5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera for the price, November 19, 2005

I just received this camera and love it. It is small and light-weight, and takes great pictures. It also uses SD cards up to 512 MB so you have plenty of storage for photos.

This camera does everything I need it to do and has a built-in flash, several flash modes, red eye reduction, a self timer, date and time stamp, and the capability to take video/movie clips.

The camera worked instantly with both my Apple ibook and my PC and the photos were great.

Just two notes - 1) it takes several shots to get used to taking super pix. You can manually adjust the shutter speed and if you have the speed too slow, you will get fuzzy pictures unless you are perfectly still. So, I just use the auto shutter feature, and 2) the camera does NOT come with a power adapter so you have to use lots of batteries unless you buy the AC adapter separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little beauty, March 8, 2006

My first digital camera was a Sony Mavica, the photos were OK but after a few yrs I started to get disapointed in the quality. While in Walmart I seen this 5 MP Vivitar for only $147. I got it along with some batteries and a 128 SD card all for $200. Ive had the camera for almost a year now and Im just blown away with the quality of the photos, sunrises are unbelieable. Its always worked, very rugged and durable, and yea the thing is battery hungry, so I buy my AA's in bulk and also hav the rechargables. The movie mode I dont use it much I hav a mini DV for that. I was a little embarassed cuz its not a name brand high dollar unit, but if you can liv with that, its a great little camera and how u gonna beat that price? You cant!

This is an ok camera in my opinion. Not a bad camera, just didn't meet my standards! When I first got it I was just so excited to have a camera since my last one was stolen, that I loved it. After a while of using it I noticed a few flaws that I was dissappointed with! At times the flash can be really harsh, and if you turn the flash off, you are 90% guarenteed to have a blurry picture! The 10% chance of a decent picture is if it is completly still like on self timer mode, but still the quality just isn't that great with out the flash. Close ups are not much of an option!! I like to take pictures of flowers but that was near impossible with this camera, you couldn't get close enough without it being blurry and over exposed from the flash! But on a good note, I have gotten some good pics from this camera, it's easy to use and it's not too big. It's a good choice if you just wanna take average photos of friends and family and just everyday life, but for those artistic photographs I love to take, I just wasn't satisfied. I am now lookig for another camera to meet my needs!
