Xacti DMX-HD1000 Get Reviewed

Sanyo provides a better camcorder with a better out come. Xacti DMX-HD1000 can capture photo 2288x1712 or 2496x1408 with 10x zoom. It also can record video for 720p and 1080i modes.

The HD1000 is a real HD camcorder in the palm of your hand. The 720p 12MBps videos offer a great quality and do not suffre so much from camera movements. The system is quick and you can start recording in the blink of an eye, a great possibility is to be able to take screenshoots while recording. Now the downsides; the 1080i codec and image stabilizer need to be worked on while I would suggest to remove the 10x zoom and replace it with a wide angle.

All in all the Xacti DMC-HD1000 is a nice compact HD camera recorder with its fair share of ups and downs, it proves that Sanyo is heading in the right direction and that there still is room for improvements!
