Sanyo Xacti CS1 unboxing video
Here at tracyandmatt we’ve reviewed quite a number of the HD camcorders in Sanyo’s XACTI range. In fact we quite like the Xacti camcorders as they record decent quality HD footage in MP4 format on SD memory cards which makes it easy to transfer to the PC or Mac for editing. Most of the unboxing videos that you see on our YouTube channel (over 350 videos now! 🙂 ) were recorded with my Sanyo Xacti HD1010.
In the video below you’ll see me unboxing one of Sanyo’s latest HD camcorders from the Xacti range, the VPC-CS1. The CS1 is billed as the worlds slimmest HD video camera and when you see the video below you’ll probably see why!
Naturally there will be a review here online soon but for now enjoy the video.
