Sanyo VPC-GH2 High Definition Camcorder and 14 MP Camera w/12x Optical Zoom
This is a great little camera. The ability to shoot 16:9 wide screen high resolution images in addition to true HD video is a great plus.
The jpeg compression is a little excessive, compared to my Nikon camera, but the pictures still come out great.
Just remember that there is a bit of shutter lag, especially when using flash.
I did discover that I had to upgrade my computer before it would play the high resolution videos that I shot.
The battery life is right in line with spec at about 90 minutes of continuous recording.
The Sanyo power supply for the camera is unfortunately rather expensive, at about $50.-
In conclusion, there is a mix of good and bad. However, for the money I think this is a very good camera.
