Sanyo’s VPC-CS1 is the world’s smallest and thinnest Full HD camcorder, measuring just 26.8mm wide. It’s capable of shooting 1920x1080 movies as well as snapping 8MP still images, and it can shoot these videos and photos simultaneously. Despite the sma...
Full HD at this size and weight is a feat in its own right but the CS1 also scores well thanks to its optical zoom, which is longer than that on rival cams from Kodak, Flip and JVC.The camera’s Eye-Fi compatibility is also a selling point, especially if you’re looking to upload content to the web while on the move. Eye-Fi cards (an SD card with Wireless LAN) allow you to upload to a computer or w...
The camera’s super-slim design often makes it difficult to hold steady, and some may feel it’s actually too thin to feel comfortable shooting with. Low-light shooting results aren’t impressive and even on normal daylight footage colours can appear washed-out. Eye-Fi compatibility is a good bonus feature, but it relies on investing in a suitable Eye-Fi card, which will add to your overall cost.
The Sanyo VPC-CS1 swells the ranks of pocket-sized camcorder and provides consumers with a more rounded selection. It has a high feature count, impressive zoom and solid focusing ability. Though, unfortunately, the video performance is often let down b...

The Sanyo XACTI VPC-CS1 caught our attention when we first laid our eyes on its extremely slim profile and striking lipstick pink body. In fact, it feels more like a trendy flip phone than a camcorder. Despite its diminutive size, it is capable of recordi...

With its Full HD recording capability, optical zoom lens, and ultra-thin design, the Sanyo VPC-CS1 ($299 MSRP) definitely looks good on paper. Unfortunately, these impressive specs fail to displace the fact that the camcorder has a number of remarkable...
The thin, compact design of the Sanyo VPC-CS1 definitely gives the camcorder a unique look, and its impressive specs make it all the more intriguing. Once you take a good look beyond its hot pink paint job, however, you'll find the CS1 to be a very di...
