Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 High Definition SD Card Digital Video Camera
          and high capacity secure digital (hcsd) cards.gif)
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 features an Xacti HD lens, a high-speed CMOS sensor, and a newly developed high-speed processor to capture high-resolution images. These help it to record clear and smooth 1920 x 1080/60p full high-definition video despite the camera’s light and compact body. The HD2000 is also capable of high-speed shooting at 600 fps/240 fps*2. Using this feature, you can view fast-motion videos, such as sports scenes, in slow motion—impossible on a normal camera. Despite being a full high-definition video camera, the HD2000 can capture 8-megapixel photos just like those taken with a dedicated digital camera. Meanwhile, the Face Chaser function can automatically keep track of up to 12 faces even if they move, giving you hassle-free and beautiful images. The HD2000 also sports an easy-to-view 2.7” LCD screen, HDMI output, cold shoe for mounting accessories, built-in flash for photos external mic input and headphone output. NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
