Review of the Sanyo Xacti C4

Sanyo Xacti C4

The C4 is the latest camera from Sanyo with the ability to capture still images and so-called DVD-quality VGA movies at 30fps. You lift the LCD screen to start-up and you only have to wait about two seconds before you can take a picture. There is no dedicated shutter; instead hit the movie and still image buttons to capture movies and photos. A key improvement on the C1 is the inclusion of a moving image stabiliser – particularly useful when shooting movies in telephoto position
