Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40 4MP MPEG4 Digital Camcorder with 5.8x Optical Zoom
November 4th, 2008 | by Camcorder Reviews Blog |
Everyone loves to take video or still images but often forget to bring the camera along. It’s likely because cameras tend to be bulky. Over the past year, for example, more pictures were taken with cell-phones because the feature was there in a product you always remembered to take with you. That’s essentially the concept behind the Sanyo Xacti C40 but it isn’t a cell phone. It’s a really compact and lightweight hi-res still and video camera that uses an SD memory card to store all images. This remarkably compact digital media camera combines a totally tapeless design with cutting-edge MPEG- 4 image processing. The result is full TV resolution video with full-range stereo sound, which can be played back with clarity and detail at 60 frames per second on any big screen TV. The C40 also puts exceptional 4 megapixel still photo resolution right in the palm of your hand. In fact, you can actually capture a 4 megapixel still photo and full TV resolution video at the same time. It’s powerful, flexible, versatile, easy, and light. Take it with you!
