Vivitar ViviCam 3540

Advantages: Affordable, easy to use,
Disadvantages: Needs to have SD memory card for regular use

...I went on a mission to find a reasonable privced digital camera and found the Vivitar ViviCam 5388. On first glance I thought that it would not be very good, how wrong I was. This is a small lightweight camera only weighing 116g. It is easy to use and has quite a lot of features. It has two exposure modes programme and auto. It has white balance presets for flourescent, cloudy , tungsten, light and daylight. It takes and stores your photos as JPEG images. It has an intergrated memory of 16MB, which although small can be increased by adding a SD memory card. It has built in flash and built in red eye reduction. Also it has a self timer mode.

...I had nearly £40 worth of Amazon vouchers built up from my on-line activities with various Internet affiliate programs I belong to. And when I had one of their promotion e-mails I thought it was about time I used some of them up. I was particularly attracted to the Vivitar 6324 digital camera.

Total cost delivered was £55.88 including tax and delivery - I had opted to pay a delivery charge of £5.01 and it was with me 2 days later.

It came... Read review

Advantages: Superb pics and price.
Disadvantages: Haven't found any

...My old digital camera had served its purpose well, but being only a 3 Mega pixel was now somewhat out dated. So I was on the lookout for a cheap good camera. I had planned on getting at least 5 mega pixels because I do feel that is this techno age a 5 Mega pixel is the least you need. For those uneducated in the terminology let me simplify it for you. Basically the higher the mega pixel value of the camera the better quality of picture you will get. A 3 mega pixel will produce 3 million dots to get the picture whilst a 5 mega pixels will produce........................yep you got it 5 million dots in the same area therefore there will be far more detail. I'm reasonably techno minded but no over so so I did require a camera which would be simplicity in itself to operate, and low and behold I found it. The Vivitar 5385 met all... Read review
