I bought this camera for all the sporting events i go to, mostly because I wanted to be able to zoom in and get close, well not with this camera, the colors are off when you recieve the pictures. When you don't zoom in they come out alright, but when you do use the zoom to 2x (it goes to 4x) your pictures come out all blurry and horendous, don't even try 4x, its horrible, it may be a good price, but not good quality

4.0 out of 5 stars The Vivitar 3750 Has No Optical Zoom, November 7, 2005

This review is from: Vivitar Vivicam 3750 3.2MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

Last summer I was searching for a camera to snap pictures of my trip overseas and I came across the Vivicam 3750 on this website. I quickly bought the camera and used it non-stop over the following month. Recently, I wondered how the Vivicam compares with some new cameras in the same price range. After a few minutes of searching I decided that the Kodak Easyshare camera is a close comparison to the Vivicam as I compared the internal memory, photo quality, the type of lens, and eventually the camera's price.

When I searched for a camera my first criteria was the optical quality or the amount of mega-pixels that the camera has, which specifies the size of the image that the camera can take. The Vivicam has 3.1 mega-pixels and it can take quality photographs up to 8 x 10-inches. Cameras in a higher price range only went up to 6 mega-pixels, so I was getting a good deal. The Kodak Easyshare camera has a slightly higher figure at 3.2 mega-pixels and it can take photo-quality pictures up to 10 x 13-inches of picture. This was not a big point of contention for me because when I turned on the Vivicam I changed the quality to the lowest setting so I could take more pictures.

Another criteria for buying a camera is its internal memory. Both the Vivicam and the Easyshare accept SD memory cards, and the Vivicam additionally seems to accept MMC memory cards. Both cameras only have 16 megabytes of internal memory so the additional memory is essential.

I did not consider the type of lens and optics at the point of sale but I intend to consider this in the future. The Easyshare camera has a 3x optical zoom lens in addition to its 3.3x digital zoom software while the Vivicam can only use digital zoom which enlarges up to 4 times by intentionally blurring the picture. After using the Vivicam for more than a month I realize that digital zoom does not make up for the lack of optical zoom, especially when photographing.

Basically the Kodak Easyshare would have been a much better choice for me to buy since I would have enjoyed its optical zoom feature while snapping things around town, and it is the same price that I originally bought the Vivicam at a few months ago. All of the other features were roughly parallel in these two cameras.
