vivitar 5195 digital camera....is it any good?

Question

i have a 4mp vivitar camera-but on saturday i bought the 5mp vivitar digital camera as saw it reduced from £100 to £50...but i cant find any reviews for it online anywhere OR being sold anywhere what doesnt exactly fill me with confidence!!! im thinking of sending the new one back...any ideas if the 5195 is any good?

Answer 1

The 5195 has a few things that signal crap quality:
* No optical zoom. This camera only has digital zoom. When you zoom in all the way (4x), you're only using 5MP / 4 = 1.25 megapixel.
* No mention of the lens manufacturer. Nikon uses Nikon lenses, Canon uses Canon lenses, Kodak uses Zeiss lenses, Panasonic uses Leica lenses... every camera that has even a halfway decent lens on it, mentions where that lens comes from. Not Vivitar.
* As you already noticed, you can't find Vivitar on any of the respected review sites.

Answer 2

pink eye is the mirrored image of the flash onto the blood crammed retina in the back of the interest. because of this specialist photographers have their strobes fixed intense above the lens. the actually constructive remedy (except turning off the flash) is to pass the flash intense adequate above the lens so the pink mirrored image would not leap precise back. now and again turning on numerous room light fixtures helps, or utilizing your digital camera's pink eye relief mode. in the different case, only plan on eliminating it put up processing.

Personally, I've never known ANY Vivtar product to be worth the money it costs to make it...

If you want a decent camera (presumably point-and-shoot), check out What Digital Camera for ideas... And it depends on the cost you want to incur...

Check out Amazon for their offers, or if you want a decent one but want to spread the cost, try www.warehouseexpress.com... They do a "buy now pay in nine months" on anything over £150...
