Vivitar's mid-2000s pocket video recorder — 2MP stills, 1.5in LCD, 64MB internal memory, AA or CR-V3 power.
The Vivitar DVR-200 was a miniature digital video recorder from the mid-2000s, a pocket hybrid that shot motion video alongside 2-megapixel still images. It belonged to the first wave of cheap flash-memory camcorders sold under the Vivitar name before the brand's Sakar era, bundled with PhotoVista panorama software and WinDVD Creator for editing on the included disc.
Stills record at 2 megapixels and video to the camera's 64MB of built-in internal memory, with a 1.5-inch TFT colour LCD serving as both viewfinder and playback screen. Power options are flexible for the class: two AA batteries in alkaline or NiMH form, a single CR-V3, or an AC adapter. Files transfer to a computer over USB; detailed video resolution and frame-rate figures are not stated in the sources consulted.
It appeals to collectors of early digital video hardware and the lo-fi video aesthetic, producing small, soft, heavily compressed clips with a distinctly period look. The 64MB ceiling keeps recordings short, so it is a novelty and sample-clip device rather than a usable camcorder by modern standards.
With no card slot noted in documentation, the internal memory and USB link must both work to get footage off the device, so test transfer before buying. AA or CR-V3 power is easy to supply, but check the contacts for corrosion. Confirm the small LCD works, since there is no optical finder to fall back on.
