Amazon.com Product Description
The Sanyo VPC-C6 Xacti Digital Media Camera with 5x Optical Zoom is a compact digital media device that combines the functionality of a digital camera and a digital camcorder. Different than a standard digital camera that shoots short video clips, the VPC-C6 offers advanced video performance and high-quality stills in one small, lightweight camera.
The Xacti C6 employs Sanyo's proprietary image-adaptive data processing technology, which enables you to shoot MPEG-4 movies and 6.0-megapixel stills simultaneously. Movies are recorded clearly, with TV-like picture quality (VGA/30 frames per second [fps]). The C6 also features a 60 fps playback function for smooth movie playback on your TV screen, along with high-sensitivity technology that enables you to shoot beautiful moves in low-light conditions.
Leading the C6's charge towards crisp digital video and stills is the prominently displayed, highly efficient 5x optical zoom lens. The lens features 12 elements designed in nine groups with a built-in neutral density filter, and a maximum aperture of f3.5 for wide and f4.7 in telephoto angles. This construction allows for clear images in even low-light situations. Combine the optical zoom with a 12x digital zoom, and the C6 is capable of a total 60x zoom. The C6 features a two-inch low-temperature polysilicon color TFT LCD display with 210,000 total pixels. The display flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees on an axis for taking great video or still images from otherwise-difficult-to-view positions. And when not in use, the screen tucks securely back into the side of the camera for a pocket-sized portability and convenience.
As with all of Sanyo's previous digital media cameras, the C6 can record still images in addition to video. The C6 employs a richly detailed CCD and the same data processing technology used for shooting video. This ensures low digital noise in dark shooting locations, as well as beautiful realization of skin tones and colors. While conventional digital camcorders can often snap stills, they are usually low quality. And while conventional digital cameras can record short video, they are frequently grainy with a slow response speed. The Xacti C6 can do it all, recording both 6.0-megapixel still images and digital video on the same unit. You can even snap a still image while recording digital video with the simple press of the shutter button.
The Xacti C6 is ultra thin (it's less than one-inch wide!) and ergonomically designed. The hand grip and lenses are angled to enable a natural shooting style, and the thumb-operated controls make it exceptionally easy to use whenever opportunity strikes. Sanyo was thinking chic and classy when they designed this camera. The attractive color suggests a luxurious jewelry motif, and the shape and size make it easy to carry around with you every day, just as you would a stylish and tasteful fashion accessory.
Sanyo also makes it a breeze to connect the Xacti C6 to a TV, VCR, PC, or DVD recorder. This means you can easily play back recorded images and stills on your home entertainment system, or make back-up copies of your recorded content while you're enjoying the footage. When you're done enjoying the show, simply place the Xacti C6 into the included docking station to save recorded clips and stills to your computer's hard drive where they can be edited and archived.

The Underestimated Sanyo Xacti
I think a lot of people underestimate this camera, i bought this for 250.00 at radio shack around Christmas of 2007 on sale, also the display. The warranty was about 55.00 dollars for two years. I think that a lot of users just don't know how to use this camera. If you go into the settings and change the filters, or image size or even the mode, auto,fireworks, sports, etc. I typically use the sports setting making picture virtually clear. Also when taking a picture you slightly press in on the camera button do the green box shows up, there's no flash delay. I love taking pictures with the Black and white filter with the sports setting,the sports setting allows no blurriness. Pictures look professional and a lot people ask me where i get my pictures done. When outside take off the flash, let the sun do it for you. The video setting lets you upgrade your picture setting to HD-quality. People need to just have fun and explore this camera. Like I said before, this camera is so underestimated.
Close but no cigar
I bought this camera because I was hoping for a small, portable camcorder that would also take okay pictures. I brought it on a family beach vacation for a week and returned it as soon as I got back. First of all, I should have tried the water resistant/proof model instead - I don't know what I was thinking. The camcorder and the camera are both pretty good in sunlight/outdoor situations. They pretty much stink indoors or if you need to use the flash. The camera response time is sooooooo slow, especially with a flash. The still pictures are so blurry indoors that the subject looks transparent. It produces too many video files to manage easily (this is my first digital camcorder so this may be the case with all of them but boy is it cumbersome because you have to watch each file to know what is in it - there is no thumbnail picture to help you out). Also, the files are not compatable with windows movie maker which I have been using for a while and am comfortable with. I think you are better off getting a good digital still camera that takes video for now until this form factor can be improved.
Only as a second camera
I bought this camera after using a Sony MiniDV (very small one) camera over 8 years. The image quality of Sanyo is horrible compared to my old Sony under any condition: daylight, night etc. However price, size and easy operation makes this camera a winner as you can have it with you all the time. So if you want to use this camera as a second camera for everyday use go for it, but this is not a serious replacement to a high-end camcorder.
