Sanyo VPC-WH1 Waterproof HD Camcorder Review

The VPC-WH1 Camcorder can be submerged in the water up to a depth of 10 feet; this is what makes Sanyo’s VPC-WH1 HD camcorder special.

Sanyo VPC-HD2000 Full HD Camcorder Review

Sanyo’s VPC-HD2000, a vertical, pistol grip camcorder, is the first consumer camcorder to capture full high-definition videos at 60 frames per second.

The VPC-HD2000 is a good camcorder designed with both beginners and experts in mind.
