Review on 📹 Sanyo Xacti HD1A 5.1MP MPEG4 High-Definition Camcorder: Detailed Review, Specs, and Discontinued Availability by David Gill

I think I originally gave the HD1 I bought from Revain 5 stars. While this model gave me satisfactory results, some of the reviews I read said it didn't work in many cases. I think the Oled display must have been the cause of a lot of bad luck as Sanyo appears to have replaced the Oled display with a more traditional LCD. I bought the HD1a, also from Revain, because I like more than one camera angle, whether I'm shooting home video or storing stock footage in the not-quite-primetime-ready mpeg 4 video codec, it turns out better than most of my standard videos, recorded with mini DV film cameras that I know of. I have found that by purchasing a Sanyo 49mm adapter I can attach the 2x lens I was already using and now optically zoom in on objects up close. I also bought a polarizing filter for the larger lens which really saturates the colors especially the clear blue sky. In short I think I have more confidence with the HD1a than the HD1, although it's still early days and things may change.
