Abstract: The VPC-HD2 improves on Sanyo’s preceding models and at an improved price, but its poor image quality still affirms its status as a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
Abstract: After I reviewed the Canon PowerShot TX1, I received several requests to review the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 ($699 list price). Now, Ive never used a Sanyo camera before, but I was game for trying the HD2, since it sounded pretty interesting -- at le...
Video looks as good as MiniDV, Good photo performance, Easy controls and HDMI connectivity, Fast startup
Video a little shaky, Limited focal length, Pop-up flash can cast shadows
Last year we evaluated Sanyos Xacti HD1, a palm-sized camcorder able to record 720p video to SD Cards. The verdict: promising concept but severely compromised video. The HD1s successor is now on shelves, and its a much better buy. Few physical chang...
Compact, lightweight
Good ergonomics
Decent video when shot outdoors
Video tends to wash out
Stills are O.K, again taken outside
Needs AF Assist lamp, more processing power, OIS

Supremely easy to use, HD video capture, 7.1-megapixel stills capture, healthy number of scene modes, carry case and USB dock bundled, built-in flash, good audio quality, mic socket
MPEG-4 video lacks quality, no accessory shoe, non-integral lens cap, no optical or electronic viewfinder Min specs: Min Specs: Mac OS X 10.1, USB port
For the video enthusiast keen to work with high-definition footage, the VPC-HD2 is a great option. The lens is only 10x optical zoom, but go much further and you’re looking at having to use a tripod. MPEG-4 capture is highly compressed and there&rsq...
