  Sanyo VPC-HD2
  By WDC Team
  
  Review summary: Hybrid camera and HD camcorder that aims to multi-task, but does it deliver?
  
  Pros: Good design, Comprehensive manual, Size, Price
  
  Cons: Image quality for both photo and video
  
  Verdict: The VPC-HD2 improves on Sanyo's preceding models and at an improved price, but its poor image quality still affirms its status as a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

  Sanyo VPC-HD2
  
  Review summary: The HD2 is obviously designed for the YouTube moviemaker
  
  Pros: Light, portable, Easy to use, Cheapest HD cam on the market, 7.1 megapixel digital stills
  
  Cons: Difficult to differentiate between SD and HD pictures, Poor positioning of microphone
  
  Verdict: Connection to an HD Ready plasma or LCD screen comes in the form of component video or HDMI. Cleverly, the HD2 doesn't have the sockets on its chassis, instead it plugs into a base station, which houses the socketry in order to minimise the cam's size

  Sanyo VPC-HD2
  
  Review summary: When compared to the other HDV camcorders we've looked at in the past few months, the HD2 is something of an anomaly. For starters, it's produced by Sanyo, a manufacturer that isn't commonly considered one of the camcorder stalwarts
  
  Pros: Light, portable, Easy to use, Cheapest HD cam on the market, 7.1 megapixel digital stills
  
  Cons: Difficult to differentiate between SD and HD pictures, Poor positioning of microphone
  
  Verdict: Affordable and full of features, but its images fall well short of the quality we'd expect from an HD cam
