| baranch's Full Review: Vivitar ViviCam 3715 Digital Camera |
Potentially this looked like a decent little camera. I bought it after my 3 year old Epson broke. The 3 megapixels are great, and its compatible with my Mac without having to install drivers. It's relatively easy to use (no easier than my old camera), and takes good pictures, and is small and light.
The camera eats batteries nonstop, but I use rechargeables, and always have 2 sets of spares, so I could live with that. The memory is abysmal, and a memory card, though available, is not included.
I returned my first one to the store after two weeks. I had deleted all my images, but kept getting the message "MEMORY FULL". My new one worked for a few weeks then the same thing happened. I was able to eke out a few more pictures by fiddling with the settings, and was able to delete those pictures a couple of times, but can't seem to do that any more. Also, when I try to change the settings, they instantly revert back to the default settings.
I e-mailed the company twice and have had no response.
