Pros: ok, if you don't need to take a great picture, or of anything with details
Cons: kills batteries, very fragile structurally, essentially no zoom, the picture quality is bad (colors, sharpness..)
The Bottom Line: Try to find a better camera, because you may be disappointed with the picture quality and the durability of this camera.

| supplanter's Full Review: Vivitar ViviCam 3550 Digital Camera |
Focusing is virtually out of the question. This camera will not take detailed pictures. For example, if you want to take a picture of a beautiful piece of jewelry, or something with detail, it will not focus on it.
Using the LCD monitor is not very useful, for it is off-center. If you use the monitor, you will find that you will have a portion of your picture cropped off.
This camera is very fragile, my battery cover broke on me without much prodding.
I had an embarrassing moment at a ceremony where I was taking a picture in front of a large audience of people (of my husband shaking a judge's hand), and the picture wouldn't take - as the batteries were dead. Batteries that had never been used...
It does takes very broad pictures, and is better than nothing, if you didn't pay for it yourself =) I suppose, but painful to explain to the person who did pay for it that it is not that great.
As far as downloading pictures to the computer, the pictures come out in somewhat off colors, and are somewhat fuzzy.
So, it's better than nothing I suppose, but definitely not useful for someone who needs to take pictures of any sort of detail.
