CES 2008: Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder

We use a Sanyo Xacti camcorder at Shiny Towers, and in fact, we’re using it here at CES. We should’ve really done a video of the new model launched out here, the HD1000, but I fear the world would’ve imploded due to the whole metaness of it all.

The new model is 1920×1080, but just 1080i resolution according to Sanyo. Go figure. Waterproof, it takes 4-megapixel photos, along with a 10x optical zoom. Not too shabby, for the $800 it’s been promised as retailing for.

More angles and hand/camcorder ratio test under the jump.
