Sanyo announces latest Xacti dual cameras - GH1, G100 and VG20

We love the Sanyo Xacti camera/camcorder range. In fact, I personally own one, seduced by the ease of use and the retro super-8 looks. So it's good to see the range getting an update for 2010 with the GH1, G100 and VG20. Although the GH1 does go for a more traditional camcorder profile.

All capture movie footage in 1080i HD, also capturing stills with a resolution of up to 14 megapixels. In addition, the GH1 and G100 also feature the 12x double range zoom, as well as a wide angle and a tele-oriented field of view at the touch of a button. Other features include a rotating 2.7-inch LCD display, that same ease of use, the option to take photos and record videos simultaneously, image stabilisation and face detection and recording to SD, SDHC or SDXC card.

Expect to pay around £229 for the Xacti GH1, £229 for the Xacti G100 and £179 for the Xacti VG20, all of which are on the shelves from March.

Those cameras are very swank. They actually remind me of those handheld crank cameras of the past. That or photon phasers from star trek.
