Japanese consumer electronics affair Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. has unveiled a extended digital camera that updates its factual Xacti HD1a tracing with some deeper features. The cool Xacti HD1 was launched at the Consumer Electronics Show a year ago, followed mid-year by the HD1a (which dropped the innovative model's OLED sample pull worth of a more standard LCD display, added a couple of new still and video resolutions, and made it possible to edit videos in-camera). One year later, and the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 follows at the exact same $699.99 price as the HD1a, but with two more megapixel of resolution. The Sanyo HD2 couples its seven megapixel imager with the exact same body and lens as the previous models.

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65 is a six megapixel camera with a 5x optical buzz lens, besides because with its CG6 sibling offers uninterpolated inanimate images to a uttermost of 2816 x 2112 pixels. Where the CG6's VGA movie outline uses the MPEG-4 succession format, the CG65 offers MPEG-4 AVC H.264 (.MP4) video - said to revenue row sizes 25% smaller than a simple MPEG-4 video.

The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG6 is a six megapixel camera with a 5x optical rush lens, further offers uninterpolated undisturbed images to a ultimate of 2816 x 2112 pixels, thanks to all since a VGA movie skeleton using the MPEG-4 tail format. CG6 images are stored on SD cards; including the newer SDHC types, trick a 2.5" flip-out LCD display serves as the sole method of framing or reviewing images.

Sony Electronics Inc. has enormous been a main player notoriety the digicams marketplace, with a disclosed range of models enjoying thundering popularity with consumers. Currently, they're maintaining what's arguably the broadest line of digicams in the industry, with multiple models in a number of distinct product lines. At the high end, they rocked the digicams world in 2001 by introducing the DSC-F707, a five megapixel model with a tack-sharp Carl Zeiss lens and a host of unprecedented features, all for under $1,000. The F707's infrared-based Night Shot and Night Framing modes and the completely unique Hologram Autofocus created a camera that could quite literally shoot (and focus) in total darkness.

The Sanyo Xacti E6 is an ultra-compact six mega pixel picture with a 3x optical flash lens that offers a somewhat trite 38 - 114mm double focal range. Probably the large nature of the Xacti E6 given its small chassis is a whopping 3.0" LCD display, which dominates almost the entire rear of the camera's smooth, pocket-friendly body.

Available from January 2006, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40 has a severely camcorder-like procreate factor, but below the gravy lurks a higher-resolution four mega pixel CCD imager that gives bona fide ever markedly of a still-camera "heart". Priced at $399, the Sanyo VPC-C40 couples this with a 5.8x optical zoom lens (with a not-wildly-bright f/3.5 - f/3.7 maximum aperture across the zoom range).

Available from January 2006, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-C6 has a utterly camcorder-like set up factor, but underneath the payment lurks a higher-resolution six megapixel CCD imager that gives right violently immeasurably of a still-camera "heart". Priced at $599, the Sanyo VPC-C6, couples this with a 5x optical zoom lens (with a not-wildly-bright f/3.5 - f/4.7 maximum aperture across the zoom range). There's no optical viewfinder - an increasingly rare option these days - and at 2.0" the LCD isn't huge either (although with 210,000 pixels it is at least rather more high-resolution than most).

Featuring intensely opposed styling to outright of the ticks DSC-Sx models, the Sanyo Xacti S6 is slightly wider than those cameras, but shorter, thinner further lighter at the matching time. This comes at the appraisal of the optical viewfinder, with the S6 instead offering a slightly larger (and just a touch higher resolution) LCD display instead. Optical resolution has been boosted to 6.0 effective mega pixels, and the zoom lens is now slightly brighter and has been extended at the wide end a little, to a 3x optical zoom.
