EDISON, N.J., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- For photography students and others who want an affordable non-digital camera, Sakar International today announced the return of the Vivitar V3800N - a manual 35mm single lens reflex model priced from $169 to $199 (MSRP) depending on the package. The camera utilizes the classic focal plane shutter that inspired the term 'shutterbug.'

FWIW, these cameras are or were made by Cosina. They can be had cheaply on eBay. However, it is nice to see them available again new.
