Sanyo Xacti VPC-CS1 Indoor and movement Test

I had a friend take some footage of a game. He is using the camera for the first time so please consider this fact as you look at the video.

The fact that the camera is very light, you will have to adjust it holding it firmly. The camera seems to be able to handle movement decently. Moving the zoom in and out too fast from one extreme to another will cause the camera to have difficulty with autofocus.

The Gym was not very brightly lit so it looks like the camera does very well with adjusting its sensitivity to light (ISO) to an appropriate level. The camera does a decent job following fast moving targets once it finds the proper focus.

The Audio capture performance, in my opinion, was great.

On this test I am pretty satisfied with what the camera can do if you consider what you are getting for the price.

About an hour.

Yes, how long? And what mode do you prefer to shoot in?

[BELLOBLOCK]

I found that the grip is a good idea. It helps a lot in shooting. The problem is the execution. The grip doesn't fit too well in the hand. It's thin and unshaped for a grip. Also, the zoom button will naturally cause a disturbance during recording. It's not smooth. So you have to push and your hand will shake. As this video shows, the distance zoom takes a long time to set. The flip screen is cool. overall though, It's a nice little camera to own.
