Usually i would buy a more expensive brand of higher quality such as a kodak or fujitsu or sony however, i have experience with vivitar cameras before and i knew that they were good for their money.

So i decided to buy a 5 megapixel camera and didnt expect too much from them. However, these expectations were soon quashed as i was amazed at how good the camera actually was for the price. I paid £45 including with free postage and packaging (from www.amazon.co.uk), the picture quality was fantastic, zoom was very good, ease of use was simple and user friendly, using the software which accompanied the camera was also simple to use and transfer files. Although a little slow.

If your looking for a good simple camera for a low low price then this camera has got to be up there for you.
It is great for quick snaps.
