Sanyo Unveils 2009 Camcorder Line

Sanyo has announced its new line of camcorders for 2009 including several 1080p and a waterproof 720p model. Among the new camcorders are the 1080p 60 frames per second VPC-FH1, VPC-WH1 720p HD camcorder with 30x optical zoom that works to 10 feet under water for an hour. Other new cameras include the VPC-TH1 and VPC-CG10.

The most interesting of the new line to me is the waterproof WH1, which is offered in yellow or blue. The camera records 720p video at 30 fps and has a 2MP digital camera for still shots built-in. The LCD is a 2.5-inch model and the battery is good for up to 3 hours and 20 minutes. A digital image stabilizer is built-in for both movies and stills.

The VPC-FH1 is the high-end camera of the bunch with 1080p HD video at 60 fps, twice the normal 30 fps full motion video offers. The integrated 8MP still camera can shoot bursts at 12 fps. Super Slow Motion Playback mode on the camera can slow playback to 600 fps. Other features include 10x optical zoom, and digital image stabilization for movies and still shots.
