Vivitar's late-2000s 7.1MP compact — fixed 5.1mm f/2.8 lens, 1.8in LCD, SD storage, three AAA batteries.
The Vivitar ViviCam 7022 was a late-2000s budget digital compact sold under the Vivitar name by Sakar, which had acquired the brand and applied it to low-cost cameras in bright colour variants — this model shipped in black, graphite, strawberry and other finishes aimed at casual and younger buyers.
It records 7.1-megapixel images from a CMOS sensor through a fixed-focus 5.1mm f/2.8 lens, with 4x digital zoom and no optical zoom. A 1.8-inch LCD covers framing and playback, video records at 640x480 or 320x240 at 30fps, and features include face detection, anti-shake processing, a self-timer and PictBridge. Storage is via SD card and power comes from three AAA batteries, with rechargeables not recommended by the maker.
It suits collectors of colourful late-2000s Sakar-era digicams and anyone wanting a pocket novelty camera; the fixed-focus lens means nothing to go wrong mechanically, but also no close focusing and soft results compared with true autofocus compacts. Bright daylight gives its best output.
Running costs are low: AAA cells and standard SD cards are easy to source, though alkaline drain is quick, so test how long a fresh set lasts. Check the LCD for cracks — the most common fault on these thin-bodied cameras — confirm the flash fires, and verify the SD slot and USB port both work, as repairs are uneconomic.
