Vivitar’s DVR565HD does 720p video recording

Vivitar DVR565HD

If the Sanyo Xacti CG9 was just not right for you, check out the Vivitar DVR565HD—the company’s first camcorder to venture into the HD realm. Rocking a rather slim and compact form factor, the DVR565HD uses SD cards as its recording medium, capable of recording video in H.264/MPEG-4 in full 720p glory at 30 fps. Interestingly, the camera can “upscale” the video playback to 1080i if connected to a TV via an HDMI cable. Little else is known, but the camcorder will feature a 3-inch flip-out LCD display, digital still functionality, and a maximum SD card capacity of 4GB.

The Vivitar DVR565HD will be available in black and silver, hitting the masses sometime in April. Pricing information has not yet been revealed; however, Vivitar is known for its budget friendly devices, so don’t expect a bank-breaking price tag on this one.
