  Xacti VPC-HD2
  By Eric Butterfield
  
  Review summary: The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 ($699 as of May 15, 2007) is the high-definition model in the company's line of "digital media cameras," all of which record video and photos to an SD Card. Like the other models in the line, the 7.4-ounce VPC-HD2 is ...
  
  Pros: Small size High still-photo quality
  
  Cons: Subpar video quality Few features and controls
  
  Verdict: Operating the VPC-HD2 itself is straightforward, especially because it has relatively few controls. On the back you'll find a joystick, a menu button, a record/play switch, a zoom lever, and buttons for selecting video or photo recording mode. A panel ...

  Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2
  By Terry Sullivan
  
  Review summary: Last year, in my review of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1, Sanyo's first attempt at a high-definition camcorder, I wrote that its small size was a plus but that the video quality needed improvement for it to keep up with the competition. So how does this ...
  
  Pros: Compact. Good color. Very good digital still images. Very portable.
  
  Cons: Video quality could be better. Last year's nice OLED screen not on this year's model. Shutter lag evident in still shots. No optical-image stabilization.
  
  Verdict: Although it's still chasing the competition, this tiny HD camcorder offers decent video capturing and still-image capabilities, all in one handy package.
