Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA6

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA6 ... outer casing of the compact and ergonomic Xacti CA6 has been specially designed to protect the camera from splashes and wet hands. Now you can enjoy recording more of the action at the poolside or on the ski slopes, without having to worry about moisture from water or snow.

The Xacti CA6 employs a richly detailed 6.37-megapixel CCD and SANYO's proprietary image-adaptive data processing technology. This ensures low noise in dark areas, as well as more beautiful realization of skin colors. A high-powered 5x optical zoom lens lets you get up close and personal with your subject - even more so if you pair it with the 12x digital zoom.

The Xacti CA6 sports a vertically oriented design that's easy on your wrists - essential, given the ultra-long 80 minutes of continuous recording it can deliver. Using the highly compressed MPEG-4 format enables the Xacti CA6 to achieve 30 fps, VGA-size (640 x 480) recording. With an optional 4 GB memory card, you can store up to 4 hours of superb and memorable video clips. What's more, still and video images can be captured simultaneously.

Using the supplied cables, captured stills and video clips can be played back on your TV or PC. On your PC, you can edit them at your leisure, send them as e-mail attachments or post them on a website. Connect the camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer, and selected snapshots can be printed out from the printer with no need for a PC. Meanwhile, compatibility with Exif Print and PIM III helps to preserve the effects of the camera's original settings.
