Advantages: Size, price, video quality
Disadvantages: DVD creating due to fps rate
This Sanyo camcorder is apparently an attempt to capture both the video and still photo market and offer both types of customers one product.
The first thing I have to comment on is the super stylish design, this thing it just great looking, it's also very small and light (just 300g). When I first picked one up I couldn't resist the temptation to pretend it was some kind of start trek phaser, I also had a strange urge to try and shave with it!

The standard filming time is 3 hours. 2) Transferring video and photos to a PC is incredibly simple, you just stick the SD card into your PC card reader (I haven't seen a PC sold without a built in reader for years) and drag the files over ...
