Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA100 Dual Camera Review

[thebertcallens]

Is it compatibel with OSX? and by waterproof, does that really mean waterproof, like swimming in a pool or jumping into the water?

[defbear]

Can you still film with the view finder closed?

[mrmilomannowra]

only thing i dont like is sd card under the battery ,yuk

[wslandry]

Great review Dave however what is your favorite up to date small camera like this one for about the same money? I have around $350 -$400 dollars to spent right now on a compact cam. Thanks again as always for your reviews.

@wslandry Sanyo VPC-FH1.

[LoloOriginal]

Review a GoPro HD Please :D

[DomenicSlapperX]

dave im wearing a headset and the audio goes to my left ear only and im sure the headset is ok but the audio in the video has problems. and im sorry to say this dave but your old camera is better than this

[davomrmac]

@DomenicSlapperX That is down to the mic I was testing and not your headset.

[LoloOriginal]

@davomrmac I think it wasnt quite plugged in all the way. Perhaps only one contact was touching.

[davomrmac]

@LoloOriginal I tested again and it was the same.

[LoloOriginal]

@davomrmac I'm sure I dont need to tell/ask you this, but does the plug have one or two non-metallic rings? If it has one, its mono, 2 its stereo. if you are required to use an external, non built-in cord, that may be it. But if it's built in, its the mic. I'm sure you already know all this, but just in case you dont.

[davomrmac]

@LoloOriginal Yes I knew, but thanks for adding this it is great info for others to see.

[oscarhalder]

pls go back to yr regular cam. image is a lill blurry n looks low quality.

[TheTechMundo]

great review again keep it up

[visoak]

Its focus is out. BADLY

[joethetechiewiipsp]

How come its a little out of focus?

[largy1964]

Hi Dave, footage from the Sanyo was far better than the Kodak ..

[elvin2130]

@largy1964 1000 times better :)

[MortenCopenhagen]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this review. A few comments / questions:

1) Is there anything you could have done to make the review better in focus using the play touch cameras? I watched in 720p.

2) This about being water proof. Do you need to put it into some plastic case first?

3) Have you considered to change your YT name from daveonmac to Geekanoids. It would make more sens to me.

All the best

Morten

[davomrmac]

@MortenCopenhagen I could have kept switching modes on the lens to improve a little. This is waterproof no additional case needed. You can check out geekanoids and davomrmac after the youtube.com address, they both go to my channel.

[pcgamerguy1234]

how come the audio was mainly in my right ear ?

[davomrmac]

@pcgamerguy1234 Due to the mic I was testing.

[techheadkd]

Hey would you recommend this as a secondary camera a ompaning my 500d and would it be a good vlog camera?

[davomrmac]

@techheadkd Yes it would make a good 2nd camera.

[sacaulier]

Great review!

[RobinScott93]

Why is the audio so quiet and only coming out the left channel?

[davomrmac]

@RobinScott93 Due to the mic I was testing, mentioned at the start of the video.

[ecartman12]

Great video Dave as usual. In the test footage was that the VPC's built in microphone? And the quality of this video was slightly out of focus.

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 Yes, built in mic.

[benbaker13]

the audio is mono, is that normal?

[davomrmac]

@benbaker13 That is due to the mic I mention I am testing.

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

The video quality is pretty good. Though you could've uploaded the test footage at 1080p...

[mayrey1]

The video is out of focus.

[TheZetReviewer]

Nice, it's a lot bigger then I thought, judging from pictures of it.

[Godisen007]

You should record mono audio instead..... stereo isn't always better.

[DayLight95]

my right ear felt lonely :(

[koenfunny]

great review but stupid playtouch!

[M1sterHamilton]
