My Experience With Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000
I am a big fan of mini camcorders. I have owned a bunch of them in the past and couldn’t be happier with them. But as is the case with most gadgets, you get what you pay for. And a $100 camcorder does not give you super video quality. The vidoes that I took with my Flip Camcorder were good enough but they were by no means superb. Another big problem with these mini camcorders is the fact that you need to take a digital camera with you to take higher quality pictures as well. So in essence, you have to take 2 gadgets with you on the go instead of one.
iPhone 3GS is an exciting gadget and can be used to take good quality videos and decent quality pictures. But if you are anything like me and want to take high quality videos on the go, iPhone 3GS won’t do. That’s why I decided to pay a bit of money to get a Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 HD Camcorder. Xacti line caught my eyes a while back, but I had a couple of good camcorders at a time and decided to wait for better models. VPC-HD2000 is certainly a superb model.
What I love about this camcorder is the unique design. This is one powerful gadget but it feels like a mini camcorder. You can easily hold it and take high quality videos (1080p) and awesome still images (8 MP) on the go. So the next time you are going to a conference, like Comic Con, you can take killer videos and share them with your readers. The audio quality is decent as well, so you can capture every moment to its fullest.
The quality of this camera is just superb. If you think you have been capturing nice videos with your Flip HD, wait till you try VPCHD2000. You do get to store your images and videos on SD cards. I would have liked to have a big internal storage with this camcorder, but the SD cards will do.
All in all, I am pretty happy with my investment. I don’t take a lot of pictures but I do take some from time to time. Flip HD was a great camcorder but was just not doing it for me. I needed higher quality (video), and VPC-HD2000 is just the camcorder. Not only is it powerful, but it’s very portable as well. A big win – win for me.
