Vivitar Vivicam X029 Digital Camera Review


The Vivitar Vivicam X029 digital camera falls into the Low Price range for digital cameras.


Although it may be considerably cheaper than others, don't let the price tag fool you.

The X029 carries features found in digital cameras in the $100-$200 price range, including HD video recording. You're going to need to purchase a separate SD card if you plan on taking a lot of pictures. The internal memory isn't going to cut it (similar to other digital cameras).

Great quality, user-friendly controls and an excellent value define the ViviCam X029 digital Camera. A resolution of 10.1 Megapixels together with high quality 4x digital zoom allow you to capture every detail and produce outstanding prints. Features like Anti-Shake and Face Detection bring new levels to your photographic experience. You can even record video in stunning 720p resolution. It is also exceptionally easy to use thanks to its large 2.4" screen, along with the rechargable Lithium Ion battery. It also includes a self-timer mode available for 2 seconds, 5 seconds or 10 seconds.

The only "negative" would be that this digital camera does not include an optical zoom. It does however include a 4x digital zoom. If you're looking to zoom-in a lot on distant subjects, this digital camera may not be right for you. If you intend on using it to take photos of friends and family, this is a wonderful budget camera.

The Vivitar Vivicam X029 is packed full of features:
