Camera Help needed
I have 2 Cameras and now can not use either
HELP!!!!! The Vivitar has Lost focus. ALL pics are Blurred, and Zooming in only makes them worse. Do I need to send it out for repair?? My Kodak works Fine, but I have lost.misplaced the USB cable I can No longer Charge it let alone move the pictures off!! (Yes I could take the memory card out and place in a card slot, but.... Charging is Out!! Port is Much smaller that Mini or Micro usb!! I had a Nikon Coolpix but No cable for that one either Sold it to a friend (grand daughter dropped his) and his cable was perfect match Kodak Cable was correct size, but Contacts were Upside-down compared to Nikon!! Any one have an extra cable for my Kodak Camera?? (EasyShare M381) Or know where I can get one cheap?? Paid Less than $50.ooUS total for all 3 cameras Clearance at my local Wal-Mart about 3 years ago, so No go on return/replacement!!! I am checking both Kodak & Vivitar for info too But since we all use cameras, I thought to check here as well Might ask at other Model forums I am a member of too.Never hurts to ask! Many Thanks, Dan Oh yea, Vivitar is a ViviCam X029

As far as sending out for repairs, thats an unadviseable thing to do.
Even the manufacturer will tell you its just not worth it. These are not high end or expensive cameras to begin with and the fact that you paid less than $20 a piece for them...is your answer. Enjoy the time you had together...its time to say goodbye. Come on now...cheap used cameras are everywhere. And new cameras comparable to what you've got, are even cheaper! Yes, I have two old Easyshare cameras that I am reluctant to throw away, because they are superior to other small cameras from the same era. Easyshare cameras had larger high quality glass lenses with higher optical zoom. But my Kodaks still work okay....thats why I have kept them. I don't use them...ever...but they still work. And if they ever stopped working properly, I wouldn't waste any money fixing them. If you are considering repairs, you must have enough money to buy a new camera (if not a used camera).

Cheap cameras are not worth repairing. Sometimes they are unrepairable. Good luck!!

BUT, I echo the other posts. 3 years, 3 cameras fifty bucks - you've gotten your use and then some. Go back to Wally Mart and see what fifty bucks will get you today.

Digital cameras are usually not worth repairing because the cost is high, replacement parts uncertain, ad they are obsolete shortly after purchase. Most 3 yr old point n' shoot cameras are not even up to the quality of recently manufactured cameras on phones (most!).
It best to treat digital cameras as planned obsolete tools and trade up. There's always an option of learning to use film, for at least a back up, that never goes out of date, and the negatives and prints are also scannable for this forum. Just some options...

I have the Better Film Camera Kodak Offered, The Advantex
BUT...... Do they still offer that Sealed 35 MM film?????? The camera opened the reel and spooled it out when inserted AND it would recoil the film ANYWHERE in the length to allow you to change film You could them go back and finish--continue to use the previous spool untio finished!!
