Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40 Movie CameraSanyo announced their new digital movie camera, the Xacti VPC-C40, in a stylish and highly ergonimic design. At just 152 grams, you can hold the camera in one hand without straining your wrist.

The Xacti VPC-C40 has a 1/2.7" 4.0 megapixel camera, enabling you to capture either VGA-size video clips or hi-res 4.0 megapixel digital photos. Video can be recorded at 30 fps in MPEG-4 format, which can then be played back even on a large-screen TV without the loss of clarity. The package comes with a 1GB SD card, sufficient for just about an hour's worth of video in TV-HQ mode.

Another neat feature of the Xacti VPC-C40 is the 5.8x optical zoom (F5.3) lens, apart from 10x digital zoom. It's also equipped with a small 1.8" TFT LCD display for previewing images/video. It also supports USB PictBridge for PC-independent printing of images.
