2 out of 5 stars This cam-corder sucks   August 29, 2008
D. Hillman (CA, USA)
1 out of 4 found this review helpful

this camcorder's quality is not that good, there's a lot of noise when taking picture indoor with dim light, but large variety of iso to choose,
and it's slow on taking picture, so not a very good choice if you want to snap and go.
on the menu setting has a custom shortcut which is good, but just can't fit every thing you need.
after the picture now the video, the video basically sucks...
so over all it's just not good
don't get too excited about it



5 out of 5 stars Ideal videocam   August 28, 2008

If you are not a professional and not making a living out of filming, this videocam should be more than enough to store and share your best moments in life. Small enough to take it anywhere, handy enough for my six year old to use it and the image shown on a 32" LCD TV is very good.


1 out of 5 stars beware of terrible quality and service   August 18, 2008

I will start by saying that this was the worst camera experience that I ever had or for that fact any of my friends ever had. I purchase the camera on April 21 on Amazon.com. After I recieved it I got the chance to take a little video and still shots. The quality of the video was impressive on the highest settings but don't view it on a HD television. The video is quite grainy. The still shots are far from a 9mp quality. We have a canon sureshot that is a 7mp that in my opinion is a by far a quality product with a true 7mp. The sanyo is not.

Second, our family planned a vacation that we were able to take the camera with. The terrible thing is, that is when the camera stopped working and since that time I have contacted Sanyo to which they told me to send it to a service center in Wheeling, IL. That location is not a Sanyo store,it is only a certified service center. They told me that after looking at the camera, that it was so new to the market that the parts would have to come from Japan so Sanyo was going to give me a new camera. I thought problem solved. Not So! I received a new camera from Sanyo to discover that it also did not work on arrival. I then contacted Sanyo and the there response was for me to send them that camera and let them verify that it would not work (to dispute there claim that it worked before it left the warehouse). I was right, and they decided to send me a 3rd camera which I recieved this past Friday. I thought third times a charm. Not So!!!

This 3rd camera turned on Friday, Saturday but not on Sunday. I have since contacted Sanyo this Monday morning a asked for a refund. The lady on the other end of the phone said she would have to ask her supervisor and that she would call me right back. That was over 2 hours ago.

I'm not sure what will happen on there end, but I can tell you that I will never buy a Sanyo product again and I advise everyone else I can also.



4 out of 5 stars Great camera in bright light   August 15, 2008
C. Sigrist (Santa Rosa, CA USA)

I have owned this camera for about 2 months. It replaced a Sony DSC-M1 that, sadly, took a swim in a pool. Camera size is it's best feature. Having hi-res stills and video in one unit is great. In bright light the video is good (better than the M1). Stills are very good too. When you look at the stills at 100% there is a lot of artifacting, but at 9MP, it's only going to be an issue when printing large format. In low light, the camera does not function as well. Video is very grainy and stills are not great. If you are going to be doing much low light recording this is not the camera for you. Audio is good.

Overall, I would recommend this product - primarily for it's video/still hybrid capability. Having both options in a small package means I never have to debate whether I want to carry my camera with me.



5 out of 5 stars Great little camera   August 10, 2008

This is a great little camera, easy to use and fun. Still pictures look great also. It is also easy to download to the computer. A lot of camera for the cost.
