Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 HD Video Camera

[YesYesYouAreRight]

Nice camera, I bought two and a third for my brother as a gift.

I don't think that the manufacturer has mad a better-than-this camera since this item was made.

.

I saw one of these, as new, on eBay recently, for only US$ 80.

.

.

Cheers.

[Slomal12]

Sanyo has gone out of business so you cant really buy one because if it brakes you cant get it fixed

[YesYesYouAreRight]

@Slomal12 OH, how depressing you are.

[Slomal12]

@YesYesYouAreRight

[YesYesYouAreRight]

@Slomal12

[Slomal12]

@YesYesYouAreRight . I Bought one 4 months ago

Shock me, reply with something intelligent del-boy

-Slomal12

[YesYesYouAreRight]

@Slomal12 Dear Slomal, Thanks for your message. Judging by your posted video, I don't think you actually do have one of these cameras. . They were not sold in Australia; how's that for ''intelligence''? . Been to Dubai lately? missed-out on the eBay, i see! . Are you really seventeen years old? . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[Slomal12]

@YesYesYouAreRight

No, you are right i do not have one of these cameras but i have a DXG sportster camera

[Liquadia1]

great whats the sound like! never heard it! I want a camera that will record direct from my pc audio while that will capture video

[82224561]

@Liquadia1

Hi,

I am looking also for a good sound recording.I look around the youtube,did you hear for jvc Everio which has a K2 sound technology?Take in consideration also that a Full HD,system AVCHD(1980-1080) download the videos to youtube without convert them ,thus they don't loose quality,is very important;Like jvc Everio HM650...Regards,

[quiteobserver]

how long baterry works ???

[UgoIgo]

Hmmm, I bought mine which was just B4 I swam across the lake (cruise rather with car on the train thru tunnel....heheh) to catch up with Rod Stewart's Live concert at the O2 Arena in London, on July 28th 2010. My CG10 is great but it can get MUCH more so, with higher resolutions allowed, it will never be too much or exaggerated. I'm beginning to luv my discrete little buddy, I even innovate a Fenix TK12 R5 above it for light support. TQ Tiger, for yr clip & good display of your Xacti. :))

[YesTrindell]

"why would you want something this big, when you can have something this small?" hahah that's what she said :-) 1:12

[supercheater3000]

is it even youtube compatable???

[RSOP90]

@supercheater3000 every video is youtube compatible

[UgoIgo]

@supercheater3000 - Yes it is and it will recognize your camera's recorded status to adapt and suit for the best given or recommended resolution. I hope you enjoy your movie making too... No need to cheat on the resolutions :))

[PCTechTalks]

i could use this to shoot my video reviews. plus its affordable. finally, something that doesn't cost a zillion dollars but gets the job done in HD .

[StarPhuck]

you couldnt of taking this video in HD

[Batsche86]

he definately sounds like he´d get payd for that review, hehe

[bakonfreek]

[TheUTubeTeamSucks]

This was my second Xacti - i started with the C6, which i'm now selling, and i've just got an HD1010. So my HD2 is my second camera, like the C6 was. Always liked my HD2.

so is it waterproof? cause i didnt hear him say anything about that

if not, does anyone know a good HD video/photo camera that you could take out surfing ??

[PCTechTalks]

@razzlemee not it is not. you can grab a cheap waterproof camera at the Sony website.

[belgianreaver]

hahahah I get it, at the beginning "there is no reason you should think that size is important" xD

[nitrosray]

hi

would you happen to know how to restart a sanyo vpc s1275, cause when i turn it on it says lens error then turns off, if you could please help me i would really appreciate it.

thanks.

[38Ultraman]

this camera sucks, get the HD 2000 instead.

[jannikn]

It's 2 years ago! Retard

[PedroGamerFilms]

@jannikn make it 3 years :P

[PedroGamerFilms]

@jannikn or 4

[YesYesYouAreRight]

@jannikn Don't be so rude; these are cheap now, only $100.

[pepitozclouds]

how much is it

[chazeyboy]

he flips you off at 3:24

[magnumpro1]

maybe the size of the case doesn't matter but the size of the lense does matter!!!

a 4 mp camera with a big lense and senzor is better than a 8 mp camera with the lense and senzor the size of those on a mobile phone.

