My Dad bought a 3550 and in 3 months the camera went dead so he sent it into vivitar who said thay never got it well around 20 emails later and a report to the better business
and a copy of the postal recept with a sig. of one of the employes we got the camera back, well 2 months later dead camera again decided to buy a new cannon . and turn the vivitar into a card reader. Btw the flash unit melted down glad it didnt start a fire I guess that is the kinda crap you can sell if you are Vivitar
