I'm getting really confused with what camera to buy. Basically I haven't really got a clue about Digital Cameras and I need to buy one. My limit is £100 (excluding memory cards) and I've sort of narrowed it down to two models:

Olympus FE115

Vivitar Vivicam 5385

I've used a Vivitar camera before and was impressed by the photo quality, yet I've heard that Olympus is a good brand.

I want a camera that can record things in a range of light conditions, has a decent shutter speed and decent battery usage.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thanks,

Martin

Well I don't know about which is better. But for a bit of a tip off, Olympus is a well known and respected brand... and the last time I saw a Vivatar camera it was a $28 piece of crap at my local low-quality refurbished crap store. You might want to do some more research, but I would take Olympus off name alone.