[thesmartpod]

Check out the smart pod for a very cool video mount that attaches anywhere and everywhere. Works great with the xacti.

[Danny7930]

8?

the have em in 128gb and 256gb but they are extremely expensive

[oryxfreeride]

sorry but this was a useless review.

Yes we know you *like* the camera. But give us some honest unbiased facts, that would be nice.

Seems like a good camera from what I've heard elsewhere though, I'd consider looking into buying one.

[SalamanderTalent]

I have this camera and it is fking awesome

[schoolsucks1234545]

how much did you buy it for? because my girlfriend wants a camcorder and i have been looking at a lot of different ones and was wondering if you think it is worth the price?

[SalamanderTalent]

$400 and it is the best camcorder for the price for sure. I had JVC everio which cost over $500 and it sucked compared to this one.

[TheUrbanSkateboarder]

Ive seen this camera for the lowest price of $174 and the highest was $200

[specimen666DE]

good audio too?

[SalamanderTalent]

Audio is good enough. You can always buy extra mic for professional sound.

[specimen666DE]

thanks

[grizzelyB]

you can get this for free, there is a website called lockerz, if you wanna sign up message me on youtube, and ill invite you. the website has so many things, iphones,itouch,psp,ps3,xbox,ds­i. ect

[SalamanderTalent]

check my vids to see really good Sanyo picture quality. both day & night filming

[iBrianPurple]

Is this only a camcorder or a camera and a camcorder?

[UnderAlpha]

uhm...little help here^^

need some tipps on camcorder..

i wanna buy a camcorder for skate/snowboarding.

and if possible,in high def.(wanna good quality on my vids)

any suggestion??

been thinkin about the toshiba camileo s10 bcause i can easily put it in my jacket after recording,because of the size of it...

so,any ideas?

[clayfromsanantonio]

it's a 7.1 megapixel? my kodak camera is 7.2 and the videos are grainy...

[cdnskyguy]

The 7.1 Megapixel refers to still pics, not the video. It will be the same for your Kodak.

[WHATSTHEP0INT]

you got no feeling with the small camera! the smaller the camera, shakier!

[ResultzMayVary]

Anti-shake mode?

[davey0072]

This guy is so full of shit!

Small? Come on, it's not like the JVC is any bigger.

Flash away from lens reduces red-eye, but this flash is as close as it gets.

With such statements it's clear that he can't be trusted.

[pray4chicken]

does it have macro ?

[Snipza]

chill out dude.

[LikeAVideo]

DUDE is 7.1 for a CAMCORDER not a old camera you have it

[09ssl]

ugly dude!

[m3entity]

fat ugly fuck

[438426x1]

the other one it shows isnt to big, if u ask me.... the one it shows is too small and would be uncomfortable to hold

[SubscriberManTV]

That's What I'm Getting

[00pivot3lite00]

woahhhhh looks perfect where can i buy this camera

[timtak1]

I still enjoying mine. Great for youtube. The best thing is the mic jack. Not many have one. Worst thing is the way it does not deal with motion too well.

[johnbernays]

For YOU TUBE, and NOW YOU MENTION a AUX/MIC plug..WHAT IMPEDANCE? I would want BETTER QUALITY AUDIO as a LIVE PERFORMER, the VIDEO is <secondary..But your remarks have CHLLENGED those from another I submitted. ONE OTHER QUESTION, how is it for RUGGEDNESS? (Compared to a ELPH-ALL STEEL ACKET!=or a TARGET 100.00$ Video Cam which BROKE in less than 30 days..??)

[timtak1]

I am not sure of the impedance, but the sort of microphone with plug-in-power. I am not sure about a dynamic microphone...The output would be very low but it may work. I would be scared to try it bearing in mind the problems that I had with microphone jack in the past. A plug-in-power microphone is specified.

If you want good quality audio (as I do) then an external microphone is a must.

It is pretty rugged. I used to carry it around in my pocket all the time, lately in a hip pouch.

[timtak1]

I bout it for the microphone jack but it was the microphone jack that was faulty upon purchase. There were clicks. (One of my videos, about hair dye, shows the clicks). There were apparently two problems, one mechanical and one not, that were fixed under warranty. Subsequently I worried that the non-mechanical problem that was fixed might concievably have been due to the fact that I tried all sorts of microphones due to the mechanically caused clicks. Since repair I have used only spec mikes.

