This is literally a piece of junk. I bought it because it was $39, figuring that it would be worth it if it lasted just one year. After taking the first picture, I realized that I had to return it. It’s VERY slow, the pictures look strange, kinda cartoon-like, even. This camera would absolutely NOT get a clear picture if the subject moved. Pictures would show trails of light from the slow flash.
Other cons, besides the terrible pictures:
- It has no lens cover, it’s just open to the world’s dust.
- The SD card slot doesn’t have a cover, either.
- It does not come with a paper user’s manual. You have to download the software and get it from the computer. Not a huge issue, but a pain.
- The USB port is on the BOTTOM of the camera.
- There is no quick-delete button.
- It uses 3 “AAA” batteries.
- poor quality materials. It feels like a toy.
Vivitar should be embarassed!

I am rating the camera, not the seller. I bought the blue version of this camera from Wal-Mart when my expensive digital camera stopped working while I was on vacation. The camera has a “digital lens”, not a real one. Basically, the problem is that it is a pinhole camera. You MUST hold the camera perfectly still for a couple of seconds for the camera to record the image. NONE of the 200+ photos I took were razor sharp, most were blurred beyond recognition until I figured out what was going on. Please note: 1) I took this camera back to Wal-Mart the next day for my money back and used the camera on my cell phone which I am very happy with! 2) I am not an inexperienced photographer, I have been taking pictures with an SLR camera since the early 80′s. I have both a film and a digital SLR, and a Powershot G9. Do NOT buy this camera.
