  • A great little camera for the price tag!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 14, 2003
    Pros: small, lightweight, versatile, and functional. Good value
    Cons: battery life, directional buttons are hard to get right, no ac adapter included.

    Summary: Our first digital camera was a little polaroid that got about 1/4 megapixel for resolution (320 X 280 around there?) without a flash. Then we stepped up to a Vivicam 3500. It was only 1.2 megapixels. It had a flash and took pretty decent pictures, but had ... read more

    Cons: Picture lag, dim LCD, below avg picture quality

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: cheap to buy
    Cons: EXPENSIVE to use

    Summary: I was unlucky enough to receive one of these cameras as a present. Although the pictures is takes are acceptable, the overriding problem with the camera is the short battery life. I bought a Maxell recharger and 4 rechargeable batteries to go along with ... read more

  • What a LITTLE STINKER--Bought Two--Both Melted

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 10, 2003
    Pros: Uhhh--One year warranty--you're gonna need it!
    Cons: Inhaling melted plastic fumes is harmful to your lungs!

    Summary: From Walmart--$157--good price. Seemed to have plenty of amenities for the price--at least it SEEMED to.... Lens cover is very flimsy and prone to get sprung. LCD difficult to see--but this is a given for most digitals. AC adapter a must because ... read more

    Pros: Low cost, good quality, excellent upgrade or new user camera.
    Cons: *EATS* regular batteries (buy Ni-Cd rechargeables), no direct TV-out.

    Summary: Now, I'm not the type that usually gets up for those "Black Friday" (day-after-Thanksgiving) sales, but the chance to snag a 3MP+ digital camera for under $100 was too hard to pass up. I had actually found two cameras that I had wanted: This one and a ... read more

    Pros: 3.3 Megapixel @ 2048x1536, Easy to Use, Good price, Compact, Intended for First-Timers
    Cons: Short battery life, Not completely digital, No sound in video, small delay between shots

    Summary: It was time for a replacement. My outdated 1.3M camera was starting to get to me. I had a Kodak DC3200 for several years (Personal Review - ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 11173793412), but the blurry pictures & the qual ... read more

    Oct 31, 2003
    Pros: You read this review so you can save yourself time and frustration.
    Cons: Camera devours batteries, download instructions don't work.

    Summary: No bargain, even at $132. Battery (which came with camera) went dead after first use, (two pictures!!) No biggie, bought Energizers the next day. Took photos of my 4 day old son & his 3 year old brother with their grandmother. Pictures appeared to be ... read more

    Pros: 3.3 mega-pixel camera for under $200; movie clips
    Cons: Battery life and LCD used

    Summary: I felt like an idiot. I got to my car, after purchasing the Vivitar ViviCam 3715, and completely overlooked the zoom capability before I bought the camera. My chihuahua, Toni, was laying in the seat beside me, annoyed that I was so wrapped up in ... read more

    Pros: Price, I guess...No time to find out anything else.
    Cons: You get what you pay for. Flimsy and poor quality.

    Summary: Well, since Vivitar doesn't have an e-mail address or toll free customer service number I guess I'll air my experience here about the piece of junk camera they are selling. I bought a 3715 two weeks ago and took about 3 pictures with it before it

    Pros: Takes great pictures, nice and compact, and easy to use.
    Cons: Eats up batteries very quickly, and you definitely need a memory card.

    Summary: This is a great camera! I got it for Christmas and I was able to use it right out of the box. Everything on the camera is basically self-explanatory. The only thing I would recommend for this camera would be a good memory card, because it's only capable

    Pros: Was a great buy for a three megapixel. Good pictures.
    Cons: Eats batteries, long flash charge cycle, no optical zoom, no sound for short video clips.

    Summary: 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

    Pros: Small
    Cons: Too many to list !!!

    Summary: This camera eats batteries and has many draw backs. The zoom is useless and the pictures taken with this camera are marginal at best. Buy a camera with an optical zoom and memory battery. This is an ok starter but, I wish I had spent more money and

    Pros: Quality is AWESOME!!!
    Cons: Eats batteries.

    Summary: Seriously, I am in love with this camera. It takes fabulous pictures...the exact same quality as my regular 35mm camera. I send them to Sams Club online and pick up my perfect prints a few days later. It does eat batteries though, but I hear this

    Pros: -Takes great photos - clear. -Wonderful Price!! -Buttons are easy to operate.

    Pros: Light, small, takes decent pictures
    Cons: Quality is terrible, have had major problems with two cameras.

    Summary: 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
