Great Digital Camera.......2007-03-10

This was kindof an impulse buy. I originally went in to buy a kodak easyshare but it was sold out so I got the next affordable one which was this one and I have to say that I was thinking about taking it back because I hadn't researched it but after trying it out and reading the manual I changed my mind it works perfectly all functions work, the flash is ontime, it's simple and it looks great! I've had it one week so far nothing has gone wrong but we'll see so far I'm in love w/this cam..and not taking it back.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!!!.......2006-10-15

I bought this camera in April 2006 and it was great! However, in July it just stopped taking picures; the camera would come one and all the functions worked, but you can't see anything on the LCD screen- it was black. When you tried to take a picture it would flash, but the picture itself was black and it still had the specs & time stamp on the black picture. It was like it taking picutres with a lens cap on- but it doesn't have a lens cap- which makes me think its somesort of an internal shutter problem. Anyway I took it back to the store and exchanged it for the same exact camera. Guess What?!!? The new one only lasted ONE WEEK!!! It had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM~~ What are the chances that this problem happens to me twice? Now, unfortunately I have lost my receipt, I have to mail my two week old camera off to VIVITAR- where hopefully they will fix it or perhaps I can try out another. DON'T waste your time or money there are other cameras that are much much better! The only reason I decided on this camera to begin with, was the large viewing screen, functions, video & it was easy to work.
Oh.. BTW.. If you use RECHARGEABLE camera batteries you can save money on the regular Double A.. the batteries don't last long!

Outstanding and simple.......2006-07-27

I really like this camera. I especially enjoy the video capture and sound feature. Took it to Kings Island and was very pleased with it's functionality. Picture quality is amazing and it is very user friendly. Very large LCD screen. I do wish it had an optional view finder but I knew that when I purchased it. I would like to find the alternate power cord that it is capable of using. Should have been included in the purchase.

Good choice!.......2006-07-10

Great camera to start off. I didn't get mine on amazon, found it cheaper elsewhere, but anyways my parents have the 5385 so just getting it i knew some stuff ahead of time, like it eats batteries, even rechargables(maybe i got some bad batteries who knows), the best thing i've found to solve this is the energizer e squared batteries, they hold up. And why doesn't it come with a power cord?...and by the way you can turn off the LCD, all you do is press the ok button on the back like 2 or 3 times and it switches through and one of them it turns off. For the most part the only real problem i have with it is the placement of the on/off button i'm afraid it might accidentaly get turned on but i keep it in the case provided to prevent that...so yeah 5 stars!

Very nice camera, simple........2006-06-19

After buying this camera I was pleased for the most part, as the interface is extremely simple and the picture quality is very good. It's a sleek, smooth design with minimal buttons, thus little confusion. There are 3 things, however, that I'm not happy with. One is that it takes double A batteries, and eats them up REALLY fast. The second thing is that there's no secondary viewfinder, just the LCD screen. The LCD screen is large, which is great.. but this is why the battery life is so low. You can't turn the LCD screen off, so batteries go fast. The third and final thing I dislike about it is that there's no AC adaptor, so whenever you plug your camera into the computer or the TV, not using it to take pictures, you have to run it on batteries. That is, unless you somehow find a compatible 3 volt AC plug, which is neither on the Vivitar website, or anywhere else online that I can find made specifically for this camera. I'm a little upset that it came with no adapter, as that would be SO useful for a camera that eats up batteries. I reccomend rechargibles if you're going to get this camera.
