Sanyo Xacti HD1010 4MP MPEG4 High Definition 1080i/1080p Camcorder user reviews

"I have had many a camcorder in my day. From VHS to HI-8 to miniDV. One of the best features of this camera is that it is tape-less. Beyond that it record superb HD quality and fits in my hoody pocket. The pictures it takes are good too. Although it is listed as only taking 4mp pics, there is a setting in the camera that lets you take shots up to 8mp.

There is a built in hot shoe for accessories such as an external lapel mic or external light.

It is a small camera so it can be tricky keeping it steady. I recommend a tripod or monopod if you need stability with your video.

I usually downscale the video to a TV quality since I like to edit my video in post production with Premiere Pro. The HD quality is beyond my computer's ability, but it is nice having that potential.

I recommend this camera to anyone that wants a fully featured, sturdy, hand-held, multi-purposed camera for under $700 bucks. I really like this camera and have been using it for about 1 year now. I take it to concerts, shows and even use it for work interviews. "

"This is an excellent consumer or even prosumer grade camcorder. Image quality is great and indoor light image quality is much improved over the first Sanyo HD 1 from 2 years ago. As some have complained about the image stabilization control, it is true to some degree. Walking while shooting will produce nearly as great a shaking image as not using the image stabilization. However, if your standing still and moving the camera in normal, non jarring movements, it will do a good job of stabilizing the image. This too is an improvement over the old HD 1 (which I still own), but I believe it's one area where Canon has an advantage, using optical instead of digital image stabilization. Sanyo's advantage for me is in the ergonomics of the design and the price.It comes down to what's more important to you.Finally, the free Nero editing/DVD/Blu-Ray authoring is very good for editing even 1080p HD footage. It could be more intuitive in its functions, but once you learn it, it's easy. "

"i bought the xacti specifically for my 2 week vacation in japan... i'm very satisfied with the results...the video and pics are superb... i took 2 batteries...but only needed one for a full day of shooting... i took 2 16gb sd cards and used 80% of both...so...these cards are very adequate for the avg traveller...

i did a lot of filming while walking and the vids were jiggly...so...when i wanted to see something specifically...i'd stop walking and shoot still...this worked great as i'll be able to edit out a lot of the boring walking parts... while filming in the car...the vids came out much much more stable. i did use the still pic mode too...they turned out great...

the nero that came with the cam is out of date...but...i was lucky that nero 8 came out with a $[...] buck rebate...so...it cost me $[...] bucks to upgrade...i believe nero 9 is out now... i also have a new laptop and it has all the right stuff for hd playback... quicktime doesn't work...it distorts the vids...

so...i highly recommend the xacti hd1010...bon voyage... "

"Easy to use out of the box. Handed it to a nephew and he was filming in a minute. Brilliant quality image. Practical. Beautifull little camera. Easy transfer to the PC. Now i have to learn more about video editing.

(Never get the Xacti holster for it, it's absolute rubish. The camera simply does not fit and can easily fall out. Mine did and luckily nothing happened to it. The included black cloth bag is good. I later got a camera bag with zippers. Much better.) "
