It can compare with other high end camcorders (I still have the expensive pro Panasonic). Certainly, the picture will not as sharp and detail, but compare with a $1000 or more, what can you ask for. My friend bought a HD Sony for almost 1000 and the picture when encode to WMV is no compare to Sanyo. I bought a $700 Panasonic about 2 years ago, and this one just blow that camera away. from Amazon.com My son is writing the review for this. Hi, I think this little camcorder is the best you'll probably find. This camera features wonderful quality, you can film high-action, 8 GB gets you FIVE hours of recording space, and the moment you open the screen, the xacti is ready to film. It's easy to carry around, and less bulky, making it ideal for long hiking trips. from Amazon.com No abuse. The bad news is one year and one month later the LCD display stopped working and the microphone does not record sound even though the camera turns on and can take a picture. A phone call to Sanyo said there was nothing they could do since the warranty had expired by a few days. The flip out nature of the LCD screen has caused a flat cable type wire to fray at the joint where it opens. from Amazon.com Hey, I have read many reviews and have wondered where to find the sanyo Xacti e-1 for cheap. Anyone have any links/ideas? from Amazon.com I had this item in my Cart when it was $350. The price dropped to $250 and I made my purchase right away. Then I found out that there is a new kid in town, the SANYO XACTI E2 which cost just another $100. The same price of E1 just days before. from Amazon.com The Sanyo Xacti is amazing. Its small and compact, waterproof, takes excellent video and surprisingly good still photos. from Amazon.com Its great that its waterproof, records in ipod format and that you can use sd cards to record on. The things I dont like about it: I wish there was more optical zoom, the battery life is about 45 mins to an hour of continuous recording. The price of aftermarket batteries are cheap, but they dont last as long as the sanyo battery. The picture quality in low light conditions sucks. from Amazon.com We have a pool in our backyard with two young boys. The Xacti has been awesome at capturing really cool underwater video and pictures. Plus the camcorder is great at capturing above water and video... from Amazon.com I bought this camcorder a month ago and have been enjoying it ever since. I decided to get a Sanyo because my mother has an older model which I liked very much. This one seemed even more interesting due to its waterproof feature. from Amazon.com I bought this camera before my yearly fishing trip to Alaska and the camera functioned beautifully! I was looking for a camera that I could put in my pocket or backpack with out taking up a lot of room. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 has worked out perfectly. I dropped it in the frigid Alaskan waters a few times and the camera came out working like a charm! from Amazon.com
