Vivitar DVR850W

 

it does what it says on the box, small palm & pocket size, not tried to see how waterproof it is, I'm not that brave.

the zoom button makes a clicking noise when you use it,the sound is then picked up when you record something !

Vivitar DVR850W

 

Lightweight, good fun, bought the same one for my 19, 17 and 10 year old. The 10 year old has not really put it down since christmas. Not tried underwater yet but hopefully this wont let them down on holiday.

Didn't have a memory card supplied and not many bags designed to keep it all in. Also had to buy an adaptor to charge from the mains. Can't say anything bad about the item itself.

Does what It Says

 

Not great at anything but if buying for a cheap water proof recorder it's good and works well but don't expect movie standard quality
