I wished this camera did not pushed the envelope in the 30x optical zoom. We tested this and on play back the picture was very granular and shaky. from Amazon.com I waited five months to review my Sanyo VPC-TH1 so that I could get an accurate representation on the pros and cons of the camera, and I'm glad I waited. I was a skeptical when I first began using it -- taking videos of my newborn son, who turns six months tomorrow already! from Amazon.com I was not very impressed by the image quality of the Video as well as the Still images. I have shopped around and own several other digital camcorders, and I think this is a not a very good buy at its current price. from Amazon.com I am reviewing this as a person who likes still cameras but doesn't normally use a camcorder - I took this unit out of the box, charged it, and started to use it. I did as much as I could without consulting the manual. from Amazon.com This is certainly not for those who need truly fine images. Canon and Nikon offer that, at a rather steeper price. But for those needing a basic little digital video camera to take shots of their kids to send to friends or put stuff up on youtube, it does that and more at a fair price. The hi-def is not fabulous but is somewhat better than most normal-res cameras. from Amazon.com It's not bad for the price and I did find it very easy to use. But the focus and picture quality just isn't all that good and it's not good for low light situations such as shooting indoors. I'm not the pickiest person but this is just not the camera for me. I'll probably give it to the kids to play with and I'm sure that it'll do fine for that. from Amazon.com So I have reviewed quite a few cameras..everything from a Flip, a Vado, a Canon Vixia, and now this Sanyo. My review is more about setting your expectations to a level that will allow this camera a sweet spot in your home. from Amazon.com These are the setting that my brother in law has ended up with since buying this camera, and the picture is great!! There are a lot of test shots over at Vimeo from various people who have actually have used this camera. from Amazon.com This is my third foray into the world of inexpensive HD cameras. About two years ago I bought a similar sized and priced Sony model - and I like the Sanyo much better. from Amazon.com I wholeheartedly agree with reviewer Clank of Iowa who says that if you are considering purchasing a camcorder such as the Flip Mino HD or similar type of mini camcorder in that price range, you may want to spend the extra money to get Sanyo's VPC-TH1 HD. You'll get 30 X optical zoom and superior audio recording capability and quality. from Amazon.com
