  • Vivitar Vivicam: Good Beginner Camera but Heavy on Batteries

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 28, 2000
    Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, viewfinder (with option to turn off), great customer service
    Cons: Battery life, picture resolution, lighting problems, sturdiness of camera

    Summary: The Vivitar Vivicam 2700 is a good camera for beginners on a budget, but will disappoint more experienced users. And unless you invest in an a/c adapter, you better buy stock in Energizer... because those batteries just keep going, and going, and ... read more

    Dec 29, 2002
    Pros: price & style
    Cons: This Vivitar is the worst possible quality

    Summary: I thought Vivitar was a good brand, so blamed myself for the battery usage and the battery compartment door that broke just a couple of mos. after I got the camera as a gift. It took me several months of emailing and calling, then finally just returning ... read more

  • My Little "Battery Eater"

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 5, 2001
    Pros: Great Digital Camera for beginners.
    Cons: A real battery eater!

    Summary: I am not a camera expert and do not claim to be. I have never owned a "good" camera in my life. But I decided that I just had to have a digital camera so that I could easily email photos to family members in other states. I ran across my ... read more

    Pros: easy to use, software easy to install
    Cons: no a/c adapter, eats batteries, doesn't last long

    Summary: A few years ago my parents bought me a 2700 Vivitar Digital Camera. I was thrilled to recieve it. I did my best to take care of it. But soon the battery door wouldn't close right to make contact with the batteries. My dad glued the metal battery part ... read more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 22, 2000
    Pros: Cheap, digital, simple to use
    Cons: Bad quality pictures, very battery-hungry

    Summary: My Vivitar 2700 is now broken - the battery door is gone, and the display is cracked - but I can honestly say I don't miss it much. I bought it at an online auction for about $100, so it didn't set me back much, but I was also very disappointed with it. ... read more

  • Exposed Film Anyone?

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 5, 2000
    Pros: easy to use
    Cons: film does not advance

    Summary: If you want a cheap camera that won't advance the film leading to exposed rolls and ruined memories, then this is the camera for you. I wanted to buy an inexpensive camera that was simple to operate and cheap enough that I didn't have to worry about ... read more

  • Try a Little TLC

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 11, 2000
    Pros: Good digital camera for the price paid.
    Cons: Would have been nice to have an adapter included.

    Summary: I have owned my Vivitar 2700 for 19 months and had very little problems with it. True, it does eat standard batteries quickly, but I went to the rechargeable type and can get 50-80 standard pics from one set. I usually carry two extra sets for it ... read more

    Mar 30, 2000
    Pros: NONE
    Cons: Poor Picture, cheaply made, not reliable, high battery drain

    Summary: This was my first digital camera, and considering all of my problems with it, nearly my last. I primarily bought this to use for auction photos, and did not expect a high quality picture. I did however expect some reliability from it. Within 30 days, the ... read more

  • Buyer Beware!!

    Mar 24, 2000
    Pros: inexpensive, nice LCD display with decent options
    Cons: poorly made, eats batteries, pictures are not always the right color

    Summary: I have owned a Vivitar 2700N camera now for about 10 months. At first I thought that this was a decent deal. I paid about $160.00 for the camera and at that time I thought that I had made a good decision. When I got the camera the software ... read more

    Jan 25, 2000
    Pros: Good price, fairly easy to use and upload pic's to the computer, has LCD screen for viewing photos
    Cons: Poor picture quality, large and bulky camera, disposes of batteries in a flash

    Summary: I have been waiting on this camera from Onsale (Egghead) for weeks, it got lost at UPS but now I wish it would have just stayed "lost"! Overall, my rating for this camera is fair-poor. **The camera itself is large and bulky, but ... read more

    Jan 24, 2000
    Pros: Cost
    Cons: Quality

    Summary: Being limited on the amount of cash available to spend on a digital camera, the price on the Vivitar 2700 convinced me that this is what a beginner needed to begin digital photography. The camera is lightweight and easy to use, however every time you ... read more

    Pros: low cost
    Cons: breaks after two months, not durable as expected, turned out to be a heap of junk

    Summary: This was the worst thing I have ever decided to buy. I really wanted a digital camera so that I can put my pictures on the computer and email to friends. I shopped around and looked at various digital camera but a lot were out of my price range. I saw ... read more

    Pros: None
    Cons: Everything

    Summary: I bought a Vivitar ViviCam 2700 because I was in a hurry to get a digital camera because it seemed to be the thing to do at the time, and this camera was inexpensive. I truly got what I paid for. This thing eats batteries like an elephant eats
