Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Reviews

I like it lot. The pros overweight cons hands down.

Pros:
1. Compact;
2. Waterproof;
3. Well-built;
4. Descent quality daylight photos and videos;
5. Cheap memory cards;
6. Easy and customizable UI;
7. Great close-ups;
8. Still shots while recording video - awesome!

Cons:
1. You can not see display in bright light or underwater. You do not have optical viewfinder either;
2. Flash is a joke;
3. Battery life is short. You will need 1-2 extra batteries when you travel. Fresh battery will give you 1 hour of recording w/o playback or flash;
4. Special USB cable - do not lose it;
5. Could use wider angle lens;
6. Bundled software is bugly and outdated;

To the people who have trouble reading SD card w/o cable - your card reader most likely does not support HDSD cards. Grab one that does. You won't need this cable at all, unless you plan to use the camera as a web cam.Get more detail about Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Digital Camcorder and 8 MP Digital Camera (Blue).
