Vivitar UK has closed after Vivitar was bought by Sakar - Sakar plans to sell Vivitar branded digital cameras and other products under the Vivitar name. For anyone looking for a budget camera, then Vivitar could be worth looking at, especially as Amazon UK are selling the Vivitar Vivicam 5355 for only £29 - more details on the Vivitar Vivicam 5355 here.

"Consumer electronics manufacturer Sakar International recently announced the acquisition of the Vivitar worldwide brand name and associated intellectual property from Syntax-Brillian Corporation, the parent company of 70-year-old photographic equipment maker Vivitar Corporation."
