“Desktop/LX users will be able to plug in the certified Vivitar cameras and go – a camera icon will immediately appear, “states Joseph Cheek, President and CTO of Lycoris. “Users will be able to view and edit pictures and watch recorded video directly from the camera – in short, everything they expect to be able to do with their camera. With Desktop/LX Certified Vivitar cameras, people have an affordable option they can trust right out of the box for capturing, processing and sharing digital images and video.”
The new Desktop/LX Certified Vivitar digital cameras include:
Vivicam 355
Vivicam 3550
Vivicam DSC-350
Vivicam 3615
Vivicam 3620
Vivitar’s certified cameras now bear the Desktop/LX Certified Logo, and both the Vivitar.com and Lycoris.com websites will show this logo next to each camera. Certification logos will eventually appear on the boxed product packaging as well, where consumers can verify Desktop/LX Certification at the retail level.
“Vivitar is committed to ensuring that our digital cameras are compatible across all desktop platforms,” says Tom Piehn, Director of Imaging Technologies for Vivitar. “One of our key customers, Walmart, is leading the way with Lycoris Desktop/LX based PCs and as a significant supplier of digital cameras to Walmart, we are putting our new digital cameras through the Desktop/LX Certification process to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.”
