If you have ever seen any of my YouTube videos you would know that I used to have a Xacti C4 video/digital still camera. Unfortunately that camera is now dead. It started subtle with the degradation of the battery for this camera. I looked around for a new one and tried many different places but decided not to get one. Probably a bad move.
I kept using the camera and it kept on ticking. I had taken the camera to over 30 states, and taken over 8000 photos with it and probably 300 hours of video. I used it a LOT. But recently it took a turn for the worst and died. It flat out gave up. But all in all it was a trooper. Don’t expect many videos from me in the near future as it will take some time to decide on a camera that had the reliability of my Xacti.
Here is the final production of my Sanyo Xacti C4.
My Digital Video Camera crapped out on me. I was using a Sanyo Xacti C4 for the past 5 years. I took hundreds of hours of video and thousands of photos. This product worked for me flawlessly for years. Now it is dead. And with it any future Wired Kayaker Podcasts.
There are still a couple of episodes I can put together and I will. As far as getting some new equipment, well I am going to have to wait on that as I am going to be a father in about a month and a half and luxury items like a new digital video camera is going to have to wait.
Unless there is a generous sponsor out there who would like to sponsor the Wired Kayaker podcasts with some equipment. Never hurts to ask.
Here is my last video with the Sanyo. I have no complaints about this functioning of this camera for so long, just sorry to see it die.
I affixed my camera to my XShot and tapes myself as I roller bladed along the Shining Sea BikeWay.
