4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera, July 27, 2005

I've had this camera for a little over a year, and I love it.

Pros:
-Beautiful pictures, indoors or out
-Great pictures even in low-light conditions
-Outstanding flash
-Easy to use. My 4 year old niece can take great pictures on this camera.
-Movie mode is only limited by how much memory you have.

Cons:
-Zoom is fair, could be better.
-Start up time, depending on battery, can be quite slow.
-Batteries go quite quickly. Get rechargeables.


The battery latch on my camera broke about 5 months ago. I've still used it, it hasn't affected the camera. I just tape up the battery latch.

All in all, I recommend this camera. The pictures are equal to those of a 5MP camera. It is also very easy to use, like I mentioned before, so it is a great first time camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little first time digital camera, October 12, 2004

I bought this for my Dad for Xmas last year. He was very anti-digital camera, even for point and shoot use (as was I) but I thought it would at least be a toy for him. He LOVES it! My parents run a day care center, and they use it all the time. They do not edit pictures, but they do take a lot of photos and print them off of the kids daily. They make a little photo album of each child every few weeks for the child's parents. They have found it easy to use, good pic quality up to a 5X7, okay quality up to 8X10. They haven't had probelms with batteries, although it is true that the batteries don't last very long. You could take this on a day trip and it would last without a doubt though. Also you can just buy batteries at the dollar store and keep an extra set with you, and that way it doesn't get expensive. Overall it's a great little camera for the price, I am also planning on buying one for myself the next time they go on sale :)

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good camera, September 8, 2004

I love my Vivitare Vivicam. I have know downloaded over 130 pictures to my computer. The pictures are very clear. The first day I used my camera I used up four AA batteries, but then I bought two rechargeable AA batts. and a charger and I have been using that camera every day and the two AA's have lasted over five days now. My mom also really loves this camera, she wants to get one herself. But I recommend this digital camera for people who have never had a digital camera before.
