Vivitar DVR 786 Action Camera Review & Giveaway
On October 15th, the Vivitar made its debut. The Vivitar DVR786, a versatile, rugged and affordable action camera. This camera is the perfect gift for teens on the go, adventurers looking for exciting POV video footage, and families who want to capture every moment of that holiday vacation.
Our Thoughts
The Vivitar 786 came in the waterproof casing and with all the assembly parts in the box as well. The waterproof container is easy to open and take the camera in and out. I plugged it in and turned it on as soon as I got it and the viewfinder already gave a great image. While it's incredibly small (it's supposed to be) the pictures are taken as normal sized. It is not any different than a regular camera, except it does take amazing photos.
I don't live near the ocean so I'm not exactly scuba diving and taking pictures, but I did want to test this underwater and so I put it in the bathtub and it works great!! I've never taken underwater pictures before so it was pretty fun.
I mentioned before how small it is, and it is small, it's perfect to fit in the side pocket of my diaper bag so I'm always to take it on the go with my kids and since it's water-proof I was able to take it to a water park and get some great photos without worrying I'd ruin the camera.
My husband rides ATVs and he tested out the mount for that and he said it worked great, was nice and sturdy and by seeing the pictures myself, does great! This really is a versatile camera for parents who's kids move all over the place, any adventurer taking pictures on the go or underwater pictures.
On top of all the great pictures you get to take, this is a DVR (digital video recorder) so you can take amazing videos of your favorite action or family fun!
Great price for such a versatile piece of technology

Our Thoughts
I have seen CollageIt Pro before but just had never been inclined to purchase since I didn't have a use for it (or thought that I had a use for it). Now that I have had a chance to use it, I have found that it does quite a bit of what I would have had to perform manually with another App like Photoshop. It is fast, smooth and not hard at all on my machine like other Apps can be. Not once did my Intel Core 2 Duo get warm, give me the spinning beach ball, or hang and never crashed once.
I am very impressed with the usability in the App design. It is a very simple environment but yet under the hood there was plenty of optional templates and changes you could make to create that perfect collage you were always looking for but could never afford the time to design. In about 10 minutes I had the App figured out and my first collage of 72 pictures sitting on my color laser.
Export was really nice allowing you to send it to a professional printer like Snapfish, Shutterfly, or Walmart to create that perfect collage. Some of the problems I saw with the App included not having a digital certificate signing the app caused me to reduce the security in OSX 10.8 to allow an unidentified developer to write this App and it would have been nice to have control of each margin separately so I could create a title area or have a wrap around any text area so you could automatically move pictures out of the way to accommodate the text anywhere on the collage. On the left panel it would be nice to be able to move the panel left and right to be able to increase the size of the preview pictures so you can determine which picture was the best (i.e.where your child was smiling in one and not the other).
Overall, I really liked the app and would invest the money to purchase this for 'year in review' photos of my children or for a professional photo service. So if you're looking for something that's going to create a neat project of pictures through out the year, here's your App!
