Sanyo Introduces HD Waterproof Video Camera
So, you are going on vacation near the ocean are you? Lucky duck. I just hope you don't drop your video camera in the ocean while I am slaving away behind my desk. If you are worried about this sort of technological nightmare happening to you, then you might want to consider the Sanyo VPC-WH1YL or VPC-WH1BL waterproof HD video cameras. These cameras offer you full HD resolution and they are waterproof up to 10 feet deep. They should allow you to tape all of your pool or snorkeling escapades without worrying about destroying anything.
Boasting a resolution of 720p at 30fps, the blue VPC-WH1BL and the yellow VPC-WH1YL include a 30x optical zoom, 2.5 inch display, 3 hours and 20 minutes of film time per battery charge, and a flash for the 2MP stills you can shoot with the thing. You also get HDMI out and you can store the MPEG-4, H.264 Video on SD or SDHC card. In fact, a 16GB card can store over 3 hours of video in HD or almost 6 hours of SD. The Sanyo HD cameras also include image stablization and face recoginition. All in all, they seem like a pretty rugged and complete package.
Available now, both the VPC-WH1BL and VPC-WH1YL will cost you $399. If you order soon, you can have it in time for your summer escapades.
