I've only had this camera for about a week, and I think it's a great little camera. Compact yet clear video. I haven't used all its functions yet, but I mostly bought it for the video feature to capture the little moments of my children's lives. There is a lag when taking photos. It doesn't do well with fast moving kids. They need to be perfectly still for a few seconds and you need to have a very steady hand to take the photo.

I do like the image stabilization feature, but the downside to that is you can't use zoom in that mode. Bummer. **EDIT** I must have done something wrong when I first tried it, but the zoom does work with the image stabilization on.

Also, I noticed that the battery got really warm after about 15 minutes of continuous use. I don't know if that's normal, but I'll see how that goes when I take a continuous video for over an hour. I bought a 4GB SD memory card to record more than the internal memory allows.

Overall, it's a great product for the price I paid. So compact and easy to take with you anywhere.

The video this shoots is of fair quality, however the photos leave something to be desired. Every picture I take is hazy and the colors muted. My cheap digital camera takes better pictures than this one and it was half the cost.

It starts out seeming like a great camera for a great price. But for whatever reason the video format that it uses doesn't always work when you're trying to play it on the computer (and maybe even elsewhere). The photos seem fine at first but you end up wanting more in the end. You'll never want to use the mp3 player after trying it once.

Don't even bother with this camera. I'm sure you can either get a better one for the same price or pay a little bit extra and have some peace of mind. It will seem like it's great at first but you will be more than disappointed after some time.

This freakin crap was a waste of 80 bucks!!! DON'T FREAKIN GET THIS CAMRA THERE ARE BETTER ONES THAT ARE CHEAPER THAN THIS!!! 7mp my but!!!! The camara is just as good as my phone camara. The video really sucks cause there is some sort of yellowish bar that takes up a quarter of my videos for some freakin reason. After about a week of using it, the freakin thing broke. It wasn't show pictures or anything. I kept trying to turn it on but all it showed was the static thing just like how a TV is on an off-air channel. I even called the manufacturer and they told me they will call me back...WHAT THE HECK??? They will never call me back. It's been 2 years...VIVITAR IS A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN SEVERAL TIMES OR SOMETHING!!! DO NOT TRUST VIVITAR!!! I am going to do everything I can to show people that VIVITAR is no good. It's a great concept, but it isn't ergonomic, it's so flimsy, the camara isn't all that great, the buttons suck, it's slow...JUST DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING IT. If you guys don't trust me you can even email me or aim me to ask about it, I'll try to post it on youtube to show you guys...
