Vivitar Vivicam 3301 1.3MP Digital Camera

1 Avoid this camera
This camera is a complete disappointment. It consumes triple AAA batteries at an astonishing rate. The software to transfer photos is difficult to install and use. I recommend a larger size camera with more features. This is not suitable for a child.

2 Well...
I bought two of these little guys for the kids. One works, the other needs to be sent back for repair after 2 months. The pictures are surprisingly nice for a camera this size. They are not meant to be durable and you get what you pay for. Overall, generally happy, but a little bummed to send one for repair.

3 Don't bother
I purchased this for my son thinking it would be a nice easy camera for him to use. It is incredibly small (about 3"x3") and has no preview screen on the reverse side. It also has no flash. We also had a problem installing the software to download the prints to our computer. All said - a big disappointment!

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are good at heart.

A Severe Strain on the Credulity
As a method of sending a missile to the higher, and even to the
highest parts of the earth's atmospheric envelope, Professor Goddard's rocket
is a practicable and therefore promising device. It is when one considers the
multiple-charge rocket as a traveler to the moon that one begins to doubt...
for after the rocket quits our air and really starts on its journey, its
flight would be neither accelerated nor maintained by the explosion of the
charges it then might have left. Professor Goddard, with his "chair" in
Clark College and countenancing of the Smithsonian Institution, does not
know the relation of action to re-action, and of the need to have something
better than a vacuum against which to react... Of course he only seems to
lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.
