The new waterproof Sanyo Xacti E2 camcorder captures stunning
digital video and beautiful 8-megapixel photos -- on land and
even underwater!
Practically four cameras in one, the Xacti E2 allows you to
shoot both photos and video at a park, birthday party, or
virtually anywhere else on dry land. And, when the rtunity
presents itself, you can also shoot both photos and video while
snorkeling or while just playing around in a swimming pool. This
means you can enjoy shooting at the beach, by the pool, or on the
ski slopes without worrying about submerging the camera or
getting it wet from rain or snow.
This powerful little camcorder easily records both full 640x480
resolution video at 60 fields-per-second and high-resolution
8-megapixel digital still images, all of which are handily stored
to a standard SD or SDHC flash memory card (sold separately).
Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Highlights
Designed to IPX8 international standard for waterproof The Xacti
E2 is capable of full-motion video five feet underwater
for up to 30 minutes. Incorporating a water-tight design that can
resist the pressure created when submersed at five feet, the
Xacti E2 is capable of capturing dramatic photos and video
footage underwater to share with less adventurous family members
and friends.
Incorporates the highly advanced AVC/H.264 video compression
This makes posting movies on the Internet or e-mailing them to
friends and family easier by reducing the file size. In fact, the
file size can be up to 25 percent smaller than that of typical
MPEG-4 cameras. To accomplish the complexity of encoding
AVC/H.264 in real-time on the E2, a H.264 video compression IC
was incorporated into the camera that was designed specifically
for portable consumer devices to achieve high video quality while
simultaneously reducing the system power consumption. The result
is high-quality video up to a total of 8 hours of
full-motion video with an 8 GB SDHC memory card (in TV-HQ mode).
The Xacti E2 can also record up to a total of 4 hours of video
with a 4 GB SDHC memory card, up to 2 hours with a standard 2GB
SD card, and up to 1 hours with a standard SD card.
Large, 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) The display flips
out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees on an axis that
allows you to take great video or still images from
otherwise-difficult-to-view positions, proving to be especially
useful when shooting underwater or in small rooms.
Sophisticated photo face detection and video face chaser Using a
proprietary Sanyo algorithm, the E2 automatically compensates for
distracting up-and-down or side-to-side camera movement, keeping
your subject steady and easy to follow. It accurately
distinguishes between unintentional camera shake and deliberate
camera movement. This handy feature operates in both wide-angle
and telephoto modes, giving every a solid,
professional-looking feel. It can detect faces and adjust the
focus and exposure accordingly. Faces are sensed even when they
move, allowing you to track up to 12 people at once. Automatic
exposure is applied according to the area, while automatic focus
captures the person at the center of the frame. During playback,
you can zoom in and enjoy those facial expressions in detail.
Setting the E2 camcorder apart from other video cameras begins
inside You can find an advanced 8.0-megapixel (total) CMOS image
sensor inside the E2. The large sensor allows the E2 to capture
high-resolution, 8-megapixel still images in addition to
high-quality digital videos with full-range stereo
sound.
Record up to a total of 8 hours of full motion video Or capture
up to 2000 8-megapixel still images on a 8GB SDHC memory card, up
to 4 hours of video with a 4 GB SDHC memory card, up to 2 hours
with a 2GB standard SD card, and up to 1 hours with a 1GB
standard SD card.
Import files directly into iTunes software Easy transfer to your
video-capable iPod allows you to share a quick video the next
time you are asked how the kids are doing!
Shake control mechanism Used for still pictures, it cancels both
rotational blurring that cannot be corrected by optical systems
and blurring caused by moving subjects. The E2 also incorporates
a digital image stabilizer for videos, which accurately
distinguishes between unintentional trembling and intentional
camera work such as panning and tilting -- a distinction that
some systems have difficulty making -- so that shaking is
corrected without sacrificing the natural look of your actual
camera work.
Ever need to capture still images while youre already shooting
video? The E2 enables simultaneous shooting of both 8-megapixel
still images and 640 x 480-pixel video clips with a simple press
of the shutter button during the shooting of a movie clip. You
will never need to miss another precious photo rtunity.
(Depending on the mode used to take still images, simultaneous
video clip shooting may be interrupted. While shooting video
clips, using the digital image stabilizer may change the angle of
view for still images.)
Sequential Shooting The E2 is capable of high-speed continuous
shooting at 5 frames per second (for up to 10 frames) in [2M]
mode, ensuring that you wont miss that perfect . It is also
capable of continuous shooting at 1 frame per second (for up to
10 frames) in [8M] mode. 5x optical zoom with a bright maximum
aperture of f/3.5 Consisting of 9 groups and 12 total lenses, the
E2s lens provides a fantastic field-of-view with a 38-190 mm
range (35mm equivalent). Combined with the 12x digital zoom, the
E2 provides up to 62.5x zooming capability.
Super-fast start-up Reduce your chance of missing the moment.
The Xacti E2 media camera is designed for super fast start-up and
shooting. With the tapeless design, the E2 eliminates the need to
queue up a tape deck, allowing the E2 to begin shooting in as
little as 1.7 seconds! When the E2 is powered on, closing the LCD
display puts the E2 in standby mode. Simply open the display and
the E2 automatically powers up and can begin immediately
in as little as 1.7 seconds.
Includes a high-capacity Sanyo brand lithium-ion battery The
DBL-L20U is a high-voltage, 3.7-volt battery designed to work
with the Sanyo Xacti E2 camera. High-energy density design
minimizes the battery size and weight, making it perfect for use
in small, portable cameras. The DBL-L20 is designed to resist
memory accumulation so it provides a full charge every time.
Easy playback of recorded video directly on a TV Connect the E2
to a VCR or DVD Recorder to back-up copies of recorded content.
Still images and video clips on the Xacti E2 are played back
continuously and in chronological order. The Xacti E2 offers
convenient connection to a PC. With simple drag-and-drop
operation, it's easy to save recorded video clips and still
images onto a computer's hard disk for emailing, editing or
archiving.
Easy video sharing Video on the E2 employs highly
efficient MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression. This keeps high-quality
files small, so you can upload videos to websites and blogs or
share them via podcasts or online social networks. Conveniently,
these video files dont require format conversion before being
uploaded to websites. If you know that you are filming for your
blog, you can record at a smaller file size that's suitable for
website use. You can then upload the file as-is, without needing
to resize it.
On or off, the E2 is a true work of art Ergonomically designed
to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, most video and still
functions can be easily accessed with the thumb of the hand used
to hold the camera. Available in Blue and White and the E2s
design is likely to get as much attention as your videos.
