From what I can gather the time is only available once you download the .jpg onto your computer you can then tell when the shot was taken. The camera is easy to use, but I did have it "hang up" on me today, in automatic mode, having just taken a picture, there I was with the lens out, and no apparent power on the camera. Resolved it by removing the battery momentarily, then it powered up and I was able to switch off and retract the lens. Downside was that the foto was not on the camera when I downloaded them later. I like the Photovista software though - had fun with it, and it gave really good results. All in all I am pleased with the camera, and at £199 it feels like a bargain to me - functional and fun.

I have just purchased the traveler 5300 from aldi , I am new to digital photos but im not to impressed with the indoor flash photos i have taken they are quite dull and even duller when i try and print them off. Any tips or tricks would be great t
Thanks in advance David.

I received a medion digital camera for christmas from aldi's. it had quality pictures and software... the only problem, which is a very very big problem is that the batteries go dead within a short amount of time. the first time i used it it took not quite 2 hours for it to go dead.. i figured it was generic batteries and the use of LCD... then the second set of batteries i used last week went dead within an hour... thought it was the batteries were not brand new. yesterday brand new kodac, very good batteries went dead within 30 minutes. i tried to contact aldi's and will call the suuport number. has anyone else had this problem?

Don't know which model camera you have. But battery drain always a problem. As you say, LCD eats batteries. 2 hours for fully charged batteries sounds about right. Only suggestion I can make is get some high capacity rechargeable batteries, say from Maplin, and carry spare sets. I have tried several cameras and 1/2 hours is about normal (if using LCD. Hope this helps

If your are looking for more info on the camera it is sold by the following manufacturer's as the , Vivitar 3930, Premier dc5331-0 , Centon dc5 , Benq c50 , Toshiba pdr5300 , go to google and type in the names of the manufacture's
Hope this help's

well i have been using my parents digital camera before this one, the batteries lasted alot longer and it also had LCD. so i was suspicous. then in the past few days i put in a brand new set of batteries and within two minutes it said replace batteries, so most likely this is a malfunction and hopefully somehow i can get it resolved. thanks for your message. i went out and got rechargable digital camera batteries soi don't keep wasting money.

Brilliant. I looked for 2 years for the right digicam and wanted 5mp but all had something wrong, either size or price. The battery is Fujifilm NP60 or equivalent (3.7v 950mAh or 900mAh). Best price for spare battery is Jessops, but only 900mAh and £23.99 Jan 2004. Extremely pleased with camera, picture quality, size and features. Jessops model DC5 is identical but only has 32mb card. Aldi gives you 128mb for same price, £199.99.

Hi can anyone Help
Bought DC5300 and I'm having problems getting pictures into WIN 98 PC.
Tried installing driver off CD it appears to finish successfully but I can't see 'removable disk' in 'my computer'.
Contacted Traveler web site downloaded help text
Can't see 'USB' in Camera monitor as indicated on help instructions .. is it the cable!!
I have previously installed Kodak software on the
for a friend to use my computer to store his digital pictures.
Can I only have one Digital Camera source for my computer and // or is it a Driver conflict ?
If I have to remove all 'conflicting 'Dig Camera drivers how do I uninstall all drivers and start from scratch.
Also no email option on web site which suprised me
Any ideas ?

George, I too have had this problem of no removeable disc showing. I found that you have to follow the instructions exactly, some times I had to try a couple of times. Suspect it concerns just when you switch on the camera.
I know that drivers do sometimes conflict, but you need someone more expert than myself to advise on this. Hope you get sorted. I do think that the camera is excellent though.

Have just purchased the DC5300 from my local Aldi for £199.00
They still have 4 left if anyone is interested !!
I'm very pleased with the camera, once you get to know it - know what lighting conditions require what settings on the camera - the whole camera just shines a head and shoulders above others in its price bracket.
Excellent picture quality, excellent functionality and easy to use intuiative access to each function.
Very much recommended / will see what Aldi come up with next xmas !!
