Sanyo announces new dual cameras

Posted on 24. Jan, 2009 by SciTech Shark in Gadgets

On January 23, Sanyo has launched new line of the camcorders for its Xacti line. The release includes 6 models: two compact 720p cameras (VPC-TH1 and VPC-CG10), two waterproof models (VPC-WH1 and VPC-CA9) that can be submerged up to five or 10 feet in water, and two top-of-the-line HD 1080p models (VPC-FH1 and VPC-HD2000) that record video at up to a whopping 60 frames-per-second (fps).

Xacti 2009 launch were held in several cities around the world. With this release Sanyo is focusing on shooting great images as well making great video footage. Sanyo Canada’s Bryan Asa emphasized that the company views dual cameras as being “the next generation for digital cameras”, so consequently, these models were made with equal focus on both functions in mind.

New design includes attractive features for nor both entry-level and advanced users. For one, Sanyo is, for the first time, employing traditional camcorder design concepts, having made half the line horizontal in orientation.

The specs certainly back up Sanyo’s claims of equality: video resolution on all models is high-definition (at least 720p), and still image capture on most models is 8-10 MP. The company has also announced several improvements to internal mechanics, including a new multi-blur canceller, 3D digital noise reduction and “Face Chaser” technology; Sanyo’s version of face detection. The VPC-TH1 and ‘WH1 models even incorporate an impressive 30x zoom!

Pricing ranges from $269.99 all the way up to $749.99, and all six models will be available in March.
