| dsantos08's Full Review: Vivitar ViviCam 3715 Digital Camera |
INTRO:
I bought this camera during the holiday season when it was on sale for 88 dollars. I thought it was a steal since i was getting a 3 megapixel for under a 100 bucks.
USING THE CAMERA:
When i first put the batteries in, the noticed that the LCD was really dim which seemed abnormal. So i went back to the store to return it and exchange it for another one. To my surprize, the new camera also had a dim LCD. Well i guess you get what you pay for.
The camera uses 2 AA's and it goes thru them rather quick. Batteries usually last about 10-15 mins depending if you use flash or not. But the real ANNOYANCE is that everytime you replace the batteries the DATE and TIME reset on the camera. So you got to reset that everytime which can be a major hassel and drawback especially if youre trying to take a picture of something right away.
FINAL ADVICE:
Well for 88 bucks the camera is well worth it. You cannot really expect much more because you get what you pay for. If i had the chance to cough up a few bucks more to get a better camera, i would do it in an instant. But if youre on a budget than go for it. It isnt that bad once you get over having to replace the battery every 15 mins and dealing with the dim LCD.
