I'm So Happy - Vivitar Digital Camera Review
It's pretty sturdy and thicker than the last one I had but it is still very light. I have not yet tested the waterproofing yet, nor dropped it on purpose because I would rather not scratch it.
This tells me that the camera will most likely fail within a couple of years due to water leaking into the seals already. Another point I do not like about this camera is that, every time I turn it on, it asks me to connect it to a pc before I start doing anything. It's a little slow at navigating the different scenes and functions, but it's been improving with time. I love how I can drop this camera (super clumsy) and know it will be okay! Within a day of simple testing, the colored panel in the front already developed a scratch. The functions are not intuitive at all, for example, trying a simple thing like turning the camera on and then trying to zoom in you get "not available in the current mode". The screen would work, show menus but the camera itself wouldn't show anything on the screen with the lens was open. It was very odd, we waited a few minutes and tried again and it worked fine. Highly recommended! It's a good camera and probably would give 4 stars if it wasn't for the freezing problem.
Pictures were dark, shutter speed slow...the first day. I thought let me give it a chance and play around with it. Otherwise, it is fantastic! If you follow the instructions, it is easy to use, with no leaking possible. My girlfriend and I took a month long vacation in Nicaragua. We both bought stylus tough series cameras. It does not seem to judge light conditions very well, often telling me that the camera was shaking in daylight conditions. I also found it cumbersome to sift through the "scene" features on this camera. Right off the bat, the front fascia (blue in my case) was easily dented by the charging cord bumping against it (which later cost me a restocking fee when I returned it because it was "damaged"). I thought it was supposed to be tough!
I wanted a waterproof camera I could take while fly fishing and not worry about it getting rained on or soaked if I fell in the river. The environment this camera withstood is a testament to how good a product it is; it rained nearly every day, the temp varied each day from low 40s to mid 60s F.
It's likely the two "hates" that I listed were indications of a defective camera. The SEVEN items that I listed above that are reasons enough that I would not recommend the camera to anyone.
I bought this camera to replace my beloved Casio EX-V8 which was dropped one time too many. I am a casual user and like to take pictures and videos of the kids.
I would absolutely recommend this camera. This camera takes pretty good quality photos.
