I clicked on Mark's Vivitar link above to see if there was any additional
information on this camera, like its dimensions, or CCD size, but there
was not. However, I did notice at the bottom of the screen a picture of
three gorgeous women. It seemed obvious that this picture was not a
sample photo from one of their cameras, but it was also unclear as to
whether these women were company executives, staff, or simply hired
models put there to attract your eye.
It looks nicely compact (the camera). :)

I found some additional specs at LetsGoDigital. It's an ultra-compact
with a 10 megapixel 1/1.8" CCD and 6x (37 - 222 mm) zoom.
How'd they do that?

Ouch! sounds like maybe a fringe picture with a bit of sharpness somewhere, UNLESS they have some secret formula!
One step foward, two steps back?

Also, they sure did do alot of advertising on the front, all it needs are some "moon-eyes"

I bought this camera and I'm happy of that.
Yes, it has image stabilization but is not perfect, The image quality is good enough.
its optical zoom is very good!
I think it's a good choice.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have a VivCam x60 which I have used on one occasion. Sometime, while left unattended, I suspect a child has broken it, diabling the LCD which is not functioning correctly.
It is still under warante, although I cannot find the document. This camera was bought on a shopping channel but the 28 Day replacement period has lapsed due to all the Christmass hullaballoo.
Can you tell me where I can get this repaired, obtain a new LCD screen, or give me a contact number for Vivitar United Kingdom
Kindest Regards
Martin

Sorry, I was so excited about finding you, I didn't answer your questions. The website is http://www.batteryman.ca I called, the man's name is Brett. He can get your battery for you, cost will be approx. $50 Cdn. Shipping costs are unknown. I told him I could deliver it instead and we had a laugh!
If you would contact me, that would just make my day!
