Freakin Awesome
Where has this been all my life??? I think of all the cool trips Ive been on and I wouldve killed to have one of these at that time. I didnt even know such a thing existed until I found this. Who knew that these were being made for average everyday consumers and at an affordable price? Got water? No problema This camcorder can handle the water and anything else you can throw at it. In an effort to give the most precise review possible I did don my wetsuit and dove into my 60 degree pool. Brrrr. I even dropped this camcorder to the bottom of the pool a couple of times and when I played back the recording no skips or anything and no problems with the camera. This gadget is wicked cool The battery did poop out on me a little quick but that could be from the cold water. I recommend getting an additional battery but I do that will all my gizmos. Nothing more frustrating than having the battery loss at a critical moment in filming. Did I mention that this takes still shots too? Pretty good ones at that. This is the camcorder/camera that I have dreamed about. I found this device incredibly easy to use but it will take me a while to become accustomed to all of the features. My teenagers are dying to use it in the pool next summer. I will update this review as I use the camcorder more. I plan on purchasing some accessories extra battery new camcorder case for it and Ill update with what I got and how it worked out.
Fun camera. Performs well.
I love toys so I was very happy when my new VPC-E2 arrived yesterday. The first thing I noticed when holding the E2 is how well it fits in your hand. Its lightweight and the simple controls are very well laid out. After skimming through manual and charging the battery I loaded it up with an 8GB SD card. I then went out to see what it can do. First off was taking still photos in various lighting conditions. Then I took several different videos. The VPC-E2 is very simple to use and I didnt need to refer back to the manual for anything. After putting it through various tests I discovered what is my first minor disappointment. Batterty life isnt great. If you plan on using it for a good part of the day a second battery is going to be a must. All the pictures and videos looked good on the E2s screen but the real test was when I got home and downloaded them to my computer. The still photos were very good. I was especially surprised how well the photos taken in low light at ISO 800 and 1600 came out. They were perfectly usable despite the noise level. While its not ideal shooting at those levels the results were better than expected. The results under normal lighting conditions were good too for a hybrid camera. While the results werent quite up to what a top stand alone digital point and shoot might take the pictures were perfectly fine for viewing on a screen or printing at 4x6 or 8x10. I shot the test videos at 640x480 30fps high bit rate using all "Auto" settings. Again the results were very good. The videos were clear. The sound was good. The camera focused well under all conditions. All in all Sanyo has a winner here. You could call the VPC-E2 a "jack of all trades master of none" but that would be a little harsh. What it does it does well. Its not really great at anything but its very good at most. I look forward to my next vacation when I test it underwater on a snorkling trip. First thing I will do is order an extra battery and buy a real case for it. The included wrap around velcro case is a joke. Here is a brief list of the pros and cons. Pros: Well designed versatile and easy to use. Waterproof. Good pictures and video for a hybrid. Usable pictures at high ISO. Cons: Battery life is disappointing. No 16:9 video options. Price isnt cheap. Cheesy velcro "case" that is included is terrible. Non-standard USB cable.
Pretty good overall
Before I start let me mention that I am a professional photographer and I teach photography for our local college. When I look at a new camera that background plays a role. You may be looking for something completely different in a camera than I am. My first impression of the Sanyo Xacti VCP E2 was all about its size. It slips right into my shirt pocket. Once I got over the size and got the battery charged up I was ready to go. Oh and install a memory card. The E2 takes the popular SD cards and it does not come with one. Thats probably not a bad thing. Most people who have had a camera or two have a few of these cards lying around. If you dont get one with the camera. I installed an 8gig card. I was first trying to hold the camera in one hand. That didnt work very well for me. Your hands may vary. The best hold for me turned out to be with the camera in my right hand and my left thumb and index finger on the top and bottom of the LCD which steadies things nicely. The controls located on the top rear of the camera are designed to be thumb operated. The two buttons at the very top take still photos and movies respectively. They are easy to operate and the still photo button does the usual "press halfway to lock everything in" function. Below these is the usual four way rocker with the button in the middle. When you are making pictures this area is used mainly to zoom. There is also a menu button on the back and many functions like turning the flash on and off can only be accessed through the menus. If you have used digital camera menus before these will be easy to follow. So how well does it work? Pretty well actually. The macro ability of the lens is outstanding in a camera of this type. It focuses at 1 cm. Thats less than a half inch if you are metric challenged. In addition it has a full range focus mode that will go from 1 cm to infinity without putting it into a special macro mode. I like to get in close so thats important to me. The camera has all the usual settings for ISO light balance etc. and will go as high as 3200 ISO. If you get higher than 400 buy a good noise filter plug-in for Photoshop. Once I apply that even photos shot at 1600 look pretty good. The 8 megapixel stills are 3264 by 2448 and print nice 8x10s. You can grab stills while shooting a movie. If you do that the stills will be 1600x1200. With 2 megapixels you could still print an 8x10 but a 5x7 will be better. The 5X zoom works fine. There is also a 12 megapixel setting but the sensor is 8 MP so I assume it is simulated. I didnt use it. Videos are either 640x480 which is plenty for display on a TV or 320x240 which is perfect for UTube or similar services. You can record at either 30 or 60 frames a second and I didnt see much difference. At the lower resolution you can also record at 15 FPS which makes a small file thats easy to email or upload. The waterproof feature is interesting. It is supposed to be safe to 5 feet and it seems to be. I tried it by holding it under water in my backyard pond and bothering my goldfish. Waters a little chilly this time of year Anyway it worked fine. For many people the main advantage of this would be that you dont have to worry if you are getting rained on and you can use it by the pool with no issues. This camera wont replace your DSLR but it might replace both your point and shoot still camera and your camcorder. Pros: Size easy to use great macro ability and very acceptable photo and video quality with the waterproof feature a plus. Cons: Not many - Uses a non standard USB cable included and battery life is around 100 or so stills if you are using the flash - more if the flash is off. Figure an hour of video.
