Sanyo Xacti E7 Digital Camera

With an elegant and stylish design (approx. 91 x 55 x 21 mm), the XACTI E7 is the perfect companion for all sorts of occasions. The camera’s ultra-slim metal profile (21 mm) hides a large number of technical features that guarantee powerful performance from a compact camera.
Once a subject has been found, the 3x optical zoom brings it in up close. The innovative Touch Sensor activates the autofocus with just a light touch and reduces shutter delay to just 0.05 seconds. Continuous photo sequences are easily captured with the lightning-fast sequential shot function at 2.3 frames per second. Captured photos (with a resolution of 7 Megapixels) and high-quality VGA videos with audio can be viewed directly on the 2.5” LCD monitor.
Serious hobby as well as beginning photographers will welcome the wide variety of program modes. For example, the special portrait mode automatically focuses on faces and optimally illuminates them for perfect portraits every time. This mode ensures that skin tones always look natural and the red-eye correction guarantees sparkling eyes. A "dynamic" autofocus feature counters the difficulties of photographing moving objects. When this feature is activated, the autofocus system automatically tracks the subject and prevents sport players from “running out of the image”, for example.
Screenshots can be transferred directly to the XACTI E7 when the camera is connected to your computer (Windows XP) with the USB cable. You can even save and print individual photos with the capture date so that you can arrange them later.
The lithium-ion battery delivers enough power for up to 260 pictures on a single charge so that you won’t have to stop photographing even on long photo tours. The internal memory (23 MB) and removable SD cards mean you will always have sufficient storage for your data.
