The Sanyo VPC-HD2 Xacti digital media camera with 10x optical zoom is a high-definition compact digital media device that combines both the functionality of a digital camera and a digital camcorder. Different than a standard digital camera that shoots short video clips, the VPC-HD2 offers advanced, next-generation video performance and high-quality stills in one small, lightweight camera. This powerful little device is designed to record both 720-pixel high-definition video and 7-megapixel digital still images, all of which are handily stored to a convenient SD or SDHC memory card.

1280 x 720 progressive HD video scanning Thanks to highly efficient MPEG-4 technology, the HD2 is able to create high-definition 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) videos at 30 frames per second. Thats up to three times more pixels than standard conventional video cameras. These are richly detailed images that will display beautifully on any big screen TV.

"1280 x 720 Progressive HD Video Scanning
Thanks to highly efficient MPEG-4 technology, the HD2 is able to create high-definition videos at 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second with far higher quality when compared to conventional video cameras. These are richly detailed images that will display beautifully on any big screen TV.What's more, because MPEG-4 is exceptionally efficient in the way it records digital information, higher quality videos and stills can be saved in smaller files.

"Super-fast 9Mbs Frame Rate
Transmitting data at 9 megabits per seconds ensures that camera and subject motion are smooth and natural, without the image lag or distortion that might occur in slower-responding systems.

"2.2 inch OLED Screen
The Sanyo HD2 features a SANYO 2.2 inch flip-out advanced a-Si display that offers a brighter picture, greater contrast with a much wider range of color than conventional LCD screens.

"7.1 Megapixel
7.1-megapixel (total) CCD image sensor to capture high-definition videos (at a very smooth and natural 30 fps!), with full-range stereo sound. Using a 2GB SD memory card (optional) the HD2 can record over 42 minutes of high-definition video, up to two hours of standard-definition video or up to 1190 five-megapixel digital still images.

"Built-In Image Stabilization
High-definition can't hide shaky or erratic camera shaking. That's why SANYO's HD2 comes with a sophisticated image stabilizer. It accurately distinguishes between unintentional camera shake and deliberate camera movement. This handy feature operates in both wide-angle and telephoto modes, giving every shot a solid, professional-looking feel.

"Still and High-Definition Movie Images Captured Simultaneously
The Xacti HD2 enables simultaneous shooting of 10-megapixel still images and HD (1280 x 720) movie clips, with a simple press of the shutter button during the shooting of a movie clip. Users will never need to miss another precious photo opportunity.

"Super Fast Start-Up
The Xacti HD2 high-definition media camera is designed for super fast start-up and shooting. With the tapeless design, the HD2 eliminates the need to queue up a tape deck allowing the HD2 to begin shooting in as little as 1.7 seconds! When the HD2 is powered on, closing the LCD display puts the HD2 in standby mode. Simply open the display and the HD2 automatically powers up and can begin immediately recording in as little as 1.7 seconds.
