Vivitar DVR 840XHD Reviews

Great Little Digital HD Video Cam
by R. C. Hughes from Altamonte Springs, Florida United States, 2010-03-28

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RYFY5QJ0RYGUD This little red video camera makes sharp colorful videos with excellent audio. I've been using mine frequently for about a year now, and have only minor complaints. One of them is that the video quality seems to be better in the regular mode. As one of the other comments states, it's a little "grainy" in HD. Don't know why, and don't care. It is a relatively inexpensive camera, and shoots excellent quality movies in regular mode. For more examples of the video quality, visit my site on YouTube. Just look up grizzlyhughes. Every one of my videos is shot with this little gem.

Very poor performance
by J. Faistova from New York, 2010-01-24

Do not buy this camera!! Images are grainy, especially in low light. My Canon Point and Shoot takes much better video than this supposed HD camera. Not a good deal at any price given the size.

Not good

Got my video camera, it does not work, I have to get in touch with the seller!

Poor quality and no SDHC support!!!
by Alex Lua from Merced, Ca, 2009-06-10

The camera doesn't support SDHC memory cards like it says on the box and website, which means you can't put more than 8 GB of memory onto it; so you'd have to buy the regular and more expensive SD cards with faster data transfer rates. SUCKS! Also, this camera records great quality, but once there's the slightest movement on the camera's point of perspective (aka a shaky hand), then the quality of the video drops, even with Stabilization turned on. ALSO, the stabilization option isn't available for the WVGA 60 fps or the 1080p 30 fps resolution settings, what!? I'm going to return this thing right away, I hate it. i'm going with a Sony probably

nice camcorder for basic point and shoot
by John Hackman from Exeter, NH, 2009-06-03

I have used this camcorder every day for the past two weeks since I bought it. It has great quality HD for an entry level camera and works well with a tripod.
