The Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1 EX digital camera was presented last year October in a tête-à-tête with the Dutch press in Scheveningen. As we have experienced before, it takes a long time before the product is actually available on the market. We were given...

Expert Review

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1 is a combination digital camcorder and digital still camera that takes reasonable still images and surprisingly good quality video.

Size, battery life, MPEG quality, useful USB docking station

Included SD card too small, tiny size makes recording stable handheld video difficult

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2

Camcorders are getting smaller and better, though not exactly in that order. What's more, they're getting a lot better at taking still pictures too – Viva la convergence! The new Sanyo X

Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1

Sanyo's compact VPC-C1 camera is designed more for video capture than stills photography and its styling reflects this bias. There's no viewfinder and the movable LCD screen doubles as an on/off switch. Switching the camera on activates a voice prompt...

High quality video capture ; Long combined zoom (up to 58x) ; Docking station included ; Weaknesses ; Plasticky' feel to body ; Slow response times for stills ; Poor low light performance [BG05

Doesn't take good pictures - not liking it

I purchased this camera on sale at Walmart over Christmas. I wanted a very cheap and small camera I could carry around in my purse, so I'd always have one on hand. And I wanted a cheap one so I wouldn't mind if it was dropped or lost or ...

Cost well less than $100 on sale; Small size; large LCD screen

Pictures are crappy. And really you want a camera that takes good pictures. This doesn't.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-E870 camera

Sanyo Xacti VPC-S1EX

Purchased for very enthusiastic 8yr old but would be more than happy to use it myself. He quickly familiarised himself with the product and loves it. Would definitely recommend. Fantastic value for money.

None yet.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-S1EX

Something that you can put in your pocket. Takes both video and still pictures. You are more likely to take this with because of the size. Cost okay for what it does, but it is a compromise.

Not as good as proper camcorder. Not as good as proper digital camera It's god face recognition but focus goes in and out in moving pictures. You need back up battery as doesn't last long. Difficult at first to get used to buttons for taking still and...
