Available: Summer
Price from £400
This is Sanyo's follow up to the all-conquering HD1. It is a 720p high-definition digital camcorder and a 7.1-megapixel digital still camera. It is HD TV compatible and you can record up to 21 minutes of high-definition video per gigabyte of memory space you have available.
You can purchase additional Secure Digital or Secure Digital high capacity memory cards to increase your memory space. The light sensitivity has been improved and it has retained the 10x zoom that was such a key feature on its predecessor. You can also edit your footage with an 'in camera' editing capability.
