I have been going back and forth with a decision to buy a new digital camera. I think I want to get the Sanyo Xacti HD1A 5.1MP MPEG4 High-Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom. For the past few years I have been carrying around a Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40 4MP MPEG4 Digital Camcorder with 5.8x Optical Zoom and it has been awesome. The camera fits int he palm of your hand and aims like a gun. You use your thumb for most of the actions. You can zoom in and out with it as well as decide if you are going to take a still or a video. I’ve taken many videos with this camera as well as over 7,000 pictures. The camera has stood a good test of time and some rough handling. But I want better resolution for my Photo-A-Day pictures and I can’t carry around my Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera on all my trips. I need a pocket sized camera and I think the Sanyo Xacti HD1A 5.1MP MPEG4 High-Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom is the way to go for me.

Photo-A-Day #635 01/03/07
So I was coming out of the Target in Milford today. They had quite a selection of stuff for the new rooms in the house. I was able to pick up the power receptacle covers. We got these great looking wrought iron ones. And the last Target only had two of the ones we wanted, this Target had two more. So after I post this I will install the covers. Anyway, I was leaving Target and I saw the best looking evening sky I had seen in quite a while. I took out my camera (The Sanyo Xacti C4) and took aim. I kept getting the trees and wires in the shot so I aimed up higher. When I came home and looked at the shots I decided that the trees and wires gave the picture depth. They also allowed me to get the best colors of the evening sky in the shot. When I cropped the pictures with no trees the shots were not as good and the sky was certainly not as interesting.