[TheArcticFox1]

My Sony Webbie records in 1080p

[TheSpongebobExpress]

is there a 1080p HD CMOS version?

[rockstar351311]

someone compare this to the creative vado please!!! is this better?

[petterhny]

its definately better than the creative vado...i dont know about the vado HD version...

[timtak1]

No microphone jack on the vado means that vlogging is difficult due to all the background noise.

[timtak1]

The camera records sound without an external microphone just like any other camera.

However, AFAIK normal video cameras record a lot of background noise cause they have non directional microphones and automatic gain control so that even when you are not speaking the gain ramps up to catch anysounds in the room.

This makes it difficult to vlog except at home.

The Xacti has a microphone input which means that you can use a directional micrphone and point it at your mouth.

[timtak1]

With the Xacti, you can also turn off the automatic gain control but I find that a direction microphone is enough.

The mic input would be useful if

1) You want to record music etc where sound quality is important

2) You want to do reportage ("vlogging")

3) You just want good audio quality

But if you are just taking holiday/fun videos and you don't mind the usual sound quality of normal video cameras then it is not important.

[timtak1]

Later Xacti's such as the HD1000, HD1010 and HD2000 look cooler and have progressively better picture quality especially with regard to moving things (which this camera is not good at).

However while this one creates bog standard mp4, the later cameras produce the whizz H264 files. These can require more processor power to edit and render.

I covet a later model Xacti but for Youtube Vlogging, this HD2 is ample.

[IWantLandingSnow]

This or the Creative VADO?

[ashlioffical]

how much does it cost ?

[08140607]

what store is best to buy one of those cameras from

[moviemaker933]

Don't buy from Tigerdirect. There fucking cheap fuckers. They owe me 300 bucks in rebates, and never payed me back! What a bunch of assholes.

[hitgong]

Thanks for the warning. I was about to do so. Can you tell me what they said about your rebate that is taking them so long or not at all?

[moviemaker933]

Well it was an educational rebate for school and they owe me 300 bucks. They said they had to register it on the computers or something, and that will take a month. We call back in a month, and low and behold, were not on the computers. They say call back in a month. You see were this is going, right? They just cheat you, and it pisses me the fuck off.

Comments about Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 High-Def Video Camera:

I've seen many fake "HD" cameras in operation like this one. Don't get fooled by the HD logo, it really takes a camera 8x the cost of this one to actually get a better image than a normal video camera. The image sensors are too small (physical size, not pixel count), the lens is too poor and the recording format is too limited to get a true HD image. Get a good standard definition DV camera, the picture and sound will be better.

[timtak1]

I beg to differ.

The CMOS sensor in this is large.

Trouble is that it is rumoured to have been created for a still camera. This means that for fast moving things (like sports) the picture quality is not too good. But for documentary (faces talking), or city/landscapes then the quality is very good.

That is not to say that I would call it a "true HD image" but it is better than most DV, I think.

[StreetSkate2009]

i want the jvc,becouse

better zoom

a fisheye will fit on

and it looks better

[gogoutube]

Is Sanyo a good brand for video cameras? good rep, reliable products? thinking of getting this :)

[Zolofgonnakillallya]

yes, the new one is amazing.

my friend has it and it's SOOO GOOD

[idarfg]

I can not wait until I get the video camera <3

[kill666chavs]

i was thinking about getting the newest sanyo xacti the one that is waterproof and HD or get the HD flip camera and the HD flip is cheaper and i dont have alot of cash so i might get the flip

[ripstiker333]

this camera sucks 7.1 mp u can get a att phone with 9.1mp

[ChillRoniie]

Uhh NO o.O he said BACK AND AWAY not f**k DUMASS learn how to listen.

[killa4weed4life]

he's saying fuck at 3:23

[fightingmexican707]

This is a bullshit camera 720p isn't HD well it is but not full HD people go check out the kodak zi8 that fucker records at 1080p

[steelkid43]

1080p is overkill unless you are making a movie or something professional. It takes up so much more space and will cost you quite a bit more as well.

[gogoutube]

thanks for saying that!

[decidedvoter08]

@steelkid43 Maybe for you sir, but some people look for high resolution for personal use as well. If you own a 1080p television, it's only natural to want that definition in your own video.

