There is a huge variety of digital cameras to choose from. Vivitar is one of the more respected and well-known names. The Vivitar digital camera range of sporty and versatile cameras suit a wide range of people. There are seventeen models in the Vivitar range: three DVR models, which have the functionality of both MP3 players and DVRs.
Vivitar made a big splash when the brand was first introduced to the celebrity mainstream. Entertainers at the MTV Music Awards and the Sundance Film Festival used Vivitar's range of cameras. Although this has helped, they are not the only things that have stood Vivitar in such high stead. The range of affordable and good looking cameras make them a good choice for anyone looking for a new digital camera.
Underwater Fantasy
Although for most consumers, the idea of having a waterproof camera might seem a little over the top and would at the most bring up images of being protected from a heavy downpour, rather than fully-submerged. A rubber seal keeps water out of the inside of the ViviCam 6200x, which serves it well at up to 30 feet below the surface of the water, and it can still take a little rain.
A two inch screen provides a respectable amount of space on which to view the up to 6.0 megapixel images, rather than through the viewfinder. There is also a built-in flash, support for more memory by buying another memory card with higher capacity. There is also a range of picture editing software to allow standard pictures to be given that little extra something and to do standard edits like removing red-eye.
Vivitar DVR-530
The are three cameras in the DVR range, but the DVR-530 offers a little something extra. The standard stills camera options are all there, but included are the ability to take movies, and to listen to MP3s. The 2.5 inch screen allows viewing of pictures that can have up to a 5.0 megapixel resolution. For close-ups there is a standard 3x optical / 4x digital zoom. The video recording capabilities don't match those of traditional video cameras, but that shouldn't bother most people. With a large amount of video only be distributed and viewed online, there is often very little reason to have the super high quality when the final version is viewed on a computer screen.
Wide Range
The functional range of Vivitar cameras extends from 5.0 megapixels up to 10 megapixels. The range follows budgetary considerations, and the top-end models will set you back a bundle. The ability to change many of the features is one of the greatest assets of the upper range models. These features are indispensable for the professional photographer. Have a look at the whole range and you'll be sure to find something suitable.
