Pros: Low price. Convenient size and shape.
Cons: Poor quality. Quickly consumes batteries. No picture viewer on camera.
The Bottom Line: I would avoid this camera. It is cheap but there are other cameras of equally low price that perform better than this product.

| dingmann's Full Review: Umax Astracam MTMD-84500 DV Camcorder |
Camera has been marginal to poor. After taking a few shots, the camera would act erratically and shut off instead of taking a picture. I could only take around 50 pictures before changing batteries. (The battery charge level indication has never shown anything less than a full charge so it has been useless.) The camera was sent back to UMAX for exchange and the replacement camera was just as bad.
Not having a viewer on the camera requires the user to get to a TV or computer to see the results of their photo taking. This is especially annoying when the batteries get low and the photos turn out completely black regardless of lighting.
After now having this camera for almost 2 years, it will not take clear photos anymore.
