Vivitar

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...

A snap of a cam!

Advantages: small, cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: no memory card

...I have recently married and we had a very extensive wedding list. Very luckily we did really well and received 99% of the gifts. One thing we did realise we did not have was a camera. So we hit the high street to find something to fit our budget, bearing in mind we were skint after the wedding. Mmm, as you can imagine, we were struggling to rustle up £100 between us. We stumbled across Woolworths in our local town after a a disappointing day of drooling over cameras far too expensive for us. It was our last resort and, to be honest, I was holding out much hope. How wrong could I have been!?! In a display case by the till counter we saw a Vivitar 200 - Digital Video Recorder and Digital Still Camera. The price tag was set at £99.99, our ultimate limit. Neither of us noticed a slip of paper which had fallen over to the front...

Viva Vivitar

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...

Vivitar Vivicam 4345

Advantages: Good Camera
Disadvantages: None i can think of

...--------------------------- Vivitar Vivicam 4345 --------------------------- Yet another camera review. I have had so many cameras in my time but this particular camera is my girlfriends and what a camera it is. She purchased this camera about a year ago and has been using it since. The reason that I am writing a review about this camera is because I have used it more than her and I seem to know all of the ins and outs of the camera so I thought why not write a review and see what other people think about and maybe persuade some other people to buy the camera. Upon purchasing the camera I did lots of research for her as she would have gone and bought any old thing and would have regretted what she bought. Anyway after doing lots of research in the shops and also on the internet I came to the conclusion that it would be best if...

  Pioneer DVR-105 Internal DVD-RW Drive

Advantages: High DVD/CD compatibility after firmware update, it's Pioneer need another reason?
Disadvantages: Before flash update the drive sucks, 4 speed is dated now

...of electronic entertainment, not as big as Sony but they can hold their own. The drive itself is very plain on the front and is light grey instead of the classic beige colour of PCs. Although it's simple, it isn't ugly or boring to look at at all, a very nice drive to have seen on your PC. This is a DVD-RW drive so it is only compatible with DVD-R and DVD-RW media, not the DVD+R and DVD+RW (attention to the - and the +). This is important because you don't want to be paying for the wrong type of DVD discs. Since this is one of the earlier drives, it can only write to one layer discs (4.7GB discs). This drive is an IDE drive so any standard PC can have it installed for immediate DVD reading and writing. Well of course it depends if the owner of the PC is knowledgable in the arts of PC upgrading. This drive is the DVR-105 drive which is the OEM...

Value from Vivitar

Advantages: Compact, handy and sharp images
Disadvantages: ONly 3 mp, no optical zoom, no lithium batteries

...Mother's day saw a gift for Mother - i.e. my darling wife - that was a little bit more than a bunch of flowers. Being away from her for the day had made the conscience tender enough to suggest something a bit extra. Then there had been her gradual realisation that paying for reels of standard film to be developed after holidays, was mighty expensive. Finally, there had been those little experiments with my Fuji while on safari recently, that prompted the desire to enter the digital revolution.! This Vivitar is a good starter off in that direction. Price-wise these are available on the high street for around £60. They come complete with 2 AA batteries, 14mb of inbuilt memory, a carrying case, the cables and software to download to TV or PC, and a pretty good manual. It has an oddity for a digital camera in that the focus is...

Review of Vivitar ViviCam 3750

crisp and clear

Advantages: small and light to carry around
Disadvantages: memory card built in and batteries used quickly

...I was sceptical when I saw advertisements for the new digital technology, I thought getting the pictures off the camera would be difficult without a PC but my partner on the other hand was fascinated and just had to have one. I spotted the Vivitar DVR 200 on an internet shopping channel and when the price dropped to £69 I decided to treat him and so far I haven't lived to regret it. It's silver in colour, with an on screen LCD display, built-in 64MB memory, 2.5 x digital zoom, MPEG 4 video compression, 2 mega pixel and is able to record 17 minutes of video. To use with a PC it requires 800 Mhz Pentium III pc, 128 MB RAM, Windows ME/2000/XP and windows media player 9.0. It can be played back on either PC. It came with carry case, usb lead, cd for PC and leads for TV playback. It requires 2 x AA batteries (not included) which...

Vivitar - Small Package Producing Good Quality

Advantages: small, fits neatly into the pocket, great quality for the price
Disadvantages: no conventional view-finder

...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. I noticed it was 6MP, 3 times optical zoom, and had a 2.4? LCD viewing screen. What?s more it only measured some 9.5cm X 6.5cm and would fit neatly in my pocket without me even knowing it was there. 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. Thinking it was going to be ?cheap and nasty?, I was pleasantly surprised at its quality. Fitting nicely in the palm, it feels very light, but weighty enough to feel like a quality piece of kit. It came...

Vivitar VIviCam 5388

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.

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...
