  • 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
  • The search for a really good two-in-one imaging device continues. The VPC-HD2 is not the Holy Grail, not even a Monty Python version of it. In fact I suggest you pick it up at the store, marvel at its small size then put it back down. Then if you can a...

  • Compact. Good color. Very good digital still images. Very portable.
  • Video quality could be better. Last years nice OLED screen not on this years model. Shutter lag evident in still shots. No optical-image stabilization.
  • Although its still chasing the competition, this tiny HD camcorder offers decent video capturing and still-image capabilities, all in one handy package....

  Published: 2007-05-10, review by: camcorderinfo.com

  • Abstract:  Sanyo chiseled out a unique niche for itself when it introduced the VPC-HD1 last year as the smallest and cheapest HD-capable camcorder available at the time, capable of recording both 720p video and 10MP stills. The VPC-HD2, introduced at CES 2007,...

  • Small and light design; can shoot stills and video at the same time
  • Soft, bland video quality; slow to focus; irritating control stick
  • The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 fits high-def video and 7-megapixel stills into a very small package, but its image quality disappoints.

  • Lightweight and compact, Great LCD display, Good video quality, Bundled HDMI cable, Fully functional digicam mode
  • Very noisy at higher sensitivity settings, Weak image stabilization, Takes too much time between consecutive videos
  • Camcorders are getting smaller and better, though not exactly in that order. Whats more, theyre getting a lot better at taking still pictures too – Viva la convergence! The new Sanyo Xacti series of digital camcorders are doing a pretty good j...

  • Design compact et léger, possibilité denregistrer des clichés et des vidéos simultanément.
  • Vidéos ternes et manquant de netteté, mise au point lente, joystick de commande agaçant, plus de prise pour microphone externe.
  • Complet et polyvalent le Xacti HD2 se tirent correctement de la plupart des situations. La qualité dimage est loin dêtre bluffante. Un appareil qui confirme que Haute Définition nimplique que la quantité de pixel présente dans une image et nest en ...
