Vivitar IC101 — budget fixed-lens digital compact from Vivitar's entry-level catalogue range
The Vivitar IC101 is a fixed-lens digital compact carrying the Vivitar name, which Sakar International revived from 2008 as a mass-market imaging brand sold through catalogue and department-store channels alongside a wide range of similarly numbered ViviCam models.
Independent documentation confirming the IC101's exact sensor resolution, lens range and screen size could not be located. Cameras in this Vivitar tier from the same period typically pair a small CCD or CMOS sensor with a short fixed or modest zoom lens, a rear LCD, SD card storage, and AA or AAA battery power rather than a proprietary rechargeable pack.
Like its siblings in the range, the IC101 was built to a strict price point rather than for imaging performance, favouring simple point-and-shoot operation over manual control, with a plastic body and basic menu aimed at first-time or occasional users.
Used examples surface cheaply at car boot sales and online marketplaces. Because documentation is scarce, buyers should check battery terminals for corrosion, confirm the memory card slot and screen work, and treat it as a low-value novelty rather than a serious photographic tool.
