Sanyo‘s latest Xacti camera both can record HD-quality videos and is waterproof. Although they claim Sanyo Xacti DMX-CA100 is the world’s first waterproof full HD camera, Engadget posted that the title goes to Kodak PlaySport Zx3, which was introduced several weeks ago.
Nevertheless, the latest Xacti model has features that can go toe-to-toe with its competitors: Waterproof chassis that can withstand water up to 10 feet deep, 14-megapixel digital photo camera, records 1080p video to MPEG-4/ H.264 format (enabling users to handle video clips using a single file), Windows 7 compatibility, double range zoom using 12x telephoto lens, digital image stabilizer, face chaser function for videos, and works with Eye-Fi card as well as large-capacity storage cards.
The Sanyo Xacti DMX-CA100 will be launched in June. Price is yet to be revealed.
