you need or wanted in relation to functions, the choice is yours


quick question tho... is your primary function for a digital camera a video one or is that a secondary task you want it to perform? I ask this as if its secondary to a still digital, most digitals take mini movies these days.

if you get one Markkk let me know I'd be interested in your review of it and any samples you could post.

 

Nice camera Mark

yes the various media cards are a pain in the ass sometimes... I end up spending 30mins or more trying to help clients of ours decypher the various types... needless to say the one that comes with your camera is normally the only type you can use so if its a sony memory stick thats the only one that camera will take so forget the rest ( unless its a high end camera like the Fuji S2 Pro which takes a few different cards ) then we go onto the various makes of memory sticks.. sony, lexar, sandisk etc


a quick bit of info on memory cards and a list of popular memory sticks plus a limited few reviews on said cards
