      Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700

      Review summary: Now that the high-definition format war is finally coming to an end, with Blu-ray appearing to have beaten HD DVD into submission, high-def movies are far more likely to grow in popularity

      Pros: Head-turning price, Plenty of features, Great image quality

      Cons: Fiddly controls, Sluggish autofocus

      Verdict: Cheap it may be, but the VPC-HD700 is far from the performer we'd hope it would be. Low light and movement cause all manner of problems. Even for the less demanding audience it's aimed at, this is likely to still be not quite good enough

      By Gavin Stoker

      Review summary: The pistol-like Sanyo Xacti HD700's blurb boasts of High Definition images, yet in truth its 30-frames-per-second (fps), 720p video resolution is more HD-ready than full HD (look to the more expensive HD1000 for that).

      Verdict: Lightweight and easy to use, the Sanyo Xacti HD700 looks impressive but with plastic buttons and controls its pricing feels high. Especially when you can get a good quality camcorder for around £300, and a 7Mp stills camera for £100. Ultimately, it's ...

      Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700

      By Matthew Sparkes

      Review summary: The distinctive pistol-grip Xacti camcorders have been around since 2003, when we reviewed the Sanyo VPC-C1. The video quality of the original model wasn't quite good enough to justify its high price, but things have since changed dramatically.

      Verdict: Image quality doesn't come close to an SLR, but the inclusion of HD video recording makes it a great point-and-shoot option.
