Herd of New Digital Cameras From Vivitar

[Ben Stafford]

Vivitar has announced several new cameras in time for PMA. The notable ones include two 10 megapixel cameras, the Vivicam X30 and Vivicam X60. There are also two 8 megapixel models, 4 six megapixel cameras, 4 five megapixel cameras and a few 2 and 3 megapixel cameras.

Below is the information that I've been able to pull from the least coherent press releases that I've ever seen.  When the image for a product has different model numbers and branding than the camera they're supposed to represent, it can make life pretty rough for me.

Classy looking cameras, you would not think they are cheap.

Off topic sort of, but does anyone know what country Vivitar cameras are made in?

Well it sounds like Ben had trouble reading their press releases, which tells me they probably aren't from an english speaking country

You'd think they could hire someone to translate though?
