Worst camera ever! The picture quality is rubbish, the HD video quality is the worst and it doesn't even record any sound.
THERE IS NO OPTICAL ZOOM!!
The camera also doesn't even show you the picture after you take it and the flash turns off after every shot.
Oh and it broke after 1 month.

This camera is terrible. I had it only 2 months before it broke. The pictures do not come out clear and one day it just stopped working. It takes 3 AAA batteries that continuely go dead. I would not recommend buying this to anyone. Spend a couple more dollars and get something worth while. I tried to save a buck and ended up spending even more, Waste of money!

Sucky product Sucky customer service

This is the worst product I have ever used. The camera broke after I had only used it for less than a year. The customer service sucks too. If you want to buy a terrible product and waste your money, then this is the product for you. They also make you pay to mail in the product to get it replaced. Worst product ever DO NOT BUY...

Customer Service

Sucked they do not listen and they are unhelpful

Strength:

Lightweight, large LCD screen, nice image quality (including HD), pretty much everything

Weakness:

Does not come with a carrying case or protective cover on the LCD, controls might be complicated at first, the flash goes off after the camera makes the picture taking sound which may result in blurry photos.

I previously had a Vivitar 3750 and hated the resolution especially when they transferred to the computer, but when I saw an x024 for less than $50 I could not pass it up. The controls and icons are a little bit complicated unless one has experience with Vivitar products, but really there's no way to mess up, you just need to sit down and fiddle with it for a bit and you'll start to understand how it works.

So far this has been a definite upgrade. I know I won't be taking any fancy photography or action shots, but my main use is taking pictures for a blog and to share with family and friends, for which this camera is perfect.

This is the worst deal I made for a camera. I simply cannot get a sharp picture. I tried all modes, settings. It gives a FUZZY PICTURE for all long shots. I am terribly disappointed. I am taking this CAMERA BACK. DO NOT BUY VIVITAR X024 CAMERA !!!

Cute pink color
Small size for storing in purse

Weakness:

Picture quality (what more needs said)
Battery life
Picture quality

I wanted a small digital camera that was easy to handle and store in my purse. I am so disappointed with the quality of pictures that this cute, little Vivitar camera takes. I have taken 100 pictures and "maybe" have two keepers. I find it very hard to see anything on the screen in order to review and need to load the pictures of my camera to know if I have a good shot or not. It is almost like the old days when you didn't know if you had a good shot or not until the picture was developed. I will never buy another Vivitar and wish I would have spent the extra money to buy another Cannon.

Strength:

Great flash with Red-eye reduction.
Anti-shake setting.
HD Photos.
Able to flip pictures in viewing section.
Easy Navigation (If you know what to look for.)

Weakness:

Shutter speed.
Does not give view of picture immediately after taking.(Easily fixed by pushing trash button(Right D-Pad), and you can choose Yes or No.)
Does eat through batteries very quickly.

This was given to me as a gift for Christmas. I enjoy taking lots of crazy fun pictures of life. People just being goofy and those little moments that make you go "Awww" or laugh hysterically. My first time using, I did not read the manual and just had a go at it. I quickly was able to navigate the menu and find all my settings and preferences. While I enjoy this camera very much, it does eat through batteries very quickly.

What strengths? Ha, None!!

Weakness:

The list is too long to continue.......

I bought this for my mom & step father for christmas because they had been wanting a digital camera for so long. My sister was having her first chid in Jan so I though what better to buy them for christmas was a digital camera. I'm thinking what a great price on a camera that originally cost $129.00 I paid $59.99 the day after thanksgiving. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. Every picture that we have of the baby is blurry. You menu is not user friendly at all! I would never buy another Vivitar or ever recommend this type of camera to anyone I know. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!!

Strength:

Light Weight.
Low price tag.
Good HD pictures.
Good flash (with red-eye reduction)

Weakness:

Plastic feel (almost toy like)
Cover flap over USB is clumsy & restricting for access (could see this eventually falling off or being pulled off by frustrated owner)
Internet availability is a must to download & use the dedicated picture manager (can take a while if your internet speeds are below 1meg)

I bought this camera new for my daughter's birthday & I found it quite a handy little tool. Although its plastic feel is a little off putting, the style is not bad. It is a very light camera though not the slimmest on the market but would not cause much if any discomfort while being carried either in a purse or pocket.
Without using the instructions I had a play with the buttons on the rear & very quickly navigated my way around the menu. Then by adjusting a few settings (eg. pic size, light setting & flash) I took a few test pictures in HD. Then to preview my shots all I did was press the circular navigation button >right. (This also asks you if you want to delete the previewed shot & its a simple yes or no). I then connected the USB cable to my computer & gave the pics a view in their full glory both on the monitor & on a 42'' HD plasma. I was happy with the result especially considering the low price tag. So in my opinion if you take a little time to familiarize yourself with the menu & its settings you can indeed take an array of impressive shots to capture those precious memories at a very cheap price.
