Bottom Barrel Service History
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mustek DV3500 was the camera that was used when the Bottom Of The Barrel had began, The video quality was shitty (As with Low End Video Cameras) but the sound quality was viable, It had a odd video ratio (352x288) that filmed in 30FPS and the videos we're recorded in .asf format. It did take decent pictures and it had MP3 playing and sound recording capabilites.
This camera survived being dropped onto a trap pad (in Early May 2008) and it still worked until it was taken out of service, It was relegated to backup in Mid to Late March 2009 when the Mustek DV316L was put into service.
This camera was used to film numerous videos (Raw And Edited Footage) that will never see the light of day (Safety and Copyright reasons), It was withdrawn from service after Riding Mower Action 2 was filmed (At roughly the Same Time that the Mustek DV316L was withdrawn from service due to the Kodak Zi6 having entered service).
After the camera had stopped working in October 2009 it was disassembled and footage of the dead disassembled camera was Featured in How A Low End Flash Memory Digital Video Camera Works.
The camera was Officially Retired on August 19, 2010 (The footage filmed after editing became the Official 100th video when uploaded to YouTube on November 19, 2011).
That Camera had Served long and Served Me Well at the time Good Riddance to that shitty video quality.
