Vivitar ViviCam 8400
$80.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Deep waterproof range compared to similar cameras (30 feet). Large LCD screen (2.4") for this price. Decent range of white balance, quality, and other settings for this price.
The Cons:Apparent shutter lag between button press and actual snap. Low-light shots are pretty poor, noisy, and no flash. Images display on LCD for too short of a period post-shot.
