Doesn't even record
Review Date: March 1, 2010
Reviewer: A. Daniels, Milwaukee, WI
Purchased the Sanyo 1010 over a year ago and have only used it a handful of times. The camera started showing signs of issues a few months after purchase where it wouldn't reliably switch between record and play mode using the toggle switch. It then went further downhill loosing the ability to zoom and record completely. After contacting Sanyo Service it came to my attention how awful customer relations are with this company. There are only two places in the entire USA that have the ability to repair Sanyo products. This makes for some rather high service costs.
Bottom line, if you're one of the lucky few that do not have any problems with this camera, it's small, light and cheap. Although, if you end up with a lemon like i did, you just wasted your money. Additionally, the software bundled with the product is useless.
I'd recommend paying a bit more for a company that stands behind their product.

Very easy to use, excellent video quality. Nice picture quality at 8MP.
I also bought a UV filter to protect the lenses so I don't have to use the lens cap.
Amazing little camera

Reviewer: MAC,
Just seeing the stats of the Sanyo XACTI HD 1010 will bring you to a hasty conclusion that there must be some sort of catch with this little camera, but surprisingly there is not. It is every bit the miracle it boasts and is a device that if sent back to 1980 would actually be seen as sci-fi. Small, comfortable and unbelievably capable, all pale in comparison to the Xacti's greatest trick: you might actually use it.
Best camera I've owned
Review Date: January 21, 2010
Reviewer: Raketemensch, California, USA
I've been pleased with this camera (Xacti HD1010) In bright light, picture quality is terrific -- much better than any of the several Canon DV cameras I've owned. In dim light it's not as good, but still at least the equal of the older DV cameras. Controls are nicely laid out, so that the camera can be operated with one hand with a minimum of shakiness. There's a surprisingly long lag (.5 sec?) between starting a video and seeing the display, but you get used to it. The most important missing feature for me is the inability to input composite video; unlike my old DV camera, the Xacti can't be used to convert analog video to digital format. Oh, well; I knew this going in. I've made little use of the still-photo feature so far, but results seem unimpressive. Again, oh well. By leaving out features I don't absolutely require, this camera does its main job quite well at a reasonable price.
GREAT camera for the price

I bought this camera and LOVE it. I recently made the switch to Mac b/c I love to do video editing. My current camera (a Panasonic mini-dv) started messing up so I began looking for a new, "Mac-friendly" video camera. I read reviews, looked at cameras in stores, etc. and finally decided on this wonderful little marvel. It is incredibly easy to use. It takes GREAT quality video and pictures. I connected the camera dock and camera to my HDTV and the video quality on there was incredible. I didn't have an HDMI cable, so I hooked it up with the provided composite cables and the video was incredibly clear and crisp. It has an external mic jack (also comes with an adapter cable), a cold shoe for lights or external mics and writes to SD cards. All you have to do is pop out the card and insert it into your Mac and voila! No need to encode video. It records in M4v format already so all you have to do is import it and it's ready to go in iMovie. The battery life is good as well. I received the camera a week and a half ago and I've only had to re-charge the battery once. I've played with it on and off since then so I feel the battery is very decent. I do plan to buy a spare eventually to keep on hand. I also bought a monopod that works great with it, too. With any camera it's difficult to always keep a steady hand, especially when you are zooming in on something.
Overall, this is an INCREDIBLE camera for the money. I must say, though, it used to be considerably cheaper here on Amazon ($329) and now the price has basically doubled. Not quite sure why. HIGHLY recommended.
