DXG-569V HD: HD Camcorder For $169

You probably remember DXG's insanely cheap DXG-566V HD camcorder, the $150 answer to Sanyo's Xacti line. Well, DXG maybe didn't think the 566 was enough of a copycat: The company has totally revamped the 720p/30fps camcorder with a "sexy vertical design" to look a lot more like the Xacti. The low price is retained: the all-new DXG-569V HD only costs $170, while Xactis still cost anywhere from $260 up to $700. The DXG also only comes in silver or black, a small price to pay... literally. Specs and availability after the jump. More »

Sanyo Xacti CG9 Digital Camera Goes 9.1MP, "Chases" Faces

Sanyo's Xacti CG9 Camera/Camcorder thingy is an update to their more affordable line. It captures stills at 9.1MP, and unlike the higher end Xactis focused on HD video, this one is not much so. (They don't even specify res but the preceding CG6 is rated at "DVD quality.") More »

Up Close and Personal Video of the Sanyo Xacti

Hands-On with the Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD1000

Today we got our hands on Sanyo's Xacti HD. The world's first 1080p camcorder is more than cute—seemed like just the right weight to me, and its two-button design is simple to use. It felt cool and fast, but the experience was not perfect. Bonus gallery of me doing silly things with its form factor.

Pogue Reviews Waterproof Cams, Sanyo Xacti E1 Floats Above the Competition

Pogue takes a a few waterproof cams down to the local waterpark for testing and finds Sanyo's 6MP Xacti E1 to be of better image and video quality than the rest. I've always found the Xacti cam's nice, but the low light performance to be lacking. That doesn't matter when you're talking about beach and pool time, however. I believe its image quality is better than the other cams in this roundup, but it's only rated to 5 feet of depth. More »

Latest by scrag: I think it's probably optimal for these cameras to be negatively buoyant. If they floated, they'd be that much more difficult to take pictures with at depth. Ideally, you want them to be neutrally buoyant - but I'll take negatively more »

Sanyo Xacti E1, World's First Waterproof Camcorder

Here's the Sanyo Xacti E1, the world's first waterproof camcorder. You're not going to be taking this $500 camcorder scuba diving, because it can only be taken down to a depth of about 5 feet for an hour at a time, but still, you're not going to need a bulky underwater housing to take this 4.4-inch-tall, 8.3-ounce package in the pool.

Hybrid Cameras/Camcorders Compared: Canon TX1 vs Xacti vs Lumix

Hybrid cameras / camcorders that can shoot 720p video are an even hotter market segment now that the Canon PowerShot TX1 was introduced last week. It goes up against the Sanyo Xacti HD2, the Sanyo Xacti HD1A and the Panasonic LX2, all hybrid still cameras with HDTV solid-state recording capability. Digital Camera HQ compares and contrasts the four palm-sized shooters, and comes up with a coherent conclusion even though the site's writers haven't gotten their hands on a Canon TX1 yet. More »

Sanyo Xacti ICR-PS285RM Digital Audio Recorder Stores 2GB of your BS

Sanyo extends its Xacti brand, formerly reserved for various cameras, into digital audio recorders with its Xacti ICR-PS285RM. It stores 2GB of your ramblings in MP3, PCM, WMA, or DRM10-WMA formats. The company says this slim voice recorder is able to save CD-quality audio, and we like the fact that it has a USB plug on it, letting you connect it right to a USB port without having to lug around an extra cable.

Sanyo Xacti DMX-CG6

This is Sanyo's latest addition to their line of Xacti handheld video cams. The DMX-CG6 is an upgrade from the DMX-C6 (or X6, as it is known over here). It is a tad smaller and includes a nice 2.5-inch screen. It has a 6-megapixel sensor and uses fancy pants Sanyo technologies for high-quality video. The DMX-CG6 will be available in a silver, blue or pink (!!) for $430ish in late November. – Travis Hudson More »

Sanyo Xacti CA6 Waterproof Camera

How does 6-megapixels of water-resistant digital fun sound? Sanyo hopes you're saying, "sounds like lots of fun!" because their Xacti CA6 looks like it cost them a little bit in the R&D department. Besides being water-resistant, which is a nice plus if you find that your camera is always getting splashed when taking those once-in-a-lifetime, oh-so-perfect shots, the Xacti CA6 is a fairly standard digital camera. It can record MPEG movies up to a resolution of 640x480 pixels, which if I remember correctly, was the resolution of my desktop only a few years ago. More »

Slightly Updated: Sanyo HD1a Solid-State HD Camcorder

Although some critics were unimpressed with the Sanyo Xacti HD1 when it was rolled out in January, calling its quality "disastrous," it still has the bragging rights as the smallest and lightest high-definition digital media camera. Now Sanyo has updated the mini-shooter, calling it the Xacti HD-1a, which still has that unique ability to record both 720p HD video and 5.1-megapixel stills on an SD flash memory card. More »

Sanyo Xacti S7

Sanyo adds another addition to its Xacti line, the S7, packing 7.1 megapixels into its slimline form factor. Add to that a 2.5-inch LCD viewscreen along with video recording capability at 640x480/30fps, and you have yet another acceptable choice in this increasingly crowded field of compact shooters. One characteristic that sets the Xacti S7 apart from the burgeoning crowd is its ergonomic shape, with a slight bulge on its right side just under the shutter release that makes it easier to grip.

Sanyo's Xacti HD1-For Real

sanyoEarlier this month, we showed you some pics and specs for the Sanyo Xacti HD1 high definition digital media camera—from Portugal—but we can now safely introduce the new product, which will be shown at CES. Being touted as the world's smallest (3.1" W x 4.7" H x 1.4" D) and lightest (8.3 ounces) HD digital media camera, it can record both 720p high-definition video and 5.1 megapixel digital still images to a standard SD flash memory card and is going for about $800 in March of 2006. What makes it so high-end is its high-precision LSI (large-scale integration) for image processing, which lets it execute a vast number of calculations in a short period of time. An ultra-clear 2.2-inch SANYO-developed OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees for easier shooting options. Other features include a 10x optical zoom lens, 5.36 megapixel CCD and 16:9 widescreen format. More »

Sanyo Xacti DSC-S6

The Sanyo Xacti is cool because it has a "touch sensitive" shutter button. I know, smartass, all buttons are touch sensitive. But this one requires no pressing. You just tap it and it takes the picture, reducing the picture taking speed considerably and generally making life easier for you and me. Specs? Yeah, we got some specs: 3X optical zoom, 6-megapixel CMOS, 15MB built-in memory. Nice design. More »
