First Digital Cam...Still Impressed.......2007-01-28

I purchased the Vivicam 4345 in August 2006 before a vacation. This is my first digital camera and I really enjoy it. I found the camera very easy to use. The manual clearly explained the various settings and in which situations they should be used. Most often I use the Automatic setting and Evening setting for night pictures. The software included with the camera is easy to use and gives you many options for editing your pictures.

My advice is to not be fooled by the image on your LCD screen. Some pictures that I didn't think were so great...once uploaded on the computer looked better than I expected.

Also as mentioned in a previous review you should purchase it from Brand-Smart. I found the price affordable and with a memory card (I have a 256MB which is more than enough) I think I paid around $120 total. Cameras are always on sale there so you may find a better bargain.

It comes with a case, strap, software, and batteries (but invest in rechargeable).

Lastly the sales man told me that the camera does not record sound. WRONG! While recording video, the sound is picked up through the embedded microphone. Upon replay on the camera the sound is not heard. Once uploaded on your computer you will have FULL SOUND!!!

Hope you enjoy your cam as much as I do. It's basic form and superior function.

Stopped working after 3 days.......2007-01-07

I purchased a Vivitar Vivicam 4345 from amazon.com.

It worked fine for the first day; the camera was easy to use, it was easy to get the pictures onto my computer, and the pictures looked pretty good.

However, on the second day or ownership I was unable to get the pictures to transfer to my computer, and by the third day the camera would not get past its welcome screen when I powered it on. (When this happened, the only way to turn it off was to remove the batteries)

I tried all the obvious fixes: different batteries and a different memory card, and I ran through their sparse troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked. The camera is completely unusable, and I am going to have to return it.

I don't expect that this is happening with all of these cameras (I bought the camera because it had good reviews here on amazon), and this may be an isolated instance, but it appears that some of these cameras (e.g. the one that I purchased) have problems. If the camera hadn't broken, I probably would have given it 4 stars.

I have purchased other cameras through amazon (sony and canon brands) and haven't had any problems.

Pretty Good.......2006-05-03

I am not a really a technology freak, but this is a good camera for someone just starting out. It takes some getting used to as far as choosing the right setting for the type of picture/picture quality you want. But other than that its a good camera with good battery life. It gets the job done. (save yourself some money and get it from somewhere like Brandsmart where its cheaper)

Good Camera.......2005-11-29

This is my first digital camera and I am no expert in this area. However, I find the quality of the pictures quite good and this camera is very easy to operate. For the price paid, I think it is a good buy.
