Sanyo’s XACTI DMX-HD800
Posted July 30th, 2008 by Alex Ion
One of the best video cameras for bloggers, the XACTI DMX-HD700 from Sanyo is getting an update. Not sure if it was needed but the fact that we have a new gadget to play with it’s great. AkihabaraNews attended the launch event where the new Sanyo XACTI DMX-HD800 and said it’s a “huge step forward in video quality”. Along with the 8.0 megapixel 1/2.5-inch CMOS sensor, there’s a SD/SDHC slot for more memory, 5x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD and face tracking.
The new 720p video camera (it actually records in 1280×720) managed to reduce noise thanks to Sanyo’s 3DDNR filter and eased up the way the video is pulled out, to your PC thanks to an improved interface.
Reviews should come out pretty soon, and I bet they’re going to be positive, but meanwhile all we know is that the camera goes on sale in Japan on August 22nd for ¥50,000 (some $465).
