Sanyo Xacti FH1 unboxing video
It has been a while since we last reviewed a camcorder and as I am such a fan of the Sanyo Xacti range, I record all of my unboxing videos on the Xacti HD1010, I thought I would get in touch with Sanyo to see if they’d let us review any of their other models.
So Sanyo sent me the Xacti VPC-FH1 to review.
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1
The FH1 is at the top end of the Xacti range offering the best recording modes, 1080p/1080i/720p, as well as having a 16x optical zoom and 8 megapixel sensor. I’m expecting good things from the FH1!
I’ll be using the FH1 over the next few weeks and will test it out on a couple of unboxing videos, I’ll let you know which ones. We’ll have the review for you soon but for now have a look at the unboxing video below which shows what you get with the FH1 (there’s quite a lot in the box) as well as a quick tour around the camera.
