I was looking for a waterproof camcorder and at Fry's this is the only Camcorder available. I just want a waterproof and doesn't expect a lot from this camera and since it was the cheapest so I have no other choice. I took my son to Laguna Beach
My son is writing the review for this. Hi, I think this little camcorder is the best you'll probably find. This camera features wonderful quality, you can film high-action, 8 GB gets you FIVE hours of recording space, and the moment you open the scre
The E1 is a great little camera for travelers. It is compact, durable ( no moving parts ) weather, and water proof and very easy to use. The video quality is good and it is extremely easy to upload video to my Macbook from the camera. This camera integrat
Hey, I have read many reviews and have wondered where to find the sanyo Xacti e-1 for cheap. Anyone have any links/ideas?
I bought this camera for its low price and ease of use. I was not disappointed. The picture quality is decent, and I can easily put my videos onto my computer (and then my Apple TV). Great way to get mementos of your kids/family.
I purchased this item for my daughter and son in law. They just had a baby and are very outdoorsy and into boating and water related sports. This couldn't be a more perfect gift. I also found a "leash" so they could keep a good grip on i
I bought this for my trip back to Ohio for our family reunion.When I was looking to finally purchase a camcorder I had several criteria points to achieve.1) Ease of operation.I needed a camcorder that was ready to capture whatever I came across when it ha
This is certainly the best camera / camcorder combination you can find. Sanyo is the pioneer in this, when it started with VPC-C1 back in 2004 (which I got it from Hong Kong). Now it has gone through several generations and improves quite a bit. The low-l
I used to be a sony/panasonic/canon user on AV products. After my 3-year-old sony Mini DV cam decided to quit, I was looking for a next-gen video cam that doesn't use those ultra-annoying tapes. (I cannot believe any people out there will still buy
I purchased the camera right before leaving on a family cruise. It was used for taking stills as well as video. There was plenty of water activity such as snorkling and swimming with dolphins and the waterproof camera came along for all the activities. Th
This is not your average camcorder. We recently purchased a new Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black) to replace our old point and shoot and realized that we missed the "Video" features of the poi
I recently visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and took a whirlpool jet boat tour. If you want more details on the tour then google it. Basically, the tour involves a high speed / open air jet boat that takes you through category 5 rapids of Niagar
I purchased this camera for our vacation in Hawaii. It worked exactly as advertised. The underwater pictures were great. The still photos were also great. It wasn't hard to point and shoot. I would recommend this camera.
I was lucky to get it as a deal of a day promotion. At first I thought I was going to regret this compulsive buy, but a what a great surprise.... I took it to my vacation trip as a video camera back up for my everio and once I started shooting I forgot c
This is a great little camera is many ways. It also has some shortcomings, but they are few and minor, so I am very happy with my purchase. I'll review both my likes and dislikes about the camera. Let me state first that I work as a film editor (us

Simply wow! Very nice product. I hope SANYO would make HD waterproof camcorder that can go deeper.
This was a Christmas gift for my son. Ordering was easy, Delivery was fast. He's experimenting, but so far is very satisfied. He's in the military so the compact size is a huge bonus as he has limited space and it's a great way for him to s
I got this camera on the net from the asia/europe market. Its called the VPC-Ca65. Its the same exact camera.. It is a fantastic camera, it works great, even underwater. I was VERY impressed with the audio and the camera works great except it is more of a
I gave this camera to my husband for Christmas. He is a total camera buff, so he turned up his nose quite a bit, especially with the Sanyo name. We went on vacation to Costa Rica and he refused to even take it with us, so, I took it anyway. The video I t
The one thing that bugs me is that on the sheet inside the box (i forgot which one-i think it was the warnings), it said you have to replace the waterproof seal after one year! To me thats ridiculous cause they said we have to pay for it. I could understa
Just got back from a trip to Antarctica, and this video camera was fantastic. When we were cruising around in the small Zodiac boats, everyone else had to put their cameras away because of the water spray, but this camera was always out, taking both very
We recently had a baby and everyone tells you to get a video camera to record the moments. I have hated video because people always have these tapes all over the place and you never end up watching them. I am however always on my Macbook Pro. This allo
I recently just bought this item off amazon about a month ago and have been looking around for six months trying to see if it was worth it. Now that I actually have it I absolutely love it. Its very small but very stable and doesnt feel cheep like i was a
I raft and Kayak whitewater rivers. We took this camera on a class 4 run on the NF American a couple of weeks ago. There was lots of carnage and rescues that I had to do. At one point during a rescue the camera was lost track of and ended up on the bottom
I bought this camera for my 13 year old son to take with him to a snowboarding camp. It is perfect for him! We also wanted this since we lived on the coast and may want to take it in the boat and not have to worry about it getting wet. It is awesome for
I bought this camera before my yearly fishing trip to Alaska and the camera functioned beautifully! I was looking for a camera that I could put in my pocket or backpack with out taking up a lot of room. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 has worked out perfectly. I d
I bought this video camera becase it was waterproof to five (5) FEET and it was excellent. we had a great vacation and got some great videos.
