Vivitar is hardly the only camera manufacturer to go back to its roots with some of its digital offerings, but that’s hardly a trend we’re going to complain about, especially when the cameras in question are such a marked improved over the company’s standard fare. Of course, there’s a decidedly less substantial difference once you move beyond the appearance, with this new ViviCam 8027 packing the same 8 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, and 2.4-inch LCD as its blander 8025 counterpart, plus the usual anti-shake measures, a basic movie mode, red eye reduction, and a recharchable lithium ion battery. No word on a price just yet, but it looks like you’ll be able to snag this one in your choice of black or yellow in addition to the red.
