SVP is a Chinese brand name. Supposed to be from Silicon Valley California. But, it's not.

 

I've just updated this guide to inform you of one other very important feature: It may cause your pc to crash. I had to do a restart to earlier period to get this camera's program off my desk top.

Introduced to the American market as a cheap alternitive to high cost cameras made in  Japan.

Buyer beware: these cameras were created just for mail order and are not worth the cheap box it's shipped in.

Alway's appearing in over-done expensive ads, the buyer is amazed at all the features offered on one camera.

I purchased it as a gift for my grandson. .....He gave it back.

Metal body, 12 mp; 8x zoom, Ultra slim, Video, Movies with sound, Windows capable, the list goes on and on. What you really get is little more than a .99 cents toy. The flash is so bad you'll have to use additional lighting. Forget the sound movies, it doesn't work. The sellers on ebay peddling these are just trying to recoup losses. Should it be understandable that they lie about the camera's true value? I don't know. But, if the sellers don't mind negative feedback or accepting returns then so what. Let them ruin their ratings. My only thought is of the poor people getting ripped off.

 Exposed:  Eats batteries like crazy, (non-rechargable). Poor pic quality, all pics taken come out as blurred & dark due to camera's poor vibration quality. Color is sub-par, Resolutioin at 12mp is an out-right lie, (it's 5 or less) Although it is aluminum, the material is so thin that it will fall apart when dropped. Poor quality manual. Poor quality photo-disc. Even the shipping box is cheap. ......................Fraud/fake/phony.

Bright idea! Pay a few dollars more for a brand name Japan camera such as Cannon Or Nikon. Used or new. Try a used Cannon Elf. Any model.

The SVP Camera I purchased was tossed in the garbage and I put the free batteries in my TV remote. (they died in two days)

I would like others to share their SVP experience. Lets work together to make ebay a safer place to shop. Victoria
