Review on πŸ“· Sanyo Xacti VPC-C6: 6MP MPEG4 Digital Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom - Discontinued by Manufacturer" by Chris Webb

Revainrating 2 out of 5

ideal for traveling, not for home use

This summer I wanted to visit Palestine for a wedding. The last thing I wanted was to scramble around a conspicuous camera that would break my spine and also become a problem at checkpoints and border crossings. I chose the Sanyo Xacti C6. was great. The size is amazing, it's the size of my phone and I laughed at first because I didn't find it when I opened the box. The video quality is great **FOR THIS SIZE** I was expecting the picture to be really blurry and pixelated but it wasn't too bad and even more amazing is the indoor video at night. However, the possibilities of photography are inferior to the possibilities of cinema. and don't even think about taking pictures at night. The camera performed brilliantly on my trip. But then my family used it to film their high school graduation. It was a disaster. The wedding films weren't very famous, but the backstage area was great. Again, don't use it for family moments! Now you know why I would buy a broken camera at this price because you will use it maybe 1000 times more than a regular bulky video camera. I've often used this camera to capture great holiday moments in situations where a bulky camera couldn't be carried around just because it fit in a pocket.

Pros
  • High performance lens with 5x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom
Cons
  • Slightly torn
