Advantages: Good for pictures Disadvantages: The poor battery life
This review is for the Vivitar Vivicam X325 digital camera.
Setup
---------
Setup is extremely easy for this camera; you first have to make sure you put in the batteries they include which are just cheap everyday value batteries inside the camera. You then have to make sure you have got the disc loaded onto the computer; the reason for this is because without the software loaded on it becomes really difficult to alter the pictures you take using this camera.
Once you have done both of these simple steps you then can have a play around taking pictures in any way you feel like.
Design
----------
This camera has a really nice overall design. The front of the camera is grey like the entire camera is and has this metallic look to it which has a nice clean shine which makes the camera look very interesting.
You have the camera lens ...
Advantages: Great value for money, amazing functionality, countless modes and features, 10.1MP!! Disadvantages: Battery wears down fast if used very frequently
After scouring the Argos catalogue for weeks, I finally settled on the Vivitar Vivicam X30, and I am so glad I did! I was dubious at first, as I can imagine some people would be, but I eventually bought it, and I wouldn?t be without it now!
The description of it sounds quite amazing: 10.1MP, 3X Super Zoom, 2.5? LCD Monitor, Video Functionality, not to mention the countless modes and settings. All this for just under £200? Quite hard to believe, as for a slightly higher price, you could get a Sony Cybershot with only half the megapixel capabilities of the Vivitar. Ok, it?s not exactly an SLR, but for a digital camera, it?s the best I?ve seen so far!
The part that shocked and attracted me most was the 10.1MP, as I had never seen a camera with such a high megapixel value for that price. I thought it could be one of those products that ...
Advantages: Screen, graphics, wireless range Disadvantages: Battery life, viewing angles
will remedy it. Downloading files is also a little gripe as when you click on a file, it doesn't always come up with a dialogue asking you where you wish to save the file, and instead saves it on internal memory. What if I was downloading a massive file which internal memory cannot handle?
Thanks to abdrewawolfe, I noticed another lacking feature and that is a built-in camera like on the LOOX 720. Thing is, the camera on the LOOX is only a 1.3MP and I tested it myself finding the quality to be less than average indoors. Outdoors it is better, but I still think that PDAs don't need a digicam built into it. Another thing with the LOOX720 and x50v is the availability of stylus' you can buy for it. The Fujitsu Siemens LOOX 720 you can buy a triple stylus pack for a relatively cheap price of around £10 - £15. The X50v though could set you over ...
