Vivitar has a new digital camera that just might be the most hideous piece of digital camera tech to ever roll off the assembly line. It appears to be colored in a safety orange hue, perhaps to help keep the photographer from being shot if the cam is used on a hunting expedition. The color may go over well here in Texas at the University of Texas as well.

Ugly looks aside, the cam is waterproof to 30 feet so you can take pics as you swim or dive. The LCD display is a 2” color TFT and it packs in 4x digital zoom. The CCD is 6 megapixels and it can snap images at 2816 x 2112, 2272 x 1704, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480.

The cam can also record video at QVGA 320 x 240 resolution. On board memory is 16MB and a SD card slot can use cards up to 2GB. Power is via AA batteries and the camera measures in at about 4.7” x 3.1” x 1.7” and weighs 8.1 ounces with no batteries or memory card.
