Summary: Had bad experience with 3615 model
Review: I bought a Vivicam 3615 last year. The camera worked fine for about 6 months, then the picture quality degraded significantly.The colors are all a bit "off" now and it takes poor quality images at night. Experience with Vivitar tech support was very frustrating.

Review: I bought this camera online so I didn't get to play with it first. When I got the camera I was plesently supprised. The picture quality is fantastic and the macro feature is a great bonus. The optical zoom is 3X which is quite good. Ignore the 4X digital zoom because it is useless. It takes good night flash photos as well as small movies with sound. It has the ability to record a small voice tag after taking each photo which I think is quite nifty. It connected to my PC with ease and the batery life of the camera is quite good as you can turn off the lcd screen and just use the veiwfinder to save power. It has many more features than I have listed here.

Summary: Battery issue?
Review: I don't have this camera but- One reviewer complained that he couldn't find rechargable batteries for this camera. But the product information says it takes 2 AA NIMH batteries which are the most commonly available rechargable batteries there are. So one or the other is wrong.

Summary: Battery issue?
Review: It comes with 1 rechargable battery. Do you want to take a few pictures then have to wait overnight while it recharges? Its manual does not state the model number of the replacement rechargeable battery to ask for much less where you can buy them or how much. And Vivitar's web site does not offer replacement batteries. The manual DOES state you can use a NON rechargable Rayovac CP1 battery in lieu of the rechargable it comes with. Do you want to have to buy a fresh battery each time you shoot pictures? Moreover, Rayovac doesnt even currently sell that NON rechargable battery much less local stores. In short, buy this camera and you will be limited to the length of its one battery and then have to wait overnight while it recharges. You will not be able to buy even non-rechargeable extra batteries for it. And IF Rayovac ever starts to sell the NON-rechargeable batteries, they will likely be very expensive and not widely available, and since they will be non-rechageable you will have to buy new expensive batteries each time. Pity. It would be a winner product otherwise.

Summary: Battery issues
Review: The product information is WRONG. The Vivicam 3935 takes 2 AA-size alkaline or NiMH batteries, but this model, the 3930, takes an odd Li-ion battery that Vivitar themselves do not sell! The only option for battery replacement is an expensive Duracell non-rechargeable model.
