Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1

 

The Sanyo Xacti HD1's video quality needs improvement to keep up with the competition.

Superb OLED. Compact. Good color. Decent menu structure.

Video quality is subpar. Slow to change exposure in different lighting situations. Pricey.

Image quality

 

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1

Records 720p high-definition video; small, lightweight, and attractive; 10X optical zoom; rotating OLED screen.

Hard-to-maneuver joystick controller; very sluggish autofocus; video and photos look overly processed.

If you want the latest in cool toys, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 certainly has the right gadget quotient. Once you look at the image quality, however, its allure dims quite a bit.

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 would seem to fulfill the dreams of many a tech-head: high definition (HD) video at an affordable price. Yes, it does meet the technical requirements of HD, recording at 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second (fps), also known as...

Mic-in port, -HIghly Portable, -Flash is pop-up, -Flicker reduction mode

Non live-view for all manual settings makes for a tiresome guessing game, -Irksome docking station, -Poor video quality, -Terrible handling

Mini HD Camcorder Review: Sanyo VPC-HD1 Xacti

 

When Sanyo introduced the HD1 Xacti at this year's International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in January, they had everyone's attention. Even from the people looking at remote-controlled refrigerators. The tiny Sanyo garnered much attention for good...

Easy manual focus and exposure Slow motion recording Small design

Look for more companies to take a cue from the well-designed Sanyo HD1 Xacti.

Sanyo Xacti HD1A

 

Sanyo's Xacti HD1A is an interesting device. For a start, it's the smallest High Definition camcorder on the market, and one of the cheapest. It also ...

Great range of features, compact design, good still images

Disappointing video quality considering it's high definition, small screen

The world's smallest high definition camcorder is great for still pictures and range of features but less so for the quality of its video.
