It will literally fit in any pocket you may have, believed me I had the chance to test this by myself a couple of weeks ago, Yep the VPC-CS1 is Sanyo best ever Xacti.

Our Dual Camera is capable to shoot high-quality photo as well as stunning 1080p video in MPEG-4, AVC / H.264, and like previous models it will also let you take pictures while shooting video without any freeze, but that’s not all, Sanyo also greatly improved the way you will record Audio too and adopt the Sound Zoom Technology, basically more you will zoom more the audio recording will focus on the person you are zooming it, letting the charter away and making sure that you are not only taking the best video but the best audio too ! Finally our Camera is Sanyo’s first Xacti to support SDXC cards…

Other features includes what previous models were offering and for your information Sanyo also made sure that your Xacti Battery will fit also in other Xacti products, yep there will be more to come over from Sanyo and its Xacti line-up so stay tune !

Oh and before I forget, this Camera will be available in the USA within February 2010 and sold at around 299 USD.

Las Vegas, NV, January 6, 2010 – SANYO North America Corporation (SANYO) is pleased to announce the release of a new Full HD, Slim Type Dual Camera Xacti, VPC-CS1, available in February, 2010.
The Dual Camera series aims to provide customers with more enjoyable video experiences, by offering cameras that allow users to easily capture both photos and videos in daily life, rather than devices that are merely used to record important events. By utilizing a convenient video format that can be easily handled on PC and Internet environments, and even on home TVs, these cameras are more than just hardware for capturing, viewing, and saving images. They are convenient products for sharing videos online, on blogs or on other multi-media sites, and they are able to easily import images to portable media devices. The VPC-CS1 is undergoing certification to be compatible with iFrame, a next generation video format that has been designed to allow users to easily import, edit and share high quality video. SANYO is offering new ways to enjoy images after they are captured, and the Dual Cameras have been well received by consumers all over the world.

Now, SANYO has introduced a new model with a much greater degree of portability in a compact, lightweight and slim design, in order to expand the use of Full HD cameras. It is a new style of video camera that can record events and occasions as well as capture unforgettable scenes or single frames from daily life in Full HD, just as easily as taking a snapshot.
