The compact and affordable Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 reminds me of an economy car with a built-in iPod dock. It lacks the high performance and polished features found in more expensive models.

Good video and still image quality

Supports Apple-backed iFrame format

Mediocre low-light performance

Poor image stabilizer

Zusammenfassung

The compact and affordable Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 reminds me of an economy car with a built-in iPod dock. It lacks the high performance and polished features found in more expensive models. But it’s well priced, does a good job handling the basics, and integrates an Apple technology supported by few cameras. ...

Fazit

I wish the Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 provided higher data rates, cleaner low-light video, a built-in lens cover, and better image stabilization. But fulfilling those wishes would probably raise the price of the camcorder. The VPC-SH1 is not a great camcorder, but considering its price, that’s OK. Its blend of respectable video and still image quality, compact but not cramped size, functional core features, support for the easy-to-edit iFrame format, and reasonable price make the Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 a good, sensible purchase.

Zusammenfassung

Sanyo promotes its camcorders as 'Dual Cameras' -- making the claim that they're equally as good at taking photos as they are recording video. The SH1's specs would appear to bear this out. As well as video recording up to 1080p, the SH1 can take high-resolution photos up to 3,648x2,736 pixels (with interpolation), which works out at around 10 megapixels.

Fazit

Fairly affordable and offering a decent balance of abilities, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 is a good camcorder that takes notable still photos. Superior video quality is available elsewhere, however, for around the same price.
