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]

Sanyo is showing off a new collection of Xacti camcorders. The company’s six new “dual camcorders” all shoot video as well as take high resolution still pictures. The collection contains two new camcorders that shoot 1080p video at 60 frames per second, three that are designed in a vertical “gun-like” shape, and three that look like your traditional run of the mill camcorder. One cool feature in the line of camcorders comes in the WH1 and CA9 which are both waterproof. The WH1 can reportedly handle water as deep as 10 feet, while the CA9 can only handle 5. [via DVICE]

Industrial hi def projectors are not cheap– and neither are their bulbs.  What’s more, if your projector is mounted out of reach, changing a bulb can be nothing short of a pain in the ass.  The newly revealed Sanyo LP-XTC50 features two operation modes that save your lamp from wear and tear.  First, “alternating mode” allows the switching between two projectors when the lamp has taken its peak amount of heat.  In “relay mode”, one lamp is used until it burns out and then another bulb replaces it.  Like we said, this one isn’t cheap– its expected to arrive in early January for just over $10k.

Sanyo has introduced a new WiFi enabled desktop radio. The radio can play your standard FM stations as well as tune into internet radio stations and podcasts.

The device is slated to be released first in Canada for $219.99. [via Engadget]
