Product Description The Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder combines a FULL 1080i image quality with 4-Megapixel still images in a single compact design. Incorporating the latest high-definition CMOS sensor, the Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder captures full 1920x1080 (1080i) high-definition video at 60 frames-per-second. Designed to record the rich and vibrant colors of real life, the HD1000 also captures subtle tones to provide a natural-looking result. Sanyo's noise reduction technology helps obtain the cleanest signal while the CMOS sensor provides the responsiveness you need to capture fast moving objects. Record in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 to get exceptional video clarity and detail while maintaining the smallest file size possible. A 10x all-glass HD lens is capable allowing light through almost 4x more to assist in lower light situations. The lens provides a fantastic field-of-view with a 38-380 mm range (35 mm equivalent). A large 2.7" Widescreen LCD display flips out and rotates up to 285 degrees on an axis to take great video or stills from angles that are otherwise difficult to position, in large crowds or small rooms. It's easy to share your high-definition movies on your HD television with the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) terminal built into the base station to connect your camcorder to your TV. The Xacti HD1000 records high-definition and photos directly to a standard SD or SDHC Memory Card for a total of up to 1 hour and 25 minutes of 1080i high-definition video on an optional 8GB card. With simple drag-and-drop operation, it's easy to save recorded video clips and still images onto a computer's hard disk for emailing, editing or archiving. Adjustable Resolution Modes Organization & In-Camera Editing Robust Sound Recording Easy Camera To PC Connection Superfast Startup Manual Controls
Poor qualityNovember 22, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
We've returned this item within three weeks. The picture quality is very poor and unstable. It definately has a big problem with stability. The HD picture is clear but it changes the color all the time while watching the video, it is very disturbing. I do not recommend this product to anyone. We bought another HD camcorder and it is great! Good luck.
Great video camera..very happeNovember 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this camera. This is my fourth Xacti (C40-C6-HD700) and now HD1000. I've had it for about three months.
Night and day comparison to the older models. I only shoot in 1080x720 60fps and I'm extremely pleased. I upload all footage to Sony Vegas and render a new mp4 file for online places like Motionbox and Viemo.
Does okay at night as well. This shouldn't be compared to some JVC high end professional camera.
If you get a good price on this unit I'd go for it. I purchased mine new from Amazon @ $450
Good luck, b

Not totally Mac Compatible but CloseOctober 3, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just purchased this unit knowing it was becoming obsolete as far as the model for Sanyo. I would have to say if you consider the price, functionality, options, quality and size, this is a great deal!
My observations:
1. It is Mac compatible, expect in the "highest" HD movie recording setting. There are plug-ins that allow you to playback the video on your Mac, but for iMovie you will still have issues importing. The next lower quality (resolution) setting for me is still better than my mini-dv tape unit, and works fine with iMovie. I suggest MPEG Streamclip, a free utility to help you out.
2. The still camera function is better than I anticipated.
3. Get at least a 8gig SD card. Look for sales.
4. I would search the web for advice on how best to set the camera settings, as well as if you are a Mac user for optimal results
Enjoy!!!
