Sanyo XACTI C1 Dual Shot Function

This is a cross-over product unites the digital camera and digital camcorder in a single device. Thanks to its ergonomic form, the stylish aluminum housing of Sanyo's latest ultra-compact fits your hand perfectly.

With 3.2 Megapixels, the XACTI can deliver colorful photos and entertaining movie clips with true VGA resolution. The proven SD card storage medium eliminates costly drive mechanisms. The result: A camera with a small and robust construction.

A true innovation: The digital data is stored in MPEG4 format. With a 512 MB storage card, the Digital Movie C1 can record 31 minutes of video in TV mode (640x480 resolution at 30 frames/sec.). Despite its limited storage space requirements, the MPEG4 standard delivers dazzling, high-resolution recordings – with rich 16-bit stereo sound at all times.

The data recorded in the MPEG4 format is transferred to a computer, television or DVD recorder using the supplied accessories: Either the Docking Station or USB/AV cable. Thanks to the ultra-fast USB 2.0 port, captured images and video can be transferred to computers or hi-fi units in no time at all. Because the MPEG4 format is already recognized and reproduced by numerous devices, the recorded films can be stored on other storage media directly – without time-consuming conversions to other file formats.

The "Dual Shot Function" is truly a world's first: Individual images can be taken in full 3.2 Megapixel resolution even while recording video.

Like all SANYO products, camera operation is simple and well-designed. All of the camera's functions are easily controlled with your right thumb. Thanks to the clear, ergonomic layout of the control options, users can focus completely on their subject. With the intuitive jog dial, users can "flip" through the entire menu quickly and comfortably.

The XACTI Digital Movie C1 is the ideal partner for discriminating users who want a high-quality camera with powerful digital camcorder functions. No matter whether you want to present something in your business or quickly record a family video, the ultra-compact housing and innovative features like MPEG4 recording, Dual Shot, and USB 2.0 interface will open up a new dimension in photography and video.
