Vivitar ViviCam X327

Vivitar's ViviCam X327 is an entry-level digital camera that falls near the top of Vivitar's point-and-shoot lineup, mainly because of its higher resolution of 10.1 megapixels. This camera is compact and very similar to the X024 model, in that it has 3x optical zoom and 8x digital zoom, as well as point-and-shoot features such as digital image stabilization, red-eye reduction, and face and smile recognition.

The LCD screen is large, at 2.7", and unlike the X024 this camera also has a video capture mode at up to 30 frames per second. There are nine different shooting modes, including automatic, and there are also selectable or automatic white balance options. Internal memory capacity is 32MB, but this can be expanded up to 8GB with an SD card. The X327 uses 3 AAA batteries and is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. It comes with a photo organizing software program called PhoTags as well.
