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.)]
