Expected More

I bought two as gifts for my mom and mother in law. I have used both of there cameras several times, and I am very comfortable with digital cameras in general, and basically I have been pretty disappointed. This is truly a case of you get what you pay...

Price, Large Screen

Screen is slow to react, no viewfinder, a lot of very blurry pics

price belies quality

this camera is small--2.5"x3.5"x1", HWD. it's also only 5Mp, but that's not really a downside. at the full five, your pictures will have a maximum resolution size roughly that of a poster, more than enough for any everyday needs. I keep it at a 1.2Mp...

the menu system and button layout are simple and straightforward. I still haven't needed to look at the manual. there are an extraordinary number of picture setting, including ones for fireworks, sunsets, sports, and even male's and female's portraits!...

no manual viewfinder, just the little lcd screen. I dislike this, but it's a small price to pay

Inexperienced user

If you know how to use digital cameras already this is probably a good buy.

Light weight and portable. Low price is a big plus

No manual. I have never used a digital camera and this camera came without a user's manual. It may do a lot, but I have no clue how to use it. I figured out how to take pictures but not how to download onto memory card. I searched on the internet if it...

Great Camera

I got this for my mom for a X-mas present. She LOVES it. She can't stop talking about how nice the pictures are and how easy it was to make it work with Vista.

Great price for what you are getting. Small size but big features. Very good for travel

I should have bought two when they were on sale... ;)

Great pictures TOUGH AS NAILS!

Buy this camera, no doubt it's tough, survived the washer and dryer, and a 9 year old dropping it over 10 times.

Guys, I can't stress this enough. This is the best camera ever. We bought this for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas. She took numerous clear photos and all was good ; YESTERDAY she left the camera in her pocket. It went through our WASHING MACHINE...

Absolutely none

What a great camera!

For the price, you cannot even come close to this deal anywhere! Just came back from Disneyland, took over 1000 pictures and only had to change batteries 3 times. Software is pretty good that comes with it. And all for $65.00. I recommend highly for an...

Great Pictures, Sturdy Construction, Nice LCD Viewer, Nice Features. Takes small movies as well with built in microphone

Pictures w/o flash require steady hand due to long aperture time

Vivitar ViviCam 5355 Silver 5.0 MP 2.36" LCD 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

I gave it as a Christmas present and I played with it before I gave it away so I could write a review. :)

Awesome price. Pretty good Optical Zoom. Good quality pictures with flash

Without flash this camera takes very blurry grainy pictures, and it seems like it has a very slow aperture time when taking pictures without flash

Neat little camera

Small, nice pictures, very small learning curve. Movies turn out very, very good with great sound

None, though I am just an amateur point-n-shoot kinda guy

Great Buy!

Even works as a WebCam, though at the low res it's still very intense and need alot of bandwith, I'm getting like 3fps but I've never used one so maybe it's something in the settings, though I think most real WebCams have a lower setting than the...

Takes great, detailed pictures, Easy menus, long battery life (which is a major complaint with digital cameras, but took 200 pics without recharging the 2000mah Lenmar batteries I got with this, and it's still going strong! Turn on "spot" metering for...

Only complaint is the LCD Brightness setting. Inside under normal light bulbs it's almost pitch black, so I set it up to +5. When I turn off and turn it back on, black screen thought it still says +5, so I just scroll through and go from -5 back up to...
