The Xacti VPC-HD1 the latest high-definition digital media camera from Sanyo, features 2.2 inch LCD display and able to record 720p HD video/5.1-megapixel still image onto a standard SD memory card. Size; it measures 3.1 x 4.7 x 1.4in and weighs in at 8.3 ounces. Verdict; The pricey Sanyo VPC-HD1 has lower photographic quality than a dedicated 5-megapixel still camera, however it is a unique product that offers features that can’t be found elsewhere. Build quality, handling and performance are good, and it is the closest thing yet to a successful hybrid still/video camera.
