Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1

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.

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.

Sanyo's Eneloop lamp heals your ecological soul

We've been fans of Sanyo's rechargeable Eneloop batteries since they first entered the market in the lazy NiMH and NiCd days of 2005. We remember this because we, like Eneloops, don't suffer from the memory effect of our predecessors. Ok, ok, that date's in the press release but that doesn't change the fact that Eneloops will maintain their charge over time even when stored, ununsed in a drawer now does it? Anywho, Sanyo just announced its rechargeable Eneloop Lamp that serves to light your home when upright or your path when held like a flashlight -- automatically, just as soon as it passes the 90-degree mark. It also features a healing function that waxes a cool blue light into the tragic abyss of your misery and despair. The internal AAs recharge in about 12-hours when set atop the included induction charger. Fully charged, you can expect between 3- and 45-hours of white light, 12- to 16-hours of the blue stuff, and about 6 hours in flashlight mode. No price was given but it'll be on sale in Japan starting September 11th.
