Customer Rating:      Summary: Sanyo Xacti HD1000 - Review Comment: This Sanyo Xacti HD1000 HD Camcorder is excellent, all you could ever want that fits into a large Jacket pocket for carrying around.
It shoots in full 1080i, 1920x1080 via HDMI connection to your HDTV or 720p 720 lines at 60 frames per sec. (12 Mbit rate) MPEG4 H.264 codec thats very easy to edit on any modern PC.
I prefer the 720p 60fps over (full 1080i) I guess it looks better on my LCD HDTV.
The camera has a very large apature F1.8 which comes in handy for shooting in lowlight, also you can Boost the ISO away up to compensate for poor lighting without getting grainy or noisy, (very impressive)
You can plug your HD1000 footage into any external USB hard drive, then transfer and store all footage with all the supplied cables, USB, Component, HDMI, S-Video, and Composite. Its nice an convenient to just plug the Sanyo HD1000 into an external HD and store many hours of footage uncompressed without the need for a computer, the transfer is instant.
The camera is extremely well made, and beautifully designed, fits in the hand, just like a space age (Ray gun) - with an easy and intuitive functionality. Lots and lots of features to keep one busy.
I use 4GB and 8GB SDHC Memory cards (class 6 high speed), amazon.co.uk are cheapest for this type of SDHC storage media. On a 8GB SDHC Card I can record 100 mins in 720p 60fps (thats better than the competition can offer)...
The camera lens optics are razor sharp, very impressive and perform really well in most conditions.
9/10. for quality build, specs and beautiful picture quality at a decent price. Dont delay BUY today.!
oh!- nearly forgot to mention, comes with a very handy remote control, in the box with small battery ready to go, and I find it very useful when Im doing personal blogs, excellent... all included in the price.!
