It's a bird, it's a plane ... no, it's a 6-in-1 recorder/player.

Vivitar DVR390H

 

I have owned my DVR 390H for nearly 2 years now and must admit that, at first, I thought it was rubbish... that was until I found out that I needed a scart lead with the red/white/yellow plugs to connect the base unit to whatever I wanted to record...

The quality of the films recorded on it are brilliant and the sound good too. Great for taking films/music/photos on holiday with you. Great that you can use it as a camcorder and also as a camera. I consider it great value for the money I paid for...

The colours aren't quite so true on photographs but at 3.1 mps still great to print up to 7 x 5 photos ; It's a pain having to connect the microphone everytime you want to film as it doesn't have a built in one but this can be handy when you are...

Vivitar DVR390H

 

got mine for 69.99GBP. It's 2007 and it arrived a bit scratched, looking like ex display stock

Best feature - very cheap! Nice big, bright screen. lots of hard drive space. simple to explore navigation. recorded TV no problem but quality not top notch though acceptable for price of unit. Plays all my MP3s no problem, though best to organise on...

pretty naff camera with staggered digital zoom but works. easy to put battery in the wrong way round. recorder bit is solid and metallic but the connection to camera seems pretty flimsy. The MP4 it produces are big for the visual quality of them. USB...

"$399AUD No worries!"

 

Bought one today from Harris Scarfe for $399AUD. An absolute steal at this price....blah to your vertical banding and blah to your battery life. This product at that price has got my vote!!!

"Love it - but add a optical zoom"

 

What a totally cool product - all you need is an optical zoom, and support for standard MPEG 2 (for viewing DVDs that you've copied with your PC using DVD Decrypter.
