Worth every penny.......2007-12-14
I did quite a bit of research on the Sanyo Xacti and other waterproof digital video cameras. The choice was between the Sanyo, Olympus or the Pentax Optio.
I chose the Sanyo for its style, design and ease of operation.
I took the camera to Miami Beach and had a blast with it. I was not let down.
I had no problem hanging on to the Xacti even when knocked over by a wave. The quality of the video is suberb.The still images are razor sharp. The camera should be used on the highest quality setting for both still and video. I therefore suggest you buy the 4gb card.
The menu offers a large number of options for both video and still image.
Don't be intimidated by the size of the operators manual. Start with the 'Quick Start Guide' and gradually read about the other features.
The price of the camera varies from store to store. That should be your biggest problem with the purchase.
Sanyo Xacti HD2.......2007-11-28
This is a high quality camera that is not real easy to use. The docking station takes some effert to get a good connection, you just have to feel around until it is docked. The real disappointment is the software the camera linked with a touch of the button but after a week of trying I never did get a MP4 file to load into the computer. I was able load some files out of the camera with other software but not with the programs that came in the box. Where is their quality control? If the software had been of the same quality as the camera and the price had been $200.00 less, I would still have the camera.
Shady Deal.......2007-10-24
The one star is a knock against the seller, Wall Street Photo, not the Sanyo Xacti.
I purchased through Wall Street Photo via Amazon at a good price and several days later the order was cancelled by Wall Street Photo.
Amazon customer service has informed me that Wall Street claims they are out of stock. This is clearly not the case because the product is listed as in stock with a steep price increase.
Better than expected!.......2007-10-15
After having used DV tape for the past four years (Canon Elura), I wasn't expecting much with this Xacti HD1A but I was pleasantly surprised that many of the negative negative reviews posted here at Amazon weren't as bad as I thought. The fact is, your expectations have to be realistic -- DV tapes are (as David Pogue says) best for quality. But let me be honest -- quality is only one factor when choosing a camcorder for me. Rewinding is a hassle and the amount of time it took to get DV footage into my PC for editing got to be a real drag (it's in real time). With SD cards, I am burning DVDs in minutes for the grandparents, something that took me hours to do before. And believe me, grandparents aren't too concerned about the quality difference between this Sanyo and my old Canon! BTW, my Canon, which had many more moving parts, was in the shop at least once every six months. I've only had this Xacti for a week but I'm hoping that this won't be the case with this unit. So in short, unless you're shooting your first project for Sundance, you won't find anything this convenient. Believe me, I researched for four months before deciding that this HD1A was a keeper.
Great little HD camera.......2007-09-06
I received this as a gift after researching several different options and after using it for a week or so I have to report that I love it. It's just the right size for my ham sized mitts, but small enough for my pocket. It's movie quality is great for what it is. I have always taken a lot of .AVI movies with my Canon p&s cameras so portability was a must. The HD has me sold and singing the Xacti's praises. The stills are great outside, slightly better than OK inside, but again for the price and size, this is a great little camera. Takes almost an hour of HD video on a 4 gig SDHC card which you can get right here on amazon for $35. (it doesn't come with one-c'mon Sanyo) It DOES come with a great hard case and all the AV-computer cables you need, plus a great remote control that controls all aspects of the camera, not just the playback. Again, if you want an inexpensive HD that fits in your pocket this is your baby.
