Sanyo VPC-HD2000A


$600.00 Released October, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Full 1080p video recording at 60FPS. 8MP still shots. 10x optical zoom.

The Cons:No optical image stabilization. No internal storage. High resolution video at higher frame rates eats through storage space at very high levels - limits recording time.

The Sanyo VPC-HD2000A is one of two ultra-affordable camcorders (VPC-FH1A and VPC-HD2000A) released in October 2009. Both of them were touted as the first digital camcorders to support iFrame, a technology that drastically improves the speed of importing, editing, and sharing videos.
