This review is from: Vivitar ViviCam 3930 5.25MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

First I received the camera and found an oversea's power adaptor in the box, and without a converter to use it! Upon numerous phone calls and emails, the converter was sent to me, but not without making me feel like I overlooked such a detail when purchasing it. After having it for a short time I am not real pleased with the pictures-either they are too dark or too washed out (or too bright). I am not sure if I am really that camera-illiterate or the camera is not working properly. So far, I have not been happy with this camera.

This review is from: Vivitar ViviCam 3930 5.25MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I also received the overseas adapter, however, instead of calling up Vivitar, I called the company who sent it (Tiger Direct if you read the details) and the adaptor was sent immediately. But also, it does not come with a 16mb SD card as advertised, it's 32mb! No complaining there. Photo software does not support the camera itself. Photo quality is good, battery is working well after a few months, and the 4x digital zoom looks amazing even when all the way zoomed in. Amazon might want to be more careful about their details here...this camera has not slot for AA batteries.

I would say I was also misled... with an overseas adapter. Need less to say... it should CLEARLY designate the product if that's what is being sold! I had to buy a universal adapter from Radio Shack.

At this point; the camera seems to work fine.
