I had been looking to upgrade my camera for a little while, and had decided that Vivitar was going to be the brand for me. I found this one on Bid Tv at a bargain price of £45.
It is absolutly brilliant. It dors every thing I wanted it to do, as is very easy to use. It's not a point and shoot, but is easy to learn to use.
It has a digital and optical zoom, the digital zoom can be disabled. I have done so as digital zooms tend to spoil the pictures.
Lovely 2.4 inch TFT screen, which can be turned off to conserve power. The screen is off very good quality and is not spoilt by sun light. No view finder, but I haven't as yet had any problems.
Battery life is good. I have taken over 100 pics this weekend on just the two AA batteries needed.
A 1GB card which I bought from eBay costs about £6 and will hold hundreds of pics.
This camera will also take black and white pictures.
Brilliant little buy!
