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 VivitarViviCam 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.
The screen is a 2.4" colourscreen with LCD display and TFT matrix.
Additional items included with the camera are 1x USB lead, 1x DC Power input lead, 1x Composite video output. Also included ...
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: 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 ...
