Vivitar ViviCam 3935

...By the same reasoning, a Vivitar digicam should be OK, as Vivitar have a long history of making decent lenses for 35mm SLR's. Of course it's difficult to be sure in these days of globalisation, and sometimes you just have to hope that a company's sense of pride will prevent them from selling a naff product with their name on it. As you will see later, Vivitar have a bit of work to do here, and the fact that the same camera is available with both ...
...Having said all this, the Vivitar consumes more power than most, but as long as you are prepared, it's livable with. Despite my misgivings (and I did ultimately send it back) there's a lot to like about the Vivitar - it feels right in the hand and the controls are well thought out. It has most of things you might want, and not much you'll never need. Whatever you buy will be a compromise of some sort - even with money-no-object, you're unlikely ...

Review of Vivitar ViviCam 3935

...camera extremely easy to use. Vivitar have done there homework and produced a great camera for beginners. From setting the camera menu up to taking the image I really want, all is very easy and straight forward. Included with the camera are a Carry Case, Lens Cover and Strap, Users Manual, USB Lead and a Software CD. The CD has PhotoSuite SE, PhotoVista, Driver for Windows (USB Mass Storage) and an extra User's Manual. The only let-down on purchasing ...

Review of Vivitar ViviCam 3935

Well what can i say this camera is the dogs danglies of cheap digicams. The picture quality is more than good enough for most people and the camera is simple to use. It has a number of settings, the most frequently used by myself are the auto, sports and macro settings, which seem to take great photos no matter what you try. I'm a huge motorsports fan and take the camera with me to all the shows and events. It's happy to be abused a bit and takes ...
...you can get those nice photos of a car in perfect focus with the streaky speedy background. On the other hand whack it in sports mode and you get a perfectly crisp photo even if you wave the camera around your head. Where the camera fails however, is it's dark photos. It doesn't like low light levels and tends to not pic up a lot at all if its any darker than a cloudy day. This is a bit of a pain for those wanting to take photos of the sky at night ...

Review of Vivitar ViviCam 3935

I bought my Vivicam about a year ago. and it's been a good camera. I was a bit dubious with it not being a mainstream make, but I gather they're popular in the States. The main attraction was the 5 megapixels and the 3x optical zoom at a reasonable price (I paid about £150 at the time, but that included an SD card (128MB) and a whole bundle of photo software - I'm sure you can get it cheaper now, so an even better deal. It has all the features ...
...modes are selected from a wheel on top rather than a menu - I think that makes it easier to use. It has the usual sports mode, macro mode, portrait mode etc, and will do movies too. But what about the pictures? Well, I'd say they're excellent - you can enlarge them a long way before you really notice the pixels, and they're very sharp. My only criticism would be that there can be a slight colour tint on indoor photos, particularly in poor light. ...
