| masterb8's Full Review: Vivitar ViviCam 3715 Digital Camera |
This was a Walmart special from April 2003. I almost returned the camera due to the batteries being loose in the compartment and causing the camera to not function. Messing around with it like all boys do, I managed to put a temporary bridge in place fixing the problem. It works with that little piece of metal.
Man does this camera eat the batteries though. I try to keep the LCD screen off and that seems to help. Cold weather? Fahgeddaboudit. This thing even eats batteries when it's left in the drawer. Or maybe the power-on button is too easy to depress...
And the flash... jimminees that thing takes a long time to charge.
I can never get my resolution choice to stay. It will stay put while the power is on, and then revert back to default when I turn off the camera. I find this to be rather annoying since it forces me to go back into the menu and select my options once again.
Still, at the time it was an excellent buy. I guess that the thing still works should count for something.
