Sanyo Dual Cameras Ready to Roll
By Jared Newman
The Xacti series from Sanyo may look like regular camcorders, but they’re actually still/video hybrids, and they’re shipping right now. The flagship FH1 ($500) shoots 1080p video in H.264, and includes an 8-megapixel sensor for stills with a 10x lens and large memory buffers for better slow motion capture and burst mode. The waterproof WH1 (pictured, $400) only reaches 780p, but shoots 9-megapixel stills. At the same video resolution, the TH1 ($300) has an 8-megapixel camera, but a staggering 30x optical zoom. The CG1 ($200) rounds out the line looking different than others, with a skinny handle and vertical form. The models come in a variety of colors, which is either good or bad depending on how much you like that wicked shade of yellow seen above. [Sanyo via Electronista]
