Title: Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700
Pros: Head-turning price, Plenty of features, Great image quality
Cons: Fiddly controls, Sluggish autofocus
Verdict: Cheap it may be, but the VPC-HD700 is far from the performer we'd hope it would be. Low light and movement cause all manner of problems. Even for the less demanding audience it's aimed at, this is likely to still be not quite good enough
Summary: Now that the high-definition format war is finally coming to an end, with Blu-ray appearing to have beaten HD DVD into submission, high-def movies are far more likely to grow in popularity

Title: Review of the Sanyo Xacti HD1000
Pros: Very good video quality, Well-placed, easy to use controls, Ultralight, pistol-grip design, Sharp 4-MP still photos
Cons: Difficult to hold steady, Some tearing in video
Verdict: Even with a skimpy software package that includes Nero 7 Essentials and Ulead MovieFactory 5.0 SE, the HD1000 is an excellent buy. We love the portability and video quality, and even the option to shoot stills while recording video. (The cam's 4-MP stills
Summary: Sanyo's HD offering imbues a classic cam with quality video performance.

Title: Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2
Pros: Small and light design; can shoot stills and video at the same time
Cons: Soft, bland video quality; slow to focus; irritating control stick
Verdict: The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 fits hi-def video and 7-megapixel stills into a very small package, but its image quality disappoints
Summary: Sanyo's Xacti VPC-HD2 can record hi-def MPEG-4 footage at 1,280x720-pixel resolution and 30 frames per second, and shoot 7-megapixel still images at the same time as shooting video -- not bad for such a small package

Title: Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65
Pros: Very decent features, Competitive price, Great performance for the price
Cons: Average sound quality, Handling noise from mic placement
Verdict: On the flip side of the LCD are four slashes, which we hope will record high-quality stereo sound despite the likely proximity of our fingers. Following the curves down to the underside, you'll find the tripod bush and the all-important USB 2.0
Summary: For a gadget that fits snugly in your pocket, footage is top notch

Title: Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA6 Review - Camcorders
Pros: Splash-proof casing, Small physical size, Records direct to SD
Cons: Buttons are stiff and unresponsive, Poor in-built microphone, Focus problems
Summary: Sanyo's VPC-CA6 excels at being small, portable and easy to understand. Using it, however, reveals more than a few flaws in the implementation of its design.
