  Sanyo VPC-HD2
  
  Review summary: Sanyo might not be one of the marquee names when it comes to digital camcorders but the company has scored some points in recent months with the arrival of a select bunch of high-definition camcorders
  
  Pros: Good number of features and quality options, Easy to transfer footage, Decent audio performance
  
  Cons: Poor video performance
  
  Verdict: The positives outweigh the negatives, but when the negatives have to do with basic functionality, that's a problem

  Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2
  
  Review summary: The Xacti HD2 combines the functionality of a 720p high-definition digital camcorder and 7.1-megapixel digital still camera into one ergonomic, pocket-sized device. For optimized performance, a new HDMI digital interface, built into the HD2's ...
  
  Verdict: The Xacti HD2 responds to light as low as 12.5 lux in auto mode. This represents an up to 75% increase in low-light sensitivity when compared to the 50 lux auto mode capability of the previous models, the HD1 and HD1a. The HD2 responds to light as low ...

  By Will Greenwald
  
  Review summary: Sanyo's Xacti VPC-HD2 can record hi-def MPEG-4 footage at 1,280x720-pixel resolution and 30 frames per second, and shoot 7-megapixel still images at the same time as shooting video -- not bad for such a small package
  
  Pros: Small and light design ; can shoot stills and video at the same time
  
  Cons: Soft, bland video quality ; slow to focus ; irritating control stick
  
  Verdict: The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 fits hi-def video and 7-megapixel stills into a very small package, but its image quality disappoints

  Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2
  By Will Greenwald
  
  Review summary: Sanyo claims its Xacti VPC-HD2 is the smallest high-def camcorder on the market. While I can't quite confirm the superlative, it certainly is a very small, light camcorder that can fit almost an hour of 720p footage into a single 4GB SD memory card. ...
