Sanyo Xacti HD Coolness

[penbandit72]

Heya! I just upgraded from a sony cyber shot to a sanyo xacti HD, but now I'm not so sure it was a smart move... Are you satisfied with yours? Thank you kindly...

[SolOtis]

you said that the battery isn't so great... how long does it last on a full charge typically?

[BusanKevin]

only about 45mins to an hour!

[SolOtis]

ooh... that really is bad. Thanks for replying! Love your videos!

[BusanKevin]

no worries :)

[ratulcool1]

I have an iMac too.... love it !!!

[Degenskonto]

What'd it cost?

[BusanKevin]

25,200¥....about $280 canadian. That didn't include the memory card though.

[Degenskonto]

Wow thats pretty cheap. A decent one costs like 3000 sek here

Or like 39,000 yen

[kawaiijazzy]

awesome!

[Gimmeabreakman]

jealous

[BusanKevin]

it is very cool! I'm lovin it!

Hope you're doing well :)

[Quintaxos]

Fall allergies? :o Never heard of that

[BusanKevin]

I never did either until I moved to Japan. It has been a new and not so nice experience for me. I suppose there are a lot of new trees and plant my nose is having trouble adjusting to!

[myargonauts]

2 hours of video possible with the 8gb card - would your battery last for 2 hrs of shooting?

[BusanKevin]

I can get less than an hour with the battery I have. AHHHHHH...Jason! I went back to that Brazilian BBQ place this evening. I went with my wife. We both ate til we were almost sick :) The staff were all wearing Halloween costumes....well the Japanese staff....not the Brazilian staff.

Mixel is good shorthand for megapixel.

[BusanKevin]

I suppose so. I love creating new words!

Welcome to the xacti HD family kevin teacher :)

[BusanKevin]

Thanks. I'm happy to come aboard!

[qiranger]

You'll need to get back-up battery soon!!!

[BusanKevin]

I think I will for sure. Mine doesn't last long. I will probably get one before I travel for Xmas.

[JoeCubicle]

Among my video gear, I also have a Xacti. It's the '5' model. Regular def. VERY handy.

I'll agree with you in the fact the battery is not it's strongest feature.

[AjikanPanda]

I love my Cybershot <3

[BusanKevin]

it was a camera that served me well for a long time!

[APOKALYPSE34]

I got the CG-10 it works wonders! So you will enjoy your Xacti too the fullest!

[BusanKevin]

it is a nifty little camera!

[kendash]

awesome! i just jumped onto the xacti bandwagon myself. can't wait til it gets here. TOYS!

i'm right there with you with the fall allergies... shite i say.

[BusanKevin]

sweet! Hope it arrives soon. it is a great little camera!

[Last7Azn]

Awesome Kevin!!!

[bestiaccia]

Cool!!

[reymiland]

Cool hardware dude! Looking at the Xacti on Amazon and the prices are not too bad for HD.

Way to go!

[softypapa]

Hey Kevin, Thanks for showing us your cool new camera! I watched the videos you made using it and the quality looked great! How much time do you think you can get out of that battery on a full charge? -Kurt :-)

[MicknFumi]

Always assumed you had like an Xacti with the viewfinder reversed in your walking dude vids, your old cam served you well...My cams an xacti, fumi went for the sony hanycam. I prefer the xacti though, they're so small & quality is pretty good : )

[benzone50]

Nice little xacti!

[Yoshoku]

what are you using to record your self this time? hmmmmm i wonder ^^

[BusanKevin]

I was using the iSight camera that is built into my iMac :)

[syriangamer]

I hope you didnt just buy a new iMac since they just released some new models!

[BusanKevin]

Got mine in the beginning of August.

[RisuMiso]

I've been wanting one of those for ages! Maybe santa will be good to me. I read that you can take pictures while recording video with a xacti. Pretty cool.

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Sanyo Xacti Range is really good, I use one and love the quality! I managed to pick up a spare battery fairly cheaply in Akihabara, you could probably grab one in Den Den Town fairly easily.

[BusanKevin]

yeah. I will have to get a new battery for sure. A back up is necessary. Especially if I am going to a concert or festival!

[Daichen]

welcome to the Xacti family! nice expression at the end lol

[BusanKevin]

thanks. Feels good to join the family.
