Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1

By Peter (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Excellent value and very easy to use

Very light-weight construction so tends to wobble - anti-shake feature can't always prevent this showing on pictures

Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 review

By Jonathan Parkyn (cnet.co.uk)

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 certainly looks the part, and has an attractive price to boot. Combined with a healthy, no-nonsense approach to filming, it has the potential to be the ideal budget hi-def option. Unfortunately, technical limitations and slow...

Competitively priced ; Small and light ; Easy to use

Slow autofocus ; Image quality deteriorates with camera motion ; Some odd artefacts in images

Conclusion We were prepared to champion the Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 as an HD camcorder for the people, but we have to admit that we're disappointed. Under the right conditions, the VPC-TH1 can produce some great-looking footage, but its performance is...

Attractive design (especially for the asking price), decent video performance, solid array of features

Only' 720p, Xacti pistol-purists will feel betrayed, still image mode is average at best

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 (EXBL) is a good camcorder that does a fair job in most areas. Its low price tag makes up for its assorted flaws.

Sanyo camcorder a decent performer

By Chris Jager (news.com.au)

THE Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 is a compact digital camcorder that records high-definition video to SD/SDHC memory cards.

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 (EXBL) records to SDHC memory cards, which currently have a maximum capacity of 64GB. A 16 gigabyte card will net you around four hours of video at the highest possibly quality, or 11 hours in TV-SHQ/standard-definition mode
