Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 First Impressions Review at CamcorderInfo
CamcorderInfo has a first impressions review of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 and writes, “The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 is an unusual camcorder that doesn’t compare easily to anything else on the consumer market. At an MSRP of $699, it is the cheapest HD-capable camcorder available. It records a unique flavor of MPEG-4 video, at bit rates equivalent to the standard-definition MPEG-2 video seen on many DVD, HDD and flash camcorders. It produces large and very good looking stills – and above all, it’s a truly pocket-sized camcorder that will fit in many women’s jeans pockets – an achievement that no other cam we’ve reviewed matches. Unfortunately, if last year’s tests of the HD1 are an indicator of the HD2’s video performance, this will be a similarly compromised product. Last year, we found the video performance and resolution to be disappointing. Colors were too saturated, and in-camera sharpening resulted in muddy edges. Resolution at the 720p SHQ setting was slightly better than the best standard-definition camcorders of 2006 but a far cry from every 1080i cam we reviewed. … The VPC-HD2 is a tech toy more than a high-performing camcorder.”
