Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 Review & Rating | PCMag.com
Superb OLED...Compact...Good color...Decent menu structure....Video quality is subpar...Slow to change exposure in different lighting situations...Pricey....If your credit/debit card or other billing method can not be charged, we will bill you directly instead...The color was good, but the video should have been much sharper...I'd still like to see some help features or tips included......

The Sanyo VPC-HD1 is very expensive, and has lower photographic quality than a dedicated 5-megapixel still camera, however it is a unique product that offers features that can’t be found elsewhere...Build quality, handling and performance are good, and it is the closest thing yet to a successful hybrid still/video camera...However the latest model, the VPC-HD1,...

"They were shooting towards the sun; they were using bad lighting, etc..."

"So if you shoot in 720p mode and have reasonably good lighting to create contrast, you get AMAZING results..."

Ultra-compact design, excellent digital stills, high-definition recording at a great price...Video performance lacking, poor low-light performance, package doesn't include memory card...The concept of a palm-size DV camcorder that can record 720p high-definition video while retailing for less than $800 is certainly appealing, and the Sanyo VPC-HD1 promises exactly that...While...

Comparisons/Conclusion - Sanyo VPC-HD1 Camcorder Review - Sanyo
While limited in terms of features when compared to the HC1, the HC3 still has a number of options, ease of use, and control that will make this camcorder to the Sanyo Xacti HD1...We heartily recommend the Optura 600 over the Sanyo...with a 1/3' CCD, it has better overall color accuracy and a more natural saturation level...

However, Sanyo's VPC-HD1 is more promising, as it's capable of recording 720p HD video...It's a big drawback and makes the VPC-HD1 unsuitable for long events such as weddings, or even for taking on holiday...The quality of the video captured is not as good as we had hoped, though...Despite its compact size and ease of use, we can't recommend the VPC-HD1...
