Greatness.......2004-04-03

I've figured out the problem with the camera not turning back on. I had the same problem, took it apart, and it didn't take long to realize what was going on. The battery connectors were VERY dirty and corroded with something. Clean them with a little rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and you're good to go. NOTE: You don't have to take it apart to do this, but I did to discover it.

Horrible.......2004-02-03

I have had this camera for three years and have never had a picture worth printing. The pictures are always blurring, they are ruined by lighting from the outside. The photos are terrible!! Don't buy this camera. I am online now to find a new camera. This one was a waste of my money!!!

Hate It.......2003-11-29

We have had this camera for a year and have yet to get it to work...even after calling tech support. Finally, after reading the reviews on this site I see that the problem is probably that we're running Windows XP.

Even if we could work around the software problem, the camera will not turn on any more...even after changing out the batteries.

Complete waste of money!

Wasted my money.......2002-12-01

I bought the ViviCam 20 and cannot use on my computer with Microsoft Windows XP. They tell me it could damage my computer now or in the future if I use it.

Great value, compact, good-looking.......2002-10-22

...
The first camera had a faulty lens -- distant objects were unacceptably blurred and focus was not even across the frame. Also the body was coming apart at the point where the wrist strap is attached. Focus on the replacement was much better, however that camera stopped working within hours.

Luckily the third unit provided by the store has worked perfectly for a month now and I am very happy with it.

Colour is always excellent and image quality is as good as you will find on a relatively inexpensive VGA resolution camera. There is none of the unpleasant artificial sharpening that I've seen on other 640x480 models.

Low-light performance is also a pleasant surprise (for a CMOS-based camera) with good results in bright indoor lighting. The built-in flash also works well under these conditions -- just filling in the shadows enough. Shadows start to 'block up' when light-levels are lower, but even these shots have a certain gritty charm.

The camera stores up to about 60 VGA images on the internal memory. The different settings for sunny, cloudy, indoor bright and indoor dark seem to have no effect on the resulting images whatsoever.

If you don't use the flash much, the batteries appear to last for ever. I've taken around 500 images so far (maybe 25 flash shots) and the two AA batteries that came with the camera are still going strong.

There is a macro facility that focuses at about 12 inches from the subject and the switch can also be placed in an 'onofficial' midway position to focus better at around 24 inches. Which is good for taking shots of yourself with the camera at arms length. However, when used as a streaming webcam it seems to slow down a p200 way too much.

The camera is too noisey. It bleeps when you take a shot and when selecting options, it bleeps each time you click past a different setting. On self-timer it bleeps a countdown which increases in speed -- about twenty bleeps by the time it actually takes the picture. This is quite funny but an embarrassment in some situations and makes the camera unusable in many public places.

The auto-shut off is a bit too fast. The problem is that this also resets all the settings. Which is annoying if you are preparing to take a self-timer shot or waiting for something to happen.

The tripod socket is a welcome extra. The camera has stylish good looks and is extremely compact. Transfer of images to PC is simple and fast using a USB cable.

Pictures look excellent if reduced down to about 400 pixels or under and sharpened slightly -- for use on a web page for example. This is the ideal snapshot camera for any web designer.

Despite its few minor faults you can't argue with the tremendous value for money and the overall quality from this camera. The build quality and reliability has been an issue for me, so if you get a unit that doesn't seem 'right' take it back to the shop and ask them to swap it...

Connect everything but the kitchen sink.......2006-10-14

the #1 reason i bought this receiver is the varied & number of components that can be connected to it: 2-VCRs, DVD, tape/MD , turntable, CD, CD-R, 2 component (RGB) inputs, plus 4 primary digital audio inputs, and one extra composite & digital input in the front panel. trust me, i've tried to utilize every last input simultenously...the current set-up is: VCR, 3 DVD players (yes, 3!), CD-R, tape, turntable, VCR, DVR, digital cable, and PS2. all the video outputted to an HDTV. makes for a nest of wires in the back, but i don't mind it. the units also decodes practically any form of Dolby (2.0, 5.1, Pro Logic I & II, etc.) plus DTS (5.1 & 6.1 + ES), and the sound is clear & plenty loud. the only complaint i would have is with the remote...UNLIT remote, so either don't try to use it in the dark, OR memorize the keys.

Center pre-out was the key.......2004-08-08

Great product, even better price. Looking for a good receiver with a center pre-out to be able to use my Toshiba HDTV T.V. speaker as the center speaker. Works great, good value, just dont try to use the remote in the dark.

Good "n" Inexpensive.......2002-01-19

I got one of these a couple of months ago and it's working well. This replaced an old 2x drive, also sold by I/OMagic.
I/OMagic repackages a number of brands in its boxes, but they're all from pretty reputable OEM outfits like BTC and Lite-On. Both my new one and the old one are BTC. It installed easily, runs quietly, and makes good discs. Mine came with Nero Burning Rom software, which works very well but took a little learning to use. Tech support from I/OMagic could be a little more responsive, but if you know what you are doing this is probably a very good buy.

Speed for the Times.......2002-01-05

Can you really tell the difference between a 550 and 733 if you're a just a regular consumer browsing the net? I think not. What if you're a computer geek that spends 12+ hours a day in front of the computer? YES! I am a member of the first group of users. My roommate has the fastest CD-R available, and he paid for it. I have seen him burn CD after CD. Most of the time he never uses them again. I have the I/O Magic 16X10X40 Internal CD-RW Drive! It's perfect. Right in my price range, fast enough for my needs. I burn Music, pics, last semester's docs... and more. No data gaps or skipping. And the software is easy to use. Don't forget to add the CD labeler to your cart. I didn't the first time and I ended up having to come back later to get. In the mean time all my CD's got disorganized. Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP is the most affordable and pretty much works best. If you don't have XP Easy CD Creator 5.0 Platinum is the bomb!
Happy Burning!

Never received item.......2004-04-21

Ordered camera, no email from Ritz Camera explaining why it was cancelled. Phone calls got me no where. Very unhappy. Never received product, just a refund with STILL no answers.
I will never deal with them again.

If you have a DCS-760, KEEP IT!.......2003-11-13

We owned the DCS-760 in our pro photo lab. The camera was great. Then, kodak came out with the DCS-14n as a replacement. It was a huge mistake. The DCS-14n's sensor is simply of lower quality, shadows sometimes come out magenta. There is also a flare issue. Grey gradients, depending on the density come out green or yellow. And there are other issues as well, but you get the point. In conclusion, the DCS-760 was a far better camera.
Kodak recommends the use of a good lens with the DCS-14n to eliminate flare. We used the same lens to test both cameras, and the tests were performed under the same conditions. The results were very clear to us: keep the DCS-760.

Ghost camera.......2003-02-21

How can anyone write a reveiw of this camera?
No one in the WORLD has been able to use or reveiw it, let alone hold one.
Kodak is 6 months behind release date on this camera and still has not shipped one. Lets reveiw it when it finally comes out.

The perfect digital camera ever made with over 13 mega pixels, this is the best and the only camera that any professional photographer should have.Very easy to use, much lighter than previous DCR-760 and much cheaper (about $... without lens).
