DigiCamReview.co.uk Reviews Vivitar Vivicam 3760

DigiCamReview.co.uk have just posted the first review that I have seen of the very cheap and cheerful 3 megapixel Vivitar Vivicam 3760, which can be found in the UK for as little as £86.99.

“Image quality is average - the images have okay colour, okay detail (although they could do with a sharpen), low noise, and there is very little purple fringing. Image compression seems quite high based on the file sizes, but it doesn’t seem to cause jpeg artifacts. The macro mode is good (a bit better than average). The flash did cause problems when the subject was too close, causing highlight detail to be lost, and occassional colour problems. Auto white balance and metering seemed to be okay. The movie mode is good although a bit low-res compared to other cameras, and unfortunately lacks sound. The digital zoom is easily the worst I have ever seen, and should not be used on this camera.”
