 Research Vivitar Customer Service Before Purchasing! July 9, 2010

We purchased this camera for our son to use in his photography class. The camera shutter broke within 2 weeks. We contacted Vivitar to have it repaired. They provided a return authorization number and an address and we sent it to them. This was 7 months ago. We cannot get in touch with Vivitar as the phone number provided on their website puts you on hold for several minutes then disconnects. Contacted by email, Vivitar responded saying the could find no record of our return authorization. UPS confirms camera was delivered to the repair address they provided. Please research Vivitar customer service before purchasing their products. Vivitar is now completely non-responsive. We do not expect to see the camera again and have purchased the Nikon FM10 camera.
 a very good film camera June 13, 2010

This camera is very fine, for the price!
If you are taking a B&W film class, or you have your own darkroom, (can I use yours? ;-) then this might be good enough for you!
I have a Nikon digital SLR, but I hardly ever use any of the fancy features on it, so it is almost always on manual exposure mode, along with manual focus!
If you don't need all that extra crap, because you either know - or want to know how to expose your film properly, then save a bunch of money, and buy a decent quality workhorse, like this vivitar!
Even comes with a standard Cable socket, so you don't have to spend money on a stupid fancy IR remote!!
 Got a Second one from the company after lots of haggling over the phone April 19, 2010

I purchased this from a different online dealer that is has a very good reputation, but it was having light meter problems right out of the box and all of my negatives were either over/under exposed. To verify this,I took the camera with the 28-70 lens to a local camera repair shop and they verified my problems with the light meter and told me that the lens was underexposing as well.I tried to talk on the phone with the company that bought out vivitar but they wouldn't budge and kept me on hold for 40 min. Extremely rude customer service. When they came back they just kept telling me that they could do nothing even though I have a one year warrenty!! I finally got help through their email and sent everything back. Got a new camera and they fixed the lens(maybe, I still think it is a little off)free of charge. Avoid the hassle dont buy this camera kit. If you have the money get a nikon or canon, its a much safer bet even if used.
Very disappointed.... March 15, 2010

I purchased this for my son who was taking a beginning B&W photography class at our local community college. Prior to making the purchase I read reviews from multiple sources and while most had good things to say, quite a few mentioned a faulty/poor light meter system. I made the purchase anyway, hoping to get a good one, but it was not to be. The light meter system is a bit cumbersome already when compared to all of the SLRs I've used through the years, but I can set the exposure on a subject, take a picture, and check the exposure before taking the next shot (same subject) and get a totally different reading just monents later. And I'm not talking one or two F-stops, this thing goes from a 'green light' at F4 at 1/60 to showing overexposed at F22 at 1/2000. It is so unreliable that I had to buy a hand-held light meter just to get my son through the semester. And you can bet this camera will be returned for repair/replacement once his class is complete.
 Great July 30, 2009
