1.0 out of 5 stars Vivitar Should Be Cast Into the Deepest Pit of Hell, September 29, 2006

Being a camera aficionado and collector, I picked this up at Walmart to play around with. Even THAT'S not possible... see, there's no support for Mac OS X. Vivitar's website claims no driver is needed for OS X, that an icon appears on the desktop in Classic Mode. That's a cynical, damnable LIE! Until some similarly-wronged Code Warrior writes a driver for this, I can't affirm to you that the dynamic range of this sweetheart sucks eggs, but that's what I've been told.

It really deserves negative stars. I used to love Vivitar SLR stuff. Now they don't even answer email inquiries and complaints. Vivitar should be cast into the deepest pit of Hell for all eternity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another - case of can't download pictures from camera, January 8, 2007

This review is from: VIVITAR VIVICAM 55 Digital Camera (Electronics)

This was a Christmas present for my son. I am in complete agreement with the other reviewers. It seemed like a great starter camera for my son and the price was right. But it is completely useless*********** Save your money!!!

I followed the instruction on the software CD provided (more than once). It seemed very simple but when I open the Dual Camera software, it will show me the pictures in the camera, but then locks up. The program becomes unresponsive. I have been working with this for hours and am completely frustated. If any one has been able to find a way to get the pictures downloaded please help!!!!!!!!!!!
