camcorders
Sanyo's HD700 Xacti was the then smallest 720p camcorder in the world, and we liked it. Time's moved on and Sanyo has a new Xacti, the HD800, and it's apparently a great leap in video quality. The new cam has an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor, and shoots 720p video at 30fps in MPEG4 format. It's also got "three-dimensional noise reduction" for improved image sharpness, can track up to 12 faces in the scene for optimum image settings, a 5x optical zoom and can shoot down to a minimum of 3 lux. The SDHC-recording cam comes this time in whacky 70s-esque color schemes, and is available August 22nd in Japan at first, for around $460. Press release below.

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 DMX-CA8 Waterproof Camcorder has 8 Megapixels
Sanyo's new Xacti isn't much of a change over the previous version: mainly a new 8 megapixel CMOS sensor (versus the previous 6) and a "face chaser" mode. This maintains exposure and focus settings on people you're videoing or snapping. There's a new underwater shooting mode too, which corrects for blue-color light effects, and seems sensible for a cam that can be taken down to five feet underwater for an hour. The rest of the camera remains the same, including the case and 5x optical zoom. Next time give us a waterproof HD version, eh Sanyo? Available in Japan at first, mid-May, for around $490.

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 »

Sanyo Brings out Waterproof Portable TV, a Companion for the Xacti
The LVT-WD40 is a waterproof portable TV that Sanyo claims is the perfect bedfellow for its waterproof Xactic camcorder. Widescreen, and with 480x272 resolution, it will cost 50,000 ($450) when it comes out in Japan on Wednesday. File this one under "chocolate teapot," I think. [Impress]

Here's a video of Addy's painted hands on the new Sanyo Xacti. My unpainted hands found the ergonomics to be excellent, though the buttons felt a little cheap.

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.
