Customer Review: COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!
Summary: 1 Stars
COPY OF EMAIL I SENT THE COMPANY (READ DETAILS OF WHY THIS ITEM IS TRASH!!):
I was a customer for the first time of your products by buying the Vivitar Underwater digital camera (model #26693) from my local Target for my First Vacation ever to the Bahamas aboard the Carnival Miracle on May 7th - 15th. I chose your camera over the Kodak underwater camera due to the more exposures you advertised with the digital. A decision I FULLY REGRET NOW!
I used the camera first in Grand Turk (placing BRAND NEW BATTERIES in it I purchased from the ship) and took several pics after following the directions carefully. The next day I turned it on to see how many was left for our stop in Nassau and it said it was COMPLETELY EMPTY! At this point I assumed that it was my girlfriend hitting the wrong button (as I read in the manual there was a "clear all" option) and just chalked it up as a loss.
In Nassau we swam with the dolphins at Blue Lagoon and took at least 80 pics with your camera there of us with the dolphins. On the way home I carefully packed it away carefully in a waterproof case to assure that the buttons wouldnt accidentally be pressed.
Now I just uploaded the software to my computer after I got home and followed instructions carefully, as I plugged your camera into my Mac Mini the software said that it "could not locate any photos". I checked and YET AGAIN the camera shows that no photos were taken.
I feel like I got ripped off and lost some awesome pics of our friends and times on the islands due to your malfunctioning camera. It would have cost me more to buy multiple Kodak underwater cameras and I would have had to pay to get a CD and developed, but now I realize it would have been worth it compared to losing priceless memories by trusting in YOUR brand product.
I will be sure to NEVER buy ANY of your products again (even though I have bought your products as presents before). Nothing can replace those memories and I cannot express my disappointment of this inferior product.
I will be contacting a friend of mine who blogs for products on Amazon.com to make sure other do not make the same mistake!
(PS: The Camera only works with software, will not mount on desktop!!)
