Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1
By Jimmy MacLeod

This digital HD media camera is small, elegant, and also lightweight. The Sanyo Xacti will beautifully capture your memories in high definition. The stylish vertical design offered by the camera will make it easier for you to keep an arm steady while you shoot.

2.2" color OLED
The 2.2" flip out organic light emmitting diode screen will offer easier viewing of your recordings, even in bright sunlight.

Video and pictures
The Xacti will simultaneously shoot 5.1 megapixel still images and high definition video clips. The HD1 can also record over 21 minutes of 720 pixel HD video on a single 1 GB SD care, or well over 42 minutes on a 2 GB card.

MPEG 4 format
The HD1 utilizes the high quality MPEG 4 recording format which will deliver amazing video clarity and detail. With the files being conveniently small, you have the ability to record long, high quality video clips.

Start up
When you close the LCD screen, the camera will go into standby mode. Open it back up, and you are ready to shoot in as little as 2 seconds! The camera also records straight to SD flash memory cards, so it will skip the long process of getting the tape deck started.

Image stabilizer
The image stabilizer will accurately distinguish between the unintentional camera shake and deliberate camera movement from pans or tilts. It will then compensate for the camera shaking to give you more natural results when you shoot.

Zoom lens
The highly effective and bright 10x optical zoom lens witha maximum aperture of f/3.5 will allow you to get up close to the action. Coupled with a 10X digital zoom, it will give you up to 100X of zooming capabilities.

Scene modes
You can create breathtaking pictures with the HD1 by selecting the best suited mode to the subject. The scene selection mode will work for both still images and video. The modes to choose from include sports, portrait, landscape, fireworks, and even night view.

Easy playback
You can share your pictures and video clips with family and friends in a snap. Multiple connections will allow for easy television playback, dubbing to a VCR or DVD recorder, transfer to a PC for DVD creation, editing, or just posting on the internet.

With everything the Sanya Xacti VPC HD1 has to offer, it's perfect for anyone looking for a HD video camera. You can do many things with this camera, other than taking pictures or making videos. If you've never experienced a HD video camera, the Sanya Xacti is certainly one of the first ones you should check out.
