The Xacti series aims to provide customers with more enjoyable video experiences, by offering cameras that allow users to easily capture both photos and videos in daily life, rather than devices that are merely used to record important events. By utilizing a convenient video format that can be easily handled on PC and Internet environments, and even on home TVs, Xacti cameras are more than just hardware for capturing, viewing, and saving images. They are convenient products for sharing videos online, on blogs or on other multi-media sites.
Now, SANYO has introduced a new Xacti model with a much greater degree of portability in a compact, lightweight and slim design, in order to expand the use of Full HD cameras. It is a new style of video camera that can record events as well as capture unforgettable scenes or single frames from daily life in Full HD, just as easily as taking a snapshot.
Product development for the Xacti series has been carried out with an emphasis on a compact design that can be taken anywhere and anytime, using the concept of a handy device for recording the moments of daily life. In order to make the new Xacti even more compact than previous models, SANYO has developed a slim sensor module and a new super slim lens. With its compact size, lightweight design - 142 g - and slim body, the DMX-CS1 is a new style of video camera that will radically expand the situations where it can be used. The new original vertical ergonomic style enables slim body with usability.
Not only it features a super slim and compact body, but also the DMX-CS1 can capture Full HD videos with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The video format used for this model is MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, which is easy to use on PC and Internet environments, as it is a single file format, similar to the one used for still photos.
Video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still picture files, and they can be played back directly with Windows Media Player, and editable with Windows Live Movie Maker 6 which makes the files even more convenient for use on computers. ■
