Sanyo’s newest Xactis hands on

Earlier today, Sanyo announced a bunch of new Xactis. Their new strategy is that the Xacti is now a “Dual Camera.” Each of the new cameras are both HD video cameras and still cameras. The idea is simple — there’s no need to carry both a still camera and a camcorder any more. We got a chance to play around with the newest Xactis.

These cameras were very small and light. Sanyo’s first horizontal Xacti, the FH1, was a little larger than a business card in its width and length. The other Xactis retained the distinct upright form factor but received upgrades. Take a look at the photos to see what these devices are like in person. They will be available in March 2009.
