Sanyo Xacti HD1 (VPC-HD1, DMX-HD1) Pre-Order Started

Jan 12 2006, 3:21am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Sanyo officially announced the first HD pocket camcorder HD1 in Japan today. Sanyo already announced this world's smallest HD camcorder at the CES 2006. Amazon.com has the Sanyo VPC-HD1 already available for pre-order at $799.99. It will ship March 30th.

The Sanyo Xacti HD camcorder will be known in Japan as DMX-HD1. In the US it will be called VPC-HD1 - I hate those different model numbers for the same product. The 5.1MP HD1 can record HD video with 720 lines in MPEG-4 onto SD-Cards. The compact digital camcorder features a 10x zoom.

AkihabaraNews has been at the Sanyo press-conference today and published some video footage of the event as well as a sample video taken with the Sanyo Xacti HD1. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 will sell in the US for $799.99 starting on March 30th.
Japanese consumers are supposed to be able to get their hands on one of these in February.
More details also in the Sanyo press-release (Japanese).
