Vivitar 5mp Digital Camera

This is just for a basic simple to use camera

There is quite a bit of criticism of Vivitar cameras, in particular battery life. If you are happy with carrying spare batteries and are not too fussy about picture quality then buy it.

Personally I would look elsewhere.

5.1 megapixel

i have a 4mp vivitar camera-but on saturday i bought the 5mp vivitar digital camera as saw it reduced from £100 to £50...but i cant find any reviews for it online anywhere OR being sold anywhere what doesnt exactly fill me with confidence!!! im thinking of sending the new one back...any ideas if the 5195 is any good?

The 5195 has a few things that signal crap quality:
* No optical zoom. This camera only has digital zoom. When you zoom in all the way (4x), you're only using 5MP / 4 = 1.25 megapixel.
* No mention of the lens manufacturer. Nikon uses Nikon lenses, Canon uses Canon lenses, Kodak uses Zeiss lenses, Panasonic uses Leica lenses... every camera that has even a halfway decent lens on it, mentions where that lens comes from. Not Vivitar.
* As you already noticed, you can't find Vivitar on any of the respected review sites.

What are you using ot for? Just casual pics at a party it should be fine. For detailed shots of scenery or people, forget it.
