Photo Credit: SanyoSeptember 3, 2008 (Sawf News) - The pocket-sized Sanyo Xacti E2, that works both a digital still camera and a camcorder, records high-quality, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video and 8-megapixel stills under water to a depth of five feet for up to one hour at a time.
Designed to operate with only one hand, the waterproof E2 is great for taking to the slopes for skiing or snowboarding, or to the beach or lake for activities such as swimming, snorkeling, surfing and water-skiing. On dry land, the versatile E2 is an equally perfect choice for shooting video and still images.
The fully submersible Xacti E2 features 'Face Chaser' technology and sequential shooting for clear and crisp shots. Sequential Shooting allows high-speed continuous shooting at 5 frames per second (for up to 10 frames) in [2M] mode. Continuous shooting at 1 frame per second (for up to 10 frames) is available in [8M] mode.
With E2 total of 8 hours of full motion video or up to 2000 8-megapixel still images can be recorded on a single 8GB SDHC memory card. Once recorded, both video and still images can be easily uploaded and viewed on a PC or Mac, personal media player such as an iPod, or shared on the internet via a video or photo sharing Website.
Other features include:
2.5-inch LCD color display that flips out and rotates for easy viewing
5x optical zoom for great close-ups
anti-shake digital image stabilizer
underwater scene mode available in scene selection menu
8 megapixel stills can also be taken while video recording
"Quick stand-by" makes it possible to start recording or playback immediately after the monitor is flipped open.
The Sanyo Xacti E2 is available now in the U.S.A. in brilliant blue or pearlescent white at $399.99 MSRP.
