Photos: Hands-on with Sanyo Xacti CA65, HD700 and HD1000
Tags: sanyo
The Xacti HD1000 is the HD700's landlubbing bigger brother. According to Sanyo, it's the smallest and lightest 1,920x1,080-pixel hi-def camcorder, but these claims get passed around like a tin of Quality Street after a WeightWatchers meeting. It certainly weighs next to nothing at 311g with battery and SD card in situ.
The picture above may not look very light, but that is in fact a giant-sized model version, unless Sanyo has decided to buck the trend and go for the biggest, heaviest camcorder record to match the biggest television at CES 2008. Consumer electronics for giants! It's the future!
The normal-sized version that we had a go on packs a 1/2.5-inch, 4-megapixel CMOS sensor and is available now from £425.
