Sanyo VPC- C6

Pros: Compact and ultra-thin (less than an inch!) metal alloy body.

Cons: While it falls well below MiniDV quality, this hybrid camcorder can produce acceptable video/stills.

The Bottom Line: Can't get more portable than this. If you want super quality video, buy a top-of-the-range camera. If you want a really good hybrid to take anywhere this is it.

Review: The SANYO Xacti C6 is a super-slim camera that captures high resolution 6-megapixel still images, VGA quality motion video with stereo audio with 60fps playback and a voice recorder function -- and it all fits right in your pocket! The C6 is compact and ...

Pros: Tiny, Lightweight, Does stills well, video very well, SD cards (no moving parts)

Cons: Almost too small, black shows fingerprints, weak flash, low light performance

Review: Sanyo? They make cameras? Yes, and they've been supplying Nikon with lenses for years. So is it a digital camera or a digital camcorder? Both! It being a C6, it takes 6 megapixel shots all full resolution (but the flash is anemic and it definitely ...

Pros: Very small, easy to use, does great video and stills.

Cons: Will not stand on its own without a support.

Review: I always wanted a sony DPR-IP5 because it is so small and does decent video, but it costs so much. When I couldn't find one in my price range I thought I would consider the alternatives. The Xacti line is cool because it has no moving tapes and motors to ...

Pros: small, light, photo quite good till printing 30X40, vidéos in low light good,

Cons: check your guaranty: min two years; No SANYO repair in France

Review: Used it for one full year; photos in high résolution can be printed to a 30X40 cms with good result. Uing the higher sensibility (200 iso) helps you for vidéos or photos in low light. Much better than the prévious ( C5) one for videos in low light. ...