[CedarHillShow]

But with only 5.0 MegaPixels..

Think about..

[RobertPoirer]

this is a nice camera, how much do the newer ones cost?

[o0SikZtar0o]

i was just about to find out how much it was to buy it... but it cant record sound without that mic???

[lakeb0dom]

dude this video is old... there is a new model that has a built in stereo mic, and has a 10 mp camera.

the price range is lower that 300 dollars

[helehole]

rofl from 3:24 - 3:27 he points the f*ck-you finger

[themagicmansmind]

ok also when i "connect" this to my tv can i record videos off the tv and the mpeg-4 and the hd format are these convert able with windows movie maker

[themagicmansmind]

also does it have a small speaker built in so i can hear what im playing back

[souljaboyupindat]

yes its on side of screen

[themagicmansmind]

wait what is

[PhillzTV]

speaker

[princeofHK]

Shit review - sounds like a salesman.

Twat.

[Zvesda]

1:12

Maybe i want it on a tripod?

[TheFadedGuitar]

Wait, so no audio without a mic??

[goexplodex4]

Wait...I didnt get that.

What company is it by? Sanyo?

Is it Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo Sanyo

[lakeb0dom]

sanyo is founded in the 1950s so they ought to have great experience and superb products

[egolayer13]

Next time try to make your review less like a fucking commercial for the product.

[JackTraven2525]

Where does it say on this video that it's a review you fucking turnip.

[JkFrostz]

SHAY CARL FTW

[Sephir0th59]

This camera doesn't look like it would be comfortable to hold. Can anyone who owns it tell me otherwise?

[nowaycup]

actually i think its very good. when i take videos with it, it fits in the palm of my hand. Like when you ride a bike and hold onto the handle, something like that but a bit wider ;3

[Catiebugged]

Wait a minute, this video was made in 2007?!? So is this not a new camera???

[flowerpotproductions]

I guess its an old version...

I also think it was new too

[laksjdhfgxss]

you forgot that it was water proof...

[jux55]

...but theres much more...

[NiNjAJoNeS26]

he wishes he had something big.

[dobby240]

WHY HAVE SOMTHING THIS BIG!?!? when you can have somthing this small...

Well to be honest i would rather the bigger one :s feels like iv actaulyl bought somthing for my money instead of spending god knows how much thats no bigger than the size of a box of ciggerets

[silntdoogood]

@dobby240

actually, their not that much, they are less than $200, which for an HD cam is pretty good,considering if your lookgin at a good digital camera, your going to run like $100-150.

I was looking at getting one of these, until he said the dock charges it. I have had too many great cameras retired because the custom battery was discontinued. until they find a common battery type for this, I'll stick with my coolpix running off AAs

[silntdoogood]

@dobby240 cont.

rather than have an on board battery I need to wait for a recharge, and will eventually sop holding a charge.

In the early 2000's I bought a "flatphoto" first gen camera from radio shack, multimillion dollar prototype, awesome little camera which I'd love to still be using, but it won't hold a charge, no battery exists to replace it either. I'd love to still be using my cam quarter that records straight to VHS, but the battery died, as is the one I got to replace it :(

[trile97]

it sounds so weird lol "y have something this big??!!? when u can have something this small.... ;]

[dobby240]

hahaaa xD rather pervy but i get ya ;D lol

[jux55]

check out the size of that screen..geez thats small.

top of the line old school flaslight design. Paint it orange or red...

[petreestow]

Is there a movie camera around the same price that is better??

[XxSKATExKINGSxX]

WOW. I basicly have the same camera. Mine is a Polaroid DGV1080p HD camera. Got it for about $160.

[evildonkey]

Standard Def isn't 640x480, and 720p isnt full HD.

[McKIllaG5]

Standard definition on a crappy little camera is 640x480. For TV that's not standard def. And the guy never said 720 p was full High Definition. He said Full 720p High Definition.

[goldenretrieverz123]

is it waterproof?

[jchappy08]

yes

[Gamer686]

yep

[DaftBrian]

Crap...now I have to buy new types of SD card...damn it.

[jac01055]

no man, its the same card size and type.. the only change is the capacity..

[shadymag3r]

this mini camera is still fucking thick as hell. just like him

[shambayati195]

WHAT THE FUCK

[cheredollkiss23]

Hey I like your highly informative video.
