Sanyo Xacti VPC-C6 Movie Camera Features Include:

World's Thinnest, Smallest and Lightest Digital Movie Camera

In order to miniaturize the camera without reducing optical performance,
SANYO developed a zoom lens with high-refraction glass. High-density
packaging technology was also utilized, along with a high-precision design.
The new Xacti C6 is the world’s thinnest (23 mm), smallest (124 cc) and
lightest (140 g^*1) model among video cameras with a megapixel-or-higher
image sensor and an optical zoom lens.

New Ergonomic Style, Sophisticated Design

The Xacti C6 has been ergonomically designed for a comfortable
one-handed grip. Its advanced, cutting-edge design makes it a
fashionable portable item. The Xacti C6 comes in three colors — gold, red
and black — each of which creates an attractive finish. The control panel is
located on the back of the movie camera for simple operation. Using just
your thumb, you can take or play back pictures and control other functions

A World First: 6.0 Megapixel Still and Video Images Captures
Simultaneously

Using SANYO’s proprietary technology and newly developed high-speed
engine, the Xacti C6 can take 6.0-megapixel still pictures while shooting
high-quality moving images. The visual format used is MPEG-4, based on the
ISO standard. High-quality audio, meanwhile, is realized via the AAC format,
a more efficient compression method than MP3. When using a 1 GB SD memory
card, you can record 1 hour of VGA-size video clips at 30 fps.
