Here I’m testing a new inexpensive digital camera. It’s a Vivitar model DVR 785HD with up to 5.1 megapixel still image resolution. Also, it can record 720p high definition video with monophonic sound from the built-in microphone and the camera can be used underwater.

The video was shot with only normal lights in my kitchen and living room and it features a bicycle horn underwater, various items in my kitchen and a very uncooperative action figure of Moses. Look close and you will see the original Booper (Super Booper) which I made in the 1970s. Don Joyce sent it to me for repair. It appears the problem is with the battery holder.

This could be my first product review and I guess to sum it up, this camera might be called “A poor man’s GoPro.”vivitar-dv785hd_smallVivitar DVR 785HD Pro Action Camera Camcorder
