Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 Camcorder
This Sanyo VPC-HD1 camera looked so appealing to me. It’s small. I could carry it around in my purse without a second thought. I could catch really good video wherever I was with its HD picture quality.
Why didn’t I buy it?
Two Letters: SD. The “film†or memory storage is an SD card slot. Right now, the SD cards max out at 2 gig. At the HD quality video, that’s less than five minutes of video. Five minutes… I just want more than that.
I want to be able to film the entire birthday party, not just five minutes of it. Sure, SD cards are starting to get bigger. Panasonic has announced that they are working on a 4 gig SD card, but ten minutes is barely better than five.
This camera has a great handheld form factor and it is very sexy, but it can only last five minutes in the sack. I need a little more time than that…
