S anyo introduces the VPC-PD1 mini camcorder with Full HD videos and 10 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom. Minimal dimensions with maximum performance - that’s what the new pocket camcorder from SANYO has to offer.

For example, the Sanyo Xacti PD1 camcorder can shoot videos in Full HD with 1.080 30p, and the 3x optical zoom allows you to zoom in clearly on distant objects. The new Sanyo Xacti camcorder will be presented for the first time at the photokina 2010.
