HD2 is better (7MP still pics, HDMI compatibility via docking station, greater light sensitivity, etc.). The only advantage of the HD1 is the OLED screen.

At the same price - the HD2 is the better cameracorder

[smearsmell]

these videos are great, but I had a question. How much greater are the features of the HD2 vs. the HD1A. I wanna save a little money and buy the HD1, but im not sure how much I will regret it in the future. Any information on the two would be great from anyone

[byasa001]

The advantages of the HD2 over the HD1a are:

1. 7MP vs 5MP Still Images

2. HDMI terminal on docking station

3. High Sensitivity Mode

Please have a look at the new SANYO XACTI CA65 !!!

EXCELLENT CODEC H.264 !!! not in these 2"old model"...

I'm a owner of CA65 and I'm REALLY suprise of the quality ;-)))

[byasa001]

The VPC-CA65 was introduced into North America as the VPC-E1.

The E1 is Sanyo's WATERPROOF Cameracorder and uses the AVC / H.264 MPEG-4 file format. *

*(approximately 25% smaller file size than typical MPEG-4 files)

@poggg91 oled screens have a limited life span and are unreliable.sanyo does no use oled any more .vpc hd2 has lcd buy that

[matalan14]

@smearsmell do not buy hd1 .it has an oled screen/ organic light emitting diode screen .which is extremely unreliable .the screen can go at any time .with the vpc hd2 they use a lcd screen due to the unreliability of oled screen .check the internet you will soon find this out.sanyo should have done a product recall on vpc hd1.my email susuki4@hotmail.co.uk

Cons: Difference in sd quality and HD quality video isn't much. Video becomes extremely grainy in low lighting situations. Picture quality is pretty bad. After 2 years of use a small electric short in the lcd screen causes it to go white at certain times.

In conclusion, back in 07 this was a decent hd camera for it's size, but as everyone knows technology has come a long way in only 3 years. I would recommend a newer model Sanyo, Sony, or Canon HD camera.

@TravelScooterLondon Bought the HD2 back in 2007. I still have it and use it to this day. It's a great size camera for travel, but lacks high quality video.

Pros: Size and form factor, shoots in hd 720p as well as SD video modes. Can also take still images while recording video (has about a 2 second delay during video and picture times). Shoots well in good lighting. video file formats are shot in mpeg4 and work great for quicktime and mac users. Good for uploading straight to youtube.
