We bought a Vivatar 8010 for our daughter for Christmas and for the good of it we might as well have thrown the money away as the quality is awful.
I just wish we hadn't left it this long or we might of been able to take it back.
Unfortuanately our daughter didn't say anything, just left on the floor in her room with the other rubbish.

If it was for christmas, it should still be well within it's guarantee period.

In which case, just say take it back and say you're not happy with it cos it produces poor quality pictures. If you bought it from a large store, you're not likely to get much in the way of argument.

Oh .... and I have nothing good to say about them. They don't make very good cameras.

if you have one table leg half an inch shorter than the others, the vivitar 8010 is perfect for shoring it up..............................there you go, something good said.
