Looks very cool indeed, and so small for full HD! If I had the money I'd buy one, but I still got my Panasonic GS400 mini-DV 2 years ago... so a fully digital camera will have to wait a few years :)
Danny, Although I just bought a Sony HandyCam, I am curious about Sanyo's Xacti. And since you own one and you're also a fellow Macintosh user, How well does the Xacti go with Mac's iMovie and Final Cut? PS. thanks for the Haruhi Bunny Wallpaper! It's gracing my desktop now. ^_^
i'm not much of a digicam enthusiast, but definitely will buy one of these when it's more affordable for me...
it's triple the price of your old model?! wow.. no wonder you said you couldn't buy it. how bought selling your old cam and trade in for a new one? Imustbemadtosaythis.. oh ya, is sanyo's digicam good?
wow, not bad..but not in need... it design abit like hair dryer, :p, just kidding...
Oh I want one.. though I get by doing short movies with my u780 in pretty shocking res. I would most likely use this thing solid for a week, then hardly ever again hehe.
@__@ 120,000 yen only for something so small and powerful? thats cheap for 1080p vid cam. "Support of SD and SDHC, HDMI output, Use the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec and can record up to 1h25 minutes in Full-HD quality with a 8GB SDHC Card… Our Xacti has a 10x optical Zoom." now where do i get it?
Mmmm, I want one. I would never use it, but I want one. Beautiful piece of technology there =D
In the constant need of one digital video camera but bet it's price is sky high T_T. Can anybody tell me any digital video camera that is reasonable in price and not outdated?
Amazing how that small thing can record in HD. That's a must buy.
A handheld camera that samll and to record in 1080p is damn awesome, not to mention 120,000 yen is cheap. Wish I could buy stuff like that though.
That looks amazingly awesome... but the price will set me back T___T
I'm going to go out and buy this just to piss you off. hehe...
All, Just corrected the typo's ^^; pp, The following online shop will have it in stock. http://www.geekstuff4u.com/ Tiny Red Man, The photo and film capabilities are excellent. jorweeck, All the Xacti stuff so far has been mac friendly.
roy61, You cant afford it after buying your new car ^^;
these digi-cams look awesome, also as i am in the market for a digi cam that can do both great video & pictures for a decent price. oh the joys of living in japan (or just asia in general) where new technology can be bought for dirt cheap *Sigh* DANNY! when you get into a high enough position in life - please campaign against the European V.A.T system & gross over pricing/price fixing. its not our fault that Sony admits to charging us 40% more for a ps3 then they would for Non-Euro folks such as americans or canadians....life aint fair!
OO Danny this DMX looks AWESOME! I saw also AK.news, really impressive. Onestly i think ur current one is grate too, i asked you about inside menu language, remember? I think this one too is only in japanese...^^, am i worng? Mmmm i have to think about get one, next time i'll be in Japan, maybe it's time to learn japanese from my wife...^^ Bye
Hayden, 40%?! Gorgo, My model is Japanese menus only and as far as I know this is too.
Dang! That looks really coolsome! Would love to get one of those! I haven't had any video camera since that giant 'handycam' age.. Should I get a macro lens or that? Hmm.. Btw, PS3 is ridiculously expensive here, too.. The last I saw was A$989..
that is awesome, but expensive :'(
hey Danny, just tell your wife, "how can I take a decent video of you with a crap camera". ^^; then again the line didn't work for me as well. >.< btw, is the DHX-HD1000 waterproof as well? ^^
i really need a new video cam. the last video cam that my family had was a Video 8 camera and that's old lolz XDDD
ooo it looks really pretti
So small! at least for HD one. Definitely will go well together with a huge DSLR camera to get even more coverage. Video for digicam even on VGA size is just barely good enough for youTube.
Ooo, blue neon lol, I wouldn't mind getting one of these myself. Being able to plug it in directly and view the video would be a great time saver over what I have now.
Looks very cool, but not cheap either. I want one =D
DUDE!!! Bad for me too man. I bought my HD xacti less than a month ago! And this one completely owns mine. Later Danny
dun need one but its cool... i never find any use for video cam or digital cam in the end -.-", they always just "sit" in my room
Good stuff. I'd definitely spring for one of those, but right now I'm more interested in getting my hands on one of those 1Ds Mark III's. :P
Danny, I believe you're a real consumer (unlike me). Going for envy and frustration at the sight of a new model is how companies in a capitalist world want us to react. (I don't want to enter this conspiracy, though) That is too bad for you, really, but it is nice to have a new, even if a tiny bit outdated model... That makes me think of computers, televisions and other disc players, that are obviously following the same pattern. "Be happy with what you already have, because there could be worse" is one of my mottoes. As long as it works, it is fine. :)
What is the megapixel of the camera (the one that you take pictures with)? How is the quality?
Would really like to get my hands on one of those, these are the things that make you realize how tecnology advanced so fast in just 10 years...AND I LOVE IT!!! ^^
danny I didn't know you were married!
small HD cam >_< JEALOUSY!!!! lol
800万画素相当の写真記録が可能 this means 8 mega pixel still photos right? And does 1080i camera typically also take 720i videos? If so I kinda feel bad bought the Canon tx1 too :(
That is the coolest form factor evar! Looks like a radar gun. Imagine what the indie filmer could do with that!
If you're getting this, why not do a raffle for your xacti? Your wife shouldn't mind if you get the DMX-HD1000 and you raffle off your old xacti to your loyal viewers! I mean, it's business!
wow it looks great.. really amazing how such stuff can be compacted in to such a small shell. wonder if it will be sold in singapore.
I'm more in need of a digital camera than a video camera right now. That is one beautiful piece of gadgetry right there. Awesomeness. And it cheap as well. Now if they can just introduce a water proof version. ^^ Why don't you sell your xacti videocam and buy this one danny?
it really looks nice, and of course real nice with the price tag too lol..
How is the video quality in low light condition Danny.
I'm surprised at how small that thing is. At this rate, I'd give 5 years until a mobile phone with HD recording AND entry level dslr capability comes out.
I would love one for xmas. Nice compact and great quality. Wonder when it will be available outside Japan. Anybody knows?
DreamcastDC, Surprisingly good. BeLe, I only need a camera for web stuff right now so I guess I should be OK (for a while ^^;) Hao, Yes - but its Full HD. Ap, I think its about 5. D Blade, Well said. Marvin, Stick the DHX-HD1000 and you will cry ^^
such a small hd camera. Need to know when it becomes available over here
I think it's 4.0 mega-pixels for still images though.. The full specifications can be found here: http://www.sanyo.co.jp/koho/hypertext4-eng/0708/0830-1e.html It's releasing somewhere in the middle of this month.. I really want HD1000!!! T^T
Got mine this weekend and I must confess that I am surprised in how good (and sexy!) this little gadget is. In the contrary that many should be thinking, the HD1000 is a serious camera delivering seriously good quality video. I have owned pro-consumer and professional cameras and believe when I say that the HD1000 is truly amazing - you can get my first impressions and a couple of very short sample movies in my website at www.bleepsblops.com
