The Sanyo VPC-CA102YL Dual Camera Xacti is a waterproof Full HD digital video camera that can also take 14-megapixel still photos. This portable camcorder is small enough to be carried in a pocket, backpack, or purse. The camera uses a proprietary “double-range zoom” feature for zoom operation while filming video with a 12x zoom available from wide angle to telephoto for capturing distant objects (equivalent to 40mm to 480 mm zoom in a 35mm film camera). In addition, the High-Speed Sequential Shooting mode enables capturing up to 22 photos at 7 frames per second. Waterproof down to a depth of 10 feet, the Sanyo VPC-CA102YL Dual Camera Xacti will be available for purchase later this month with an MSRP of $349.99. [PhotographyBLOG]
Sanyo has recently launched the slim and compact E1403 digital camera. It is an affordable 14-megapixel digital compact camera with a metal housing and HD video recording capabilities. Using this compact digicam, you can record HD quality video (1280×720 pixels) at a frame rate of 30fps. The Sanyo VPC-E1403 also has a 3-inch TFT LCD screen, an ISO sensitivity of up to 6400, an SD or SDHC card slot, a digital image stabilizer and a 3x optical zoom. The smile and blink recognition feature are included for perfect portraits. The camera recognizes smiling faces itself and takes the snap automatically, without you having to press the release. If someone blinks when the shutter closes, the photographer is alerted by the blink recognition and can take another shot. A host of macros with preset parameters for landscapes, sports or fireworks ensure that whatever the theme, it appears in its true light. The Sanyo VPC-E1403 is priced at €129 ($157) with a three-year warranty. [Sanyo (Pdf.)]
