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.
