Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700

Advantages: Small,and Great features
Disadvantages: shakes alitle

...I brought this Camcorder recently and i was very impress with it because it's very light, fits right in the hand of your palm and gives you great pictures.Other the other hand when you are recording it shakes a bit which isn't an ideal camcorder.The main thing is that this camcorder recorders onto a SD card which will save you a lot of money because you can record films and take pictures and then transfer it onto a CD and delete it off the SD card and re use the card over and over again instead of buying tapes. Unfortunately this camera doesn't broadcast HD but if you have a 720p screen the video images look good as a HD picture.The pictures are quite clear as well and 10 mega pixel for still image and 7.38 mega pixel for recording, it has a brilliant optical zoom of 5x....

Sanyo Xacti E60 - Style and substance !

Advantages: Great image quality. 3 x Internal optical lens. Impressive 3 inch screen.
Disadvantages: Average and limited flash.

...The sanyo Xacti E60 is the successor to the popular E6 - but the few additional functions make this a useful and desirable ultra compact camera to own ! As with the E6 - the 3 inch screen and 3 x konica minolta non-protruding optical lens are excellent ! The menu system is simple to navigate, it takes SD cards and the movie mode is great quality (if not a little greedy on memory !). The ultra fast touch sensitive focus shutter is clever and the camera can talk you through various stages to get your perfect picture - yes it talks to you ! So what's new ? The E60 comes with 32mb of internal memory (opposed to 16mb) and sports a simple grip on the front of the camera. Image stabilization has been included in the movie mode and red --eye correction software is provided in the menu options. All very useful if not major...

Could This Be The XACTi Camera Your Looking For?

Advantages: Small, Great range of options
Disadvantages: Price, HD not as good as you may think.

...Introduction I would like to start this review explaining why I chose to buy this product over the many other video camera choices out there. the first reason I chose to buy this product was because I have fallen in love with many products that the Sanyo company have sent me in the past and when it was time to update my video camera my attention was immediately drawn to this product as it is considered to be the worlds smallest high definition video camera to date. My first look at this camera came in my local electrical goods store where I was amazed at its quality and lightness. All cameras such as this that are featured in Sanyo's Xacti range all record videos and images to a SD memory card saving the need for a pile up of tapes or DVDs. Overview = The first thing you will notice about this camera is...

Review of Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2

Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1EX

Advantages: Does what a digital camera is suppose to do.
Disadvantages: Might hurt someone with the laser.

...The first thing you will notice about this Sanyo digital camera is the odd looking design, it doesn?t look like a conventional camera but more like a television show laser gun. When you hold this camera, for me at least, I feel kind of odd and out of place. I would think Sanyo tried taking a brave step but for me and a few others I have talked to, it hasn?t worked. The camera itself is 3.2 mega pixels which in this day and age is not digital camera quality anymore, they have better cameras on mobile phones now, but in terms of quality it does produce visible pictures with a fair amount of details but this isn?t a camera if you are looking to take photography semi seriously, it?s more something you would use for a quick snap. At the time like anything it would have been great when it first come out but technology is ever changing...

Sanyo CG65 - A Jack of All Trades, Master of None!

Advantages: Excellent Form Factor, Fairly Decent Stills, Voice Guidance , Good Video In Good Lighting.
Disadvantages: Poor Quality in Low Light, Battery life Could be Better!

...for capturing those irreplacable, life - bending moments such as babys first steps, daughters first words etc, since the video quality just isn't up there. Good fun, the voice that speaks with this camcorder is also gimmicky yet fun (yes. she can be turned off thank goodness), and the whole package is fairly attractive provided you can score it for under £200 or so. If you're looking to go more futureproof, I've heard the Sanyo HD1 or HD2 models (which record into High Definition) have much better tolerance for low light situations all round. Its your call, i've given my honest opinion, but I'll have you know i took it back the day after and had a full refund from jessops, since for £250 i still felt fairly cheated for a jack of all trades device which is a master of certainly none. Good for fun, the odd shot, video outdoors, but otherwise...

The camcorder comes of age

Advantages: Compact, feature packed, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Occasional problems with larger memory cards, though nothing serious

...If your a family person thinking about buying a cam-corder, consider this device. For your money, you get a high quality digital camera and DVD quality video camera rolled into one. The device can be set to basic user, or expert user, with some seriously meaty futures packed in to make your captures more interesting. There's a verbal assistant with the camera which will tell you where you are and what its doing, which is useful for starters but gets annoying after a while, so worth switching off. The design is neat, and compact, and the controls are manageable for those whose fingers are a little on the big side. Although first impressions are the cool flip up and rotating screen will break, its very sturdy, and the joints of the screen are still tight and click in the right places after 12 months of use. The only bad thing I...

Review of Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1

Fantastic value, great camcorder!

Advantages: Small (Tiny!), Light, Easy to Use, Splashproof, Good quality, Good value
Disadvantages: Battery can run out fast

...I bought this little camcorder about a month ago to take with me on safari. I have been extremely impressed... it took only about 5 - 10 minutes to familiarise myself with how to work the camera. It only has 6 buttons on it, so very easy to use and understand. All the more complicated functions are contained in the menus which can be displayed on screen and navigated through using the handy 'joystick' button. The quality for both still and moving pictures is very good, although the one-handed 'trigger' style operation can be hard to keep still if you are inexperienced like me!! Has some useful functions like wind-noise reduction, image stabilisers (1 for camcording, one for stills), different shooting modes depending on weather / surroundings, black and white / colour, voice recording etc etc and all of these functions are easy to...

Review of Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA6

Embarass your kids later in life

Advantages: easy to use, editting software, good picture playback and excellent sound pickup and playback
Disadvantages: a very weak built in light

...I remember my fathers first camcorder, it was shoulder mounted and I couldn't lift the thing it was that big and heavy. How times have changed in such a short space of time and I made my first camcorder purchase a month before the birth of my son, now some 8 months ago. As it wasn't an essential buy as I could record video clips with my digital camera I was warned not to go overboard and was limited to a £200 budget. Shopping around I ended up with the Sanyo VPC CA6, spookily enough, the same make as my fathers first camcorder and it came in well under budget at £149.99. I'm not going to try and convince you that I know rafts of information about the camcorder, I don't, I don't understand what most terms detailed int he instruction manual mean so my opinion will be based on what I think of the product, what I have managed to make it...

A shot in the dark... NOT

Advantages: Very compact; takes decent stills and video
Disadvantages: Useless flash; initially awkward to operate

...'t. I had been looking around for a new camera for a while and, you know how it is, you keep thinking, "It isn't EXACTLY what I'm looking for. There's bound to be a new one along next month. I'll wait a bit longer". I'm currently trapped in that loop over a new flat-screen TV I want. Then I got an email at work (this is the job I've now left) telling me that as I was coming up to my 20 years with the company I was entitled to a gift at the company's expense. Wasn't that nice of them? The catalogue arrived and amongst the various choices were two cameras, a Nikon digital SLR and a Sanyo Xacti. Now, I used to have an old 35m Canon SLR that I loved but my daughter "borrowed" that when she went to university to study for a degree in Photographic Art and I never saw it again. I was very tempted to get the Nikon but these days most of my...
