Vivitar Vivicam 8690

The Vivitar Vivicam 8690 is a budget-friendly, entry-level compact digital camera from Vivitar geared strictly for amateurs and those seeking only the most basic functionality. In particular, the Vivicam 8690 uses an 8.1MP sensor to capture quality still JPEGs up to 3264x2448, and low-resolution VGA videos in AVI.

Included is a minute 16MB of internal SDRAM, which is enough for perhaps 50 pictures at max. However, there is an included SD/SDHC slot that supports cards up to 8GB. Despite the lower-than-average specifications, the camera does host some tricks up its sleeve, such as face & smile detection, red eye reduction, anti-shake technology, and PictBridge compatibility.
