Vivitar's Sakar-era 7.1MP CCD compact — digital zoom only, 2.4in LCD, SD storage, three AAA batteries.
The Vivitar ViviCam 7690 was a late-2000s budget compact issued after the Vivitar brand passed to Sakar International, which applied it to inexpensive digicams sold in bright colour ranges through supermarkets and gift retailers. It slotted into the 7-megapixel tier of the ViviCam line-up and was offered in black, pink and other finishes aimed at first-camera buyers.
It is built around a 7.1-megapixel CCD sensor with a fixed lens and 4x digital zoom only, framing on a 2.4-inch LCD with no optical viewfinder. There is 16MB of internal memory plus an SD card slot supporting cards up to 8GB, a built-in flash with red-eye reduction, digital anti-shake processing, and a movie mode capturing video at up to 640x480. Power comes from three AAA batteries.
This is a gift-counter snapshot camera: fine for casual daylight shots and the CCD-era colour look, but the digital-only zoom, small sensor and AAA power place it firmly below contemporary branded compacts. It suits buyers collecting colourful late-2000s digicams or wanting the cheapest possible working CCD camera, not anyone needing zoom reach or responsive handling.
AAA cells drain quickly in these, so test with fresh batteries and check the contacts for corrosion. Confirm the flash charges, the shutter fires without long lock-ups, and that it writes to an SD card of 8GB or under, as SDHC compatibility at larger sizes is the practical limit. Screens scratch easily and colourful shells show wear; boxed examples are common and cost little more.
