Vivitar ViviCam 8400

 

Bought this to replace Cannon 3.1 mpix water resistant camera...no comparison...this camera is bulky, and quality of pictures for 8.1 mpix is awful...washed out colors, hard to get away from grainy images if cropped or enlarged...do not buy!

it is waterproof

poor picture quality, no auto focus

cant see the screen and so have no idea what you are taking on what the settings are... I managed to get it ontot the internal memory and filled it up within a few shots and then it didnt take any more even though there was plenty room on the card......

Vivitar Vivicam 8400

 

Better value than disposable cameras, you can see what photos you have taken, easy for the whole family to use.

There are not many cameras to choose from in this price range, this was the cheapest but still a little more than I think it's worth.
