Vivitar Mini Digital Camera

[drako]

$9.99 from CVS pharmacy. Absolutely could not resist!


Dimensions:
59mm x 42mm x 15mm
2 1/4" x 1 9/16" x 9/16"




Must view the pop-up viewfinder from about a foot away.


A nice carrying case; something my $300 Kodak V570 did not come with. Also, unlike my Kodak, this camera does not have any high-polish surfaces which show fingerprints at the slightest touch. Overall ergonomics are not too bad.

Here are the pics:


Impressive backlight compensation.


Indoor images look better than outdoor.

Johnny, for $10 you'll have more fun with this than buying a movie ticket! Fun shots. It's not half bad for the price and definitely looks like fun.

That is the best ten bucks' worth of anything I have ever seen.
I need one.
