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.

You have the camera lens ...
Advantages: Light, good battery life Disadvantages: Not easy to use Pocket Word/Excel.
, the pocket version of MSN and the X30 caters for the businessman and teenager alike.
The Axim can be hooked up to your PC via the supplied USB cradle and a copy of Microsoft activesync if your PC does not support bluetooth. The X30 comes with 64MB onboard memory but can be increased by using a standard SD card.
The X30 is designed nicely and fits comfortably into the part of your hand.
Battery life is good but can be substantially reduced when using wireless.
Personally, I prefer the x30 to the newer x50 which I have also used. Overall, not a bad device which will still compete with newer models, even 3 years after its release. ...
