Nice Looking Camera, Rubbish Footage!

Purchased this camera from an independent camera shop and used it straight away for two days. Actually using the camera was pretty easy, all the controls are laid out well and are intuitive. Unfortunately the footage this camera takes is rubbish, its...

Really great cam, it has a nice and easy form factor, with great functions. Buying this camcorder really eliminates the need to carry both a camcorder and a digital camera. The focus responsiveness in low light is a bit slow, but it is not a major...

Shiny Review: Sanyo Xacti Dual H...

By shinyshiny.tv          See video

Jan, 2009

Manufacturer's Description

The Sanyo Xacti HD2000 is truly the benchmark in high definition, offering 1920 x 1080 pixels, and 60 fields per second to record crystal clear and smooth motion for videos. These highly advanced Sanyo Xacti dual cameras not only offer the regular 1080i (interlaced) format, recording at 60 frames per second, but with the Sanyo proprietary CMOS engine, recording is possible in 1080p (progressive) format - this means the world's first dual camera recording at a full 60 frames per second.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 camcorder review

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

Sanyo has updated its flagship pistol grip camcorder with the new HD2000, but has the update been worth it? We get recording to find out. Compact but chunky, the new HD2000 replaces the HD1010 and takes a similar form factor. The pistol grip design...

Simple, easy to use, Full HD looks crisp and impressive

Basic in its feature set, you'll need a powerful computer to edit the footage, you'll need a big SD card

If the price was slightly lower, which it no doubt will be online, this is one still worth a closer look

When it comes to controlling the camcorder or digital camera elements the menus have been kept as simple as possible: this is clearly a device aimed at consumers rather than indie filmmakers. While the "normal" menu is simple enough, Sanyo, not taking...

Sanyo's VPC-HD2000 camcorder is a surprising update to the company's VPC-HD1010, which it launched just a few months ago.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 review

By Rosemary Hattersley (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 is a hybrid video and still camera.

We’re not sure whether we’d pay £500 for a combined camera and video camera given the low cost of flash-based camcorders, but if you’ve the budget for an HD model, the Sanyo Xacti HD2000 won't disappoint. If the high megapixel count is less important...

Sanyo VPC-HD2000

High-definition and high-quality photos all in one camera

Small and light; easy to operate; shoots on cheap memory cards; good microphone

Non-HD quality not great

Quality at non-HD settings lets the HD2000 down a little

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000

By James Morris (trustedreviews.com)

James takes a closer look at Sanyo's 'dual purpose' Xacti VPC-HD2000 Full HD camcorder.

With each new model, Sanyo gets that little bit closer to producing a camcorder to compete with the best available. The Xacti VPC-HD2000 is another step in the right direction. We still don't like the fact that no 50fps version more suited to European...

But the price is likely to drop below £500 fairly soon, if previous models are anything to go by. With very good video quality and photographic abilities, this may not be the master of both areas, but it's good enough to be one of the few crossover...

With its handgrip, Sanyo's VPC-HD2000 is a real point and shoot camcorder

Plenty of features for price ; Solid pictures ; Style

No hard disk ; No HDMI cable or memory card

The HD2000 is aimed at the casual user, and its easy operation and good HD pictures should keep those on a budget happy

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 camcorder review

By Joe Minihane (electricpig.co.uk)

The pistol grip camcorder has gone from Sanyo's trump card to a ubiquitous imaging gadget in just a few short years. So how does the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 compare to its cheaper, Full HD packing rivals? Will it win the £250 You've Bee Framed prize? Or...

Cheap for what it does, easy to use

Slow mo mode is awkward

A decent enough HD camcorder stuck between the ultra cheap models from Flip and the pricier Sony Handycams

Sanyo VPC-HD2000

By Gavin Stoker (digicambuyer.co.uk)

Eight-megapixel stills plus Full HD video from top-of-the-range ‘dual camera'. But is one all-encompassing device truly better than two?

Despite getting a ‘could do better' for results and performance, with the uneasy feeling that certain details have been compromised for form factor, the HD2000 is fun to use and
