Value for money, but a compromise.......2004-05-20
It had to be a 10X optical zoom, as I got used to long zooms during my SLR days. Originally I had my eyes on the Fuji S5000, but did not like the reviews (particularly the pretend 6MP setting, see DPReview).
STRENGTHS:
The price is unbeatable. The camera does not feel flimsy, even though it is plastic. Stickier surfaces would improve handhold, but shape is fine. The controls are logical and well-positioned, and with medium-sized male fingers I can comfortably reach and identify all buttons without taking my eyes off the viewfinder.
The viewfinder picture is what the lens sees (SLR-like), so there is none of the annoying parallaxis error of cameras with separate viewfinder windows.
The autofocus (a weak point in many reviews of various cameras) works fine throughout the zoom range. Macro ditto. The lens seems fine, although I did not play with test patterns.
There is the broad range of general settings expected nowadays, eg, four exposure, seven scenes, five focus, picture colour/sharpness/contrast, ISO between 70 and 400.
The range of manual-mode settings is excellent for this price. For example, there are five built-in white-balance settings, PLUS two manual pre-sets. Continuous shoot is available, as is 3 or 5 frames in a row. Exposure adjustments are available. The extent of viewfinder/LCD information displayed on settings can be changed to suit everyone.
Picture-processing speed is much better than the Kodak DX4330.
Operating costs are low, as it takes AA size batteries (from alkaline to rechargeables) and the cheaper secure digital cards.
WEAKNESSES:
Precision of the sensor is not great. Images are marginally noisier than those taken with a Kodak DX4330. This is not an issue for standard print sizes, though.
I am not wild about the colour. While the Kodak DX4330 had a blue bias, the Vivitar 3755 is red biased. There is no tone setting.
The viewfinder is quite grainy, and it can be difficult to identify objects with the zoom fully out. For people preferring to use the LCD on the back (accepting shorter battery life) this is not an issue as that latter is large and fine.
Unless I missed it, there is no option for a date stamp for photos.
Great camera.......2004-04-12
3755 Vivitar so far so good............2004-01-09
One thing though.... buy a charger.... with 2000mhp... or more...
I went through 8 aa batteries in 4 hours just playing with it....I have already taken over 300 shots.....
So far so good..
