    Advantages Advantages Small, light, easy to use, long battery life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small poor quality screen, Average image quality

    The Vivitar Vivicam3105s is quite a small camera and easy to use out of the box for anyone who has had even the briefest of uses of a digital camera. It is small but yet offers a very nice 3.2mp resolution and offers up to 5mp via interpolation (the camera basically guesses what to make up the rest of the image with). It has many features which include, webcam and video as well as the standard expected options. This was a replacement for my old Goodmans 3.1mp camera which beside the Vivitar is about 3 times the size of it. While the Vivitar is small however it does have its flaws. My 2 biggest ... more

    Advantages Advantages 1.5" screen is good, a good camera for kids.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages breaks,flimsy, eats up batteries

    I bought this camera almost a year ago form tesco because I wanted to take some pictures of my little brother on his first day at secondary school. I am not impressed with the camera and I will tell you why. ++So who are Vivitar?++ Vivitar are a company based in california who specialise in the manufacter of cameras and camera equipment. They do make some really good cameras and have wokred with kodak to produce some disposible cameras. Some of their models are very good and advanced cameras but this one isn't. ++What does the camera look like?++ The camera is small and thin and very light. My ... more

    Advantages Advantages Compact, Robust, Easy to Use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor Zoom, Struggles in low light

    This was a birthday present from my husband. Despite my initial doubts about the quality (of the camera and the pictures), I have subsequently been very pleased with some of the results I have achieved using this camera. ~~~~~~ Looks: The camera is a silver finish, and made of a tough plastic. It is very light, and small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, even in the case (which is included). Dimensions are 9 x 5.6 x 2.4, and quoted weight is 392g. Whilst there is no 'wow' factor, there is nothing that makes this unattractive looking either. ~~~~~~ Features: The features are very basic, this ... more

    Advantages Advantages Small Lightweight with Long battery life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor quality pictures, toy-like, small screen

    I got this camera when my other one was left on a bus. It was cheap at only £32 so i thought i had a bargain. I was soon disapointed. The camera is small and lightweight, thus making it ideal to take on a night out or in a small bag. The battery lasts a long time, but this doesn't compensate for the quality of the pictures which is simply AWFUL. Pictures are the main purpose of a camera, yet the screen was very very small, making it hard to view pictures that had been taken. The ones that had been taken were very blurry (not just my bad skills, because my friend has this camera and problem ... more

    Advantages Advantages Small light and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pitiful amount of photos before memory is full

    I bought this camera because I wanted to take some pictures to put some items up for auction on ebay. Its nice and light, and easy to use but the sad thing is the amount of pictures it takes! On top quality, which is five megapixels, you can only take two pictures. This means that it really isnt worth taking out of the house on days out because of course you need to take many more pictures than that at say, a day out at the seaside, particularly if you have pets or children. Apparently you can get memory sticks that increase the memory and then you can take many more photos, but thats not ... more

    1 Star Quick review of Vivitar ViviCam 3105s by home-working 30/08/2007
    I bought this camera for my young daughter for her birthday and we were VERY disappointed with it. 1) it gets through AAA batteries very quickly AND it won't work properly unless they are almost new. (it never works when you need it). 2) I could not get the software to work with the camera. I gave up and bought a USB card reader instead. 3) I am not at all impressed with the picture quality. This is a 4 Mega pixel camera, but you would never know it (not even close to my Sony 3.3 Mega pixel). I am going ... more

    Got this camera from ebay - it's true what they say - you get what you pay for - Good Points: Nice, very small easy on the eye -Comes with everything you would need such as batteries, usb cable, pouch, strap, cd with photo express & photo explorer(for pc only) & Pc cam driver. - Very easy to use, not too many complicated buttons and instructions to follow. Decent for outdoor simple pictures. Very decent price for a digital/PC camera.

    Advantages Advantages Small & cute and SD card slot

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The pictures!!!

    SImply do not buy this camera. We had it a year and it fails on it's basic premise, that of taking pictures when you press the button. I bought it because my wife wanted a digital camera which when you press the button it simply takes a picture. With many cameras they faff around so much before the shot while they try to get focus and try to get exposure right. This one doesn't have to do any of that since it's fixed focus and fixed exposure, but Vivitar have still managed to make it faff around doing nothing so the shot becomes worthless. Particularly furtrating with kids and pets as they are ... more
