 Sanyo Xacti HD1000 Compact HD Camcorder/CameraJan 21, 2010
Love the small portable size. It's easy to use, too. The zoom capability is phenomenal. Don't even need the digital zoom. HD quality picture is superb, even when played back on our big 42" HD TV. Takes very nice still pictures also. Battery life isn't bad at all. Took many short movies of the scenery on a trip to Utah. Zion National Park was amazing! Looks just as great at home on the TV.
Excellant and innovative productOct 14, 2009
A few negative reviews did not stop me, and I'm very glad I went this direction. I just hope my review is not too late, hopefully prospective buyers of updated models will see this.
The ease of use with our widescreen is key. We just pop the camera in it's charging base and can randomly access any video we have ever taken from the easy chair with the tiny remote provided. The trick (and only difficulty we had) was to purchase a "fat 32" format off-line drive, not to try to reformat one which was originally manufactured with a different std. A 500 gigabyte drive holds years of hi-def from this camera.
The video quality is superb outdoors. Better than cable hi def. Indoors at night we had some mediocre results at first, but this is not a problem now. The optional wide angle lense allows the autofocus to work more easily, and also makes it easy to hold the camera very steady. Without the wide angle lense, this camera has a rather long lense angle. Outdoors, however, the standard lense works out well. I usually leave the wide angle at home, and this way the camera still fits in my pocket. I'm a tall guy, but yes, it fits in my pocket just fine, and that matters. To improve the color and sensitivity for indoor use, I tweaked the many control options toward indoor/night use, and now leave it that way. The trick is the little switch for "simple mode"--in good light I simply switch to simple mode, where the camera works beautifully with plain vanilla full high def. Switching back to "normal mode" instantly resets about 10 internal settings to enhance low-light shots.
I really enjoy this camera, and recomend it to anyone who can deal with a few technicalities to then achieve amazing results in an easy, even lazy way.

 Died shortly after one year!Aug 07, 2009
It was an okay camcorder to be honest, but I paid full price (688) and now it's out of warranty (1 year and a couple of months) and no chance of getting it repaired. I won't buy another Sanyo again.
At the time, I didn't have a credit card which automatically doubles warranty. I definitely recommend using one regardless of the brand now!

Don't Buy Sanyo XACTIMar 06, 2009
I purchased the XaCTI HD camera and it failed several times. I sent it in for repair three times without success. Finally, they replaced it with a refubished one. This, too crapped out and they now tell me it is out of warrenty. They completely ripped me off with this peice of SH**. Don't waste your time or money on one of these. Go with a better brand that supports their product and customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor qualityNov 22, 2008
We've returned this item within three weeks. The picture quality is very poor and unstable. It definately has a big problem with stability. The HD picture is clear but it changes the color all the time while watching the video, it is very disturbing. I do not recommend this product to anyone. We bought another HD camcorder and it is great! Good luck.
