Handy January 7, 2009
There have been lots of moments that I wish I could have caught on camera...on a video camera. I already had a Kodak digital camera before I bought the Sanyo Xacti but it doesn't take very good video. I love that you can take still photos anytime during filming with the Xacti. I don't plan on going underwater with this but if I get caught out in the rain with this, I'm happy that it won't be a disater. There isn't a lot of internal memory in the camera so I recommend buying a memory card or two. As for the battery, it works for me. It doesn't last anywhere near as long as regular AA batteries but the camera comes with a handy little wall charger so you can plug-in on the go.

On final thing - when I took my new Xacti out of the box, I noticed that one side is blue (as shown in the product's picture) but the other side is pearl white. None of the pictures I've seen online of this product show the other side to be a different color - nor do they seem to show the other side. I figured the whole camera would be blue. This obviously doesn't affect the product's preformance, but it would've been nice for this to have been mentioned in the product's description.

Sanyo VPC-E2 - Not Great January 6, 2009
The camcorder takes poor video. I did not test the waterproof function.
Upon installing the software and taking a video, the software did not allow me to view the video on my computer - only to burn to a dvd. The quality was very grainy and unclear. Perfect size camcorder though - would be wonderful if the quality was improved.

A perfect sports Digital Camcorder January 6, 2009
I've been looking for an inexpensive compact digital camcorder for a long time, for my snow and water sports, until I found Xacti E2.
The compact size make it easy to fit in the jacket pockets whiling riding. The authentic Water-proof and shaking control are critical for shooting while moving on the snow or under water. Video and sound quality is not a big concern for me, but I know it's at least as good as other regular camcorders at this price range. To my surprise, the night video quality is also very good, clear and no much noise point. Battery life is also good at low temperature (my cell phone battery usually stops working very soon after I get onto slope)
So far, I'm very satisfied with it. There are only a few minor UI issues I don't like. e.g. the buttons of camera and video taping are small and so close, that I cannot operate while wearing snow gloves. Also, no button to switch flash, so I have to change setting by menu each time.
So overall, I would strong recommend it for sport purpose.

Hot Camcorder/Digital Camera January 6, 2009
This camera is very hot. I bought it for my 16 year old daughter who constantly steals my camera and she absolutely loves it. The handle and the ease to which you can shoot pictures or movies is simple and fast. The picture quality is awesome and it is very light weight. It is the perfect vacation camera.

Neat Camcorder January 6, 2009

Very light! Very small! Good video quality for a $199 consumer level camcorder. Not the greatest in low light situations, but on a bright sunny day or in good lighting conditions, the video quality is great. Menus and settings are easy to figure out. Battery life is quite short, about an hour. Extra battery is less than $20 though. I don't plan to take it under water (4.5 feet max for 1 hour max) and go through the procedure the manual advises after taking it under water, but the waterproof feature makes me feel better about using it outdoors if it rains or if water splashes on it. Looking forward to taking it out on a jet ski or inner tube when the weather warms up. If you need a low end, consumer level camcorder, you'd probably like this one. I'm glad I got it. Did I say it works great with a Mac? Just plug it in, pick two options from the menu, and you have videos in your iPhoto library.
