Sanyo VPC-ZH1R Dual Camera High Definition Video w/30x Optical Zoom (Red)


Amazing camcorder bundle for the price5

I wanna keep this review short and simple but I hope it helps. This camcorder can be described in 1 word FANTASTIC!!!. First off I wanna say that I was shocked when I opened the box and found a carrying case a mini HDMI cable a spare battery and a 1 GB SD card that came with the camcorder and just receiving the extra battery alone was worth it. The reason I bought this camcorder was because I needed an HD camcorder to shoot videos to YouTube. This camera shoots in 1280x720 HD at 30 FPS and looks very crisp when playing back on your HDTV with the included Mini HDMI cable. This camcorder also shoots good still images at 2 megapixels but I would recommend only using this for videos as it was not meant to be used as a camera to take pictures.



One major plus about this camcorder is its autofocus capabilities. This camcorder has very good autofocus for being at this low price. The camcorder adjusts very quickly and is overall up to par with some higher-end HD camcorders.



One downsides I have is with the software that is included. It is not the best software but you really don't need to use the software included with the camcorder to pull any videos from the camcorder or to edit any of the video. the only plus about the software is that it has export to Youtube which is okay if you just send the video without any form of editing.



Another downside I have is with the image stabilization at long range. The camcorder tends to look like it is shaking when you're zoomed in all the way.



Overall this camcorder is worth the money you will spend on it but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of an HD camcorder such as the Canon Vixia HF200. I see it as a plus that Sanyo actually includes the extra carrying case mini HDMI cable spare battery and 1 GB SD card.More detail ...
