          Comments about Vivitar ViviCam 5018 Digital Camera:

          I have a 5 year old 1 MP camera that delivers photos of similar quality and I've seen better photos from phone cameras. I'm a bit surprised at the poor image quality of this camera. Don't even try to shoot indoors ... you will need a very brighly lit, very still subject to shoot with this camera.

          Comments about Vivitar ViviCam 5018 Digital Camera:

          This is a nice camera for casual use as it is small and lightweight
          but it lacks options that you might take for-granted fore example date and time.
