Customer Reviews

Charger broke within 2 months of purchase
The only good thing I can state about this item is the option to do black & white internally. That was nice. Within 2 months of purchase the charger stopped working completely so I couldn't charge it. Also almost every picture I took blurred unless I had perfect lighting. I purchased this camera from Office Depot which I also highly recommend not doing. When I told them about my problems with the camera (I bought a protection plan and was completely lied to about the perks of the plan) they told me I could wait a year (or at this time 10 months) to get a gift card for the store for the amount of the camera... so I had to go out and spend extra money to replace this camera. A lot of effort for a camera I wished I had never purchased.

Camera OK, but you won't be able to recharge it
I had the most abysmal experience with this camera's charger. First of all, the battery never seemed to be able to hold a charge. After a few shots, the indicator would read "battery low." Being fairly new to digital cameras, I thought this was a common experience. But after charging the battery a few times, it seemed that the charger broke, and would not recharge the battery at all. The red indicator light on the charger would stay on and never turn green. Frustrated, I took to the Internet, only to discover many other folks who experienced the exact same problem with this particular model. In addition, it seems Vivitar consistently gets low marks not only for its digital camera products, but also for its customer service. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing another one of their products again, and I have a new, highly-rated Panasonic on its way.

In its defense, the camera actually did take decent photos, while it worked. I'm not a professional or even a serious amateur by any means, and most of my shots are casual; also, as an amateur botanist I take close-ups of plants and flowers. This camera was fine for that; unfortunately, because of the charger/battery issues, it seems to have a very limited use potential. For that reason, I can't give it more than one star. I understand that this model is no longer in production, so don't waste your money on a used one, even at a bargain price.

If your target is moving, you might want to pass on this one
If you want to take pictures of flowers or other non moving objects, this camera could be just fine.
However, the first and second shot delays are abysmal. In other words, unless the object you want to shoot is completely inanimate, forget about it. It is also horrid in low light.
And the deal breaker: my charger broke shortly after I started using it. I determined that the camera was not good enough to look into fixing the problem.
Yep it's a cheap camera but could be worth it to you to save up for something that will NOT take a few mediocre pictures and then not charge back up.
