Customer Rating:      Summary: Vivitar camcorder Comment: I wanted a camcorder to take with me on holiday. I looked for a cheapish one which had a decent camera. I knew that vivitar wasn't a well known brand, but it seemed good on paper, I took the risk despite thinking 'if it's thats cheap, is it what it says it'll be.' When it arrived in the post, I took it out it's box and put in the batterys. The battery power isn't the best so I'd advise buying rechargeable batterys which seem to last a lot longer than standerd batterys.
I'd say overall that this camera is a good one. It is worth its money. It is small, has a good camera lens (5mp), comes with a case and tri-pod. The 4x zoom isn't the best as it causes the picture quality to decrease dramatically. I would recommend this for a camcorder if you're looking for a cheap, easy to use, basic camcorder. The internal memory isn't very big and it is a good idea to buy extra space for it. If you want to put your videos onto video websites such as Youtube or google video, the software isn't compatible with these website but you can still watch your videos onto your computer, TV or the camcorder.
Over all, I'd say this camera is worth getting if you're looking for a cheap camcorder good for taking photos, videos etc.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not very good! Comment: This is the first digital camcorder i have bought and i quite regret it. I bought it mainly for recording myself drumming to edit and syncronize along with songs but the audio isn't nearly good enough to cope with that kind of noise and the video and audio often go out of sync. The picture (camera) quality of photos isn't very good and neither is the flash. It is also nearly impossible to take videos indoors at night when only the lights on the ceiling are on and it's so dark that you can barely make out peoples faces. Outdoors the video quality is alright but if its a windy day then the sound of the wind on the microphone near enough blocks out all other noise. It goes through batteries like mad aswell so your best bet is to buy rechargable ones. It's reasonably easy to use but it's aqward to hold and i find myself quite often covering the flash which by the way doesn't work on Macro Mode which by the way is pretty bad. Also the internal memory is terrible so you have to buy an S.D card ( the maximum is 1GB). The videos and videos however are extremely easy to put onto the pc via USB. My advise to anyone planning on buying this is definately to save a bit more money and get a half decent camcorder.
Hope this helps!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Cheap and cheery Digital Camcorder Comment: This is a really fun camcorder - especially for the price. It's easy to use and the manual helps you out when you get stuck. Used it on holiday and it survived very well and was easy to use and carry around because it's so small and light.
It does run through batteries quite quickly so you'll need re-chargeable ones otherwise it'll cost you more to run it than to buy it.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Cheap and cheerful. Comment: This is a nice little camera if you're not expecting miracles. I received this as a Christmas present and have had great fun with it as my first video camera.
It does have its drawbacks: the picture quality isn't brilliant and it has particular difficulty with low light levels so isn't much use indoors; the sound quality is reasonable but the built in microphone isn't particularly strong and there is a fair bit of background noise; it does seem to run out of power very quickly, there have been times when the red light has flashed and the camera switched off only to switch it back on half an hour later and be greeted with two bars and a few more minutes filming.
It also has many things in its favour: it's small, neat, lightweight and comes with a soft case with a clip to attach it to your person; it's pretty easy to use (although easier if you read the instructions); it can take video, still pictures and audio and stores them in formats that virtually any computer will recognise.
All in all it's a great little camera if you want it to take a few snaps and record moments for posterity.
