The Sanyo VPC-HD1a brings high definition video recording to a new, compact and low-cost level. This miniature camera resembles some digital still photo cameras in its vertical layout. It has an LED display monitor built in for new levels of power and space efficiency with increased light output and faster response times over traditional displays.
The VPC-HD1A does not use video tape for recording but uses MPEG4 compression onto inexpensive SD/SDHC cards. In fact, a 2 GB card will record over 40 minutes of HD video. Because the recording process uses no moving parts, the card can be reused far more times than a video cassette. 5.1 Megapixel digital stills, image stabilization, and wind noise reduction are just some of the many features this PC and Mac compatible stylish camera comes with.
