DV5000

We didn't think they could get better, but the new DV camera is the best yet, featuring 4.1MP resolution and an astounding seven functions! The new DV5000 does everything you could possibly want a digital camera/camcorder to do. Use it as a camcorder, still camera, MP3 player, voice recorder, PC cam, video camera and even a USB portable disk! All from a sexy silver gizmo small enough to slip in your breast pocket! You can be sure of high quality images and footage with the DV5000 too. It boasts 4.1 megapixels hardware resolution for the clearest shots – that's true pixilation, not from software enhancement. The DV5000 also features real time video recording, and its up to the minute MPEG4 technology helps to reduce file size and enhance video recording time. Although it's probably the most compact DV camera ever at 9 x 6.5 x 4cm, small certainly doesn't mean fiddly. The DV5000 has its own 1.5” TFT LCD screen that acts as both an easy to use viewfinder and an instant playback screen. There's also a builtin flash, and a 4x digital zoom. The DV5000 offers the choice of black and white photography and film, and sepia or mosaic effects, in addition to standard colour. And with three software programs included for free, you can create virtually any look you want for your images and video footage. Plus thanks to the builtin microphone and voice recorder function, you can add a soundtrack to your minimovies too. With an impressive 32MB onboard memory, you can shoot up to 9 minutes of video footage and store an astounding 450 low res images without memory expansion! But the DV5000 is compatible with both SD and MMC cards, so if you're looking to store more hi res footage or pics, it's as easy as sticking a card in a slot. Unlike many DV cameras, the DV5000 doesn't have a builtin rechargeable battery, but uses standard AA batteries. The great thing about this is you can take your camera on day trips or on holiday and take a spare set of batteries with you; that way if you're on the beach and miles from a power point, you won't miss out on shooting that stunning bit of ‘scenery'. With more functions than you can shake a proverbial stick at, the DV5000 isn't the best choice for complete digital camera novices, but you don't need a degree in photographic technology to operate it either. It comes with a comprehensive instruction manual and installation CD to help you get snapping, filming and sound recording superquickly. The DV5000 includes a carry pouch, cables and a tripod, allowing you to be the star of your own movie. And if there's something we've forgotten to mention so far, just take a look at the full spec below. We're pretty damn sure that whatever you want to do it with a digicam, you can do with the DV5000.
