Decent low cost point and shoot

I'm quite pleased with this camera. I normally use a 35mm SLR for "real" photography, but wanted an inexpensive digital point and shoot for general snapshots, and this camera fits the bill.
It is an unpretentious camera, with all plastic construction and no frills. It's not terribly fast, taking 2.11 seconds to process an image at 2048 resolution, the highest that it is capable of. The LCD panel is good sized and clear, and at 2048 resolution it takes quite good, clear photos.
This is an older camera, and no longer supported by Vivitar. I found the instruction here:

According to the published specifications this model can use an SD or MMC card of capacities up to 512MB. However, I have tested it with 1GB SD cards and it works fine. The camera may not have been factory tested with larger capacities, 512MB being considered very large when this model was introduced.
At 3.1 mega pixels it's not the highest quality image available, but this model was never intended to be used as professional equipment.
To summarize it is a decent, low cost, small and lightweight point and shoot camera that is very simple to use and ideal for casual snapshots. Exactly what I was looking for.
