Hi Ry: Your review was fantastic! I was so impressed I blogged about it because I know many people would love a rugged waterproof video and still camera. I have a question though about the resolution: According to the info on this page, it produces “6-megapixel digital still images,” but

Dave, I'm not certain what the difference is, either. I do know that I was confused as hell buying my c6 because I was shopping on ebay (I'm cheap, and I'm trusting) and there were different model numbers assigned for what seemed to be the exact same camera but made for different markets (For home

Hey David, ignore that last message. I think the solution is this: The CG6 is a smaller version of the C6 model I have but with a bigger screen AAC audio and can hold a bigger SD card. The reduction in slim height is traded for and increase in chubbiness, which would probably make it easier to

Hey David, I use the Xacti C40 for my vlog now. I use to use both a Camcorder and the Xacti, but now just the Xacti. I wish my model had a mic port. I wish the built in mic wasn't on the back of the viewing screen. I'm very happy with the quality I get out of such a small package. I did add a

I've not used a Xacti HD unit, but I love my C40. http://www.blip.tv/users/view/kd1s/ note that I did compress those vids so you're not getting true quality. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, beth_tilston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David, I have a Xacti HD2. I haven't posted anything

awesome bottome comparison, thanks! That one wins the I'm reading this on my not-an-iphone-phone contest. I did try to load up the site you recommended on the phone and it does look far and away better than the site i'd been using. Thanks! On 7/9/07, missbhavens1969 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

David, I have a Xacti HD2. I haven't posted anything with it yet so I can't show you anything. I think it's a great camera but the things that people complain about in general about Xactis are true of the HD2 too. The sound quality is pretty poor, however with the HD2 there is an external mic

Great stuff everyone, thanks! The new CG65 sounds interesting. I'm not sure I need the HD ... I'll be compressing down for the web anyway ... HD may be overkill? Plus the smaller size of the CG65 is tempting. I can't tell from the Sanyo site if it has the external mic jack though ... that

so glad to hear someone mention the sound issues on the Xacti HD. I have had a TERRIBLE time with sound. Especially with external mics (which was my main motivation for buying it.). The size rocks. But the sound bugs me and the auto WB is worse than my cheap canon digi-cam. But the truth is,

Hey Dave, I have the Xacti HD2 - both love it and hate it. Not the perfect camera, but it has it's pluses. Super smallness being one of them. No audio levels being a major downer. Here's a recent vid I took that I'm particularly proud of: http://www.vimeo.com/232062 Otherwise, check out my

Hey David, I use an Xacti C6 and every video I have past May '06 was shot with it in 640x480. I bought it in the interest of stealth. Even though I loved my mini DV camera, It was impossible to just whip out at a moment's notice. It has been collecting dust ever since. I have guilt about that. I