I have been looking for a small video camera to use and simple to use. My wife and I travel a lot and are in our golden years. Was very simple to operate and easy to play back. We love it. Not sure if we will use the waterproof feature but who knows.
I definitely like this camera. Live up here in Washington near Seattle so it's nice that if i want to mess around I can take it outside while it's raining. Recently took it down with me to San Diego and went to the beach, filmed a lot there and
I bought this camcorder a month ago and have been enjoying it ever since. I decided to get a Sanyo because my mother has an older model which I liked very much. This one seemed even more interesting due to its waterproof feature. The price of this Sanyo X
This video camera is a steal for what it can do. I just got it and have been recording a lot of concerts and outings with friends and it shoots really good video. Its also great that it fits in your pocket. I still recommend carrying around a camera bec
The light is very good in the pictures. Very portable. The battery could be better. I recommend.
It's very simple to use and you don't need to read a manual. Multi use for photos and video so it's the only thing you need for travel. Waterproof makes it great for rainy days and any water related activities even you are not in the water
You need this camcorder if you do a lot of outdoors activities. I have higher end cameras I take with me camping but I leave them in the trailer all weekend because I'm afraid they'll get damaged (like the last two!). This camera is VERY high qu
The Sanyo Xacti is amazing. Its small and compact, waterproof, takes excellent video and surprisingly good still photos. Its almost the perfect camera. I would like to add HD support and a slightly better autofocus system but other than that, pretty im
Functionally the camera is a good product. It's easy to use and download content and also compact and comfortable. The bonus is being waterproof. My first model for 4x the cost of the second died within a year, which is why I replaced it with this on
I had this item in my Cart when it was $350. The price dropped to $250 and I made my purchase right away. Then I found out that there is a new kid in town, the SANYO XACTI E2 which cost just another $100. The same price of E1 just days before. For $100 mo
After reading the positive review in "Wired" magazine, I went ahead an bought this camera. I was looking for an easy to use, durable still and video camera for capturing family activities (vacations, sporting events, everyday life, etc). From
I purchased this after seeing an ad in MacWorld detailing it's waterproof capability which would be useful for skiing and kyaking. The video is of a higher quality than I expected - like a much larger camera. It zooms well and the image is very sharp
I purchase this camera a couple couple months ago (July 07) and all in all it's worked out well. I've spent a lot of time with it under water and I've been pleased with it's performance. Pros: 1)Pretty good video resolution, even on my
Pros: compact, great video quality, waterproof Cons: poor audio quality, low battery life Other thoughts: I bought 5 additional batteries on eBay (for $20). The camera died while I was snorkeling, be very careful when you are using controls under the wate
Have you ever been in a situation where it'd be great to have a camera, but you didn't want to risk the wind, the rain, or the water on your pricey electronic equipment? This camera fills the gap and gives you the opportunity to take good image
I fell in love with this camcorder the moment I saw it. Its design is sleek and it looks so cool. Knowing that looks isn't everything I did lots of searching before buying it. It surprised me that there was no consistent opinion about it. People eith
I like the camera. The video gets jittery when you try to pan a scene. Also, the stabilizer is not real effective. The camera has trouble figuring out the light level but that is remedied by half clicking the shutter on an area with medium light for th
I took this product to Australia to film my little surf trip. The main intention was to film some water shots. I was able to do so but it was actually pretty hard. Not because of the camera but the surf kept pounding me. I figure with practice I will
Well this is a pretty sweet camcorder. But It does not soot very good video in dark settings, it loses focus alot when your shooting video in dark settings. The pictures are great during the day, basiclly everything is shoot fantastic during the day. Ni
A very good buy IMHO, with a some caveats though. One pretty well advertised feature of this camera is its capability for shooting pictures while recording. This feature has some less advertised drawbacks, however. First, it's quality is automaticall
I've been using this camera regularly for six months, and I'm satisfied. There are good things and bad things about it, though, so I'll start with the highlights. I bought the camera for it's waterproof feature, which is at the top of
I love the camara/video waterproof capabilites. It took fabulous videos and also 85% pictures. You have to practice to get yur best videos, but once you perfect it the videos are wonderful to have.
