Sanyo Xacti HD1010 Full HD Digital Video Camera + BONUS 16GB SD Card!

With a body measuring 90 x 112.6 x 54.5 mm and weighing just 268 g, the compact Sanyo Xacti HD1010 is easy to carry anywhere. Now you can take stunning full-HD videos any time you like. The HD1010 sports a well balanced, vertically-oriented design that fits comfortably in one hand, so you can enjoy long shooting sessions without tiring your wrist. RRP $1149. No Longer Available.

The Xacti HD1010 adopts the MPEG-4 AVC/H264 format for high-compression recording. The resulting files are small in size, yet offer picture quality as good as, or better than, DVD (MPEG-2). A new high-speed shooting mode captures up to 300 frames per second, enabling smooth and detailed slow-motion playback. And to help keep your images steady, the HD1010 uses a digital image stabilizer to eliminate the effects of unwanted shaking. More than just a movie-shooter, the dual-function Xacti HD1010 also captures still images with ease. RRP $1149.
