Vivitar’s DVR-390H combines a digital still camera, MPEG4 camcorder, TV/Video recorder, digital photo frame, MP3 player and voice recorder. However, the only way to store data on the 20GB hard drive is by capturing it with the device or downloading it from a connected PC. If you insert an SD card, the DVR-390H uses it instead of the internal memory and you then can’t access the device’s internal memory. All functions are driven from the main menu on the LCD display, which is called up by holding the menu button down for two seconds. Ten ‘buttons’ call up the various recording and playback functions. The menu system is logical and easy to view and use. The display doubles as a framing device, since the camera lacks a viewfinder and is only usable when attached to the player.
