Sanyo HD1010 review
The Sanyo HD1000 is dead. Long live the HD1010 with progressive Full HD and super slow-mo mode
Sports an impressive new progressive mode, but more of an update than a sequel

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1010 review
Sanyo's Xacti VPC-HD1010 is a high-definition camcorder that's much smaller than your typical HD model, making it ideal for carrying with you around town. In fact, we found the VPC-HD1010 to be an exciting little device, full of features and capable of...
The Sanyo Xacti HD1010 is a charming little device. Its HD video comes close to the quality produced by full-sized consumer HD camcorders, and its still photos are good enough to replace a no-frills point-and-shoot digital still camera. If you’re...

Sanyo HD1010 Xacti
The HD1010 does full HD recording plus still capturing above 4 megapixels.
1080p HD recording at 30fps, photo and video recording in one.
You need large SD card capacity to handle full HD recording.

Sanyo Xacti HD1010
When most people think about video cameras, Sanyo is not the first company that comes to mind. For the past decade, the Japanese manufacturer has been...
Superb image quality for the asking price, solid low-light performance, huge array of inbuilt modes and features
Rubbish menu interface, no optical image stabiliser, underpowered optical zoom
The Sanyo Xacti HD1010 is one of the best HD camcorders we've reviewed in this price range, combining comprehensive manual features with top-grade video quality. Despite the unwieldy controls and difficult menu interface, it remains a winner.

Sanyo VPC-HD1010
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1010 ($799 MSRP) is an ultra-compact HD camcorder packed with an abundance of features and controls. While its irregular shape makes it slightly less compact than the Sony HDR-TG1, the two are direct competitors as far as video...
Take one look at the VPC-HD1010's thick instruction manual and you'll quickly realize how many features and options this little camcorder has. There are eight separate recording qualities, nine still image modes, independent aperture and shutter...

Sanyo VPC-HD1010
here aren\'t too many ultra-compact camcorders capable of delivering full 1920 x 1080 HD video. Those that do, like the Sony HDR-TG1, are usually geared towards beginners or users looking for an easy-to-use travel item. Enter the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1010...
