My Vivid does not have the frame overlap problem, but it does have one lens 
slightly out of focus.  This is very minute and only noticable upon 
examination of small lettering in the picture, but I hear it is a problem 
which others have encountered.  I have gone through 3 Vivids, and none had 
the overlap problem, but 2 had the out of focus problem.  The Vivid is the 
camera that draws the most attention from the general public (as opposed to 
the Realist, Kodak, Colorist, etc.) but I rarely use it due to, in my 
opinion, it not being as sharp,overall, as the Realist.
