Summary: Great Camera!
Comment: I bought this camera before my yearly fishing trip to Alaska and the camera functioned beautifully! I was looking for a camera that I could put in my pocket or backpack with out taking up a lot of room. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 has worked out perfectly. I dropped it in the frigid Alaskan waters a few times and the camera came out working like a charm! Don't let a few of these negative reports scare you into not purchasing this camera. This camera is not a professional camera! Don't expect professional quality! Do expect to have a lot of fun with it!!!! Any digital camera isn't going to produce the best results with out light, DIGITAL NEEDS LIGHT!!!! Its compact, rugged and easy to use. Do remember to make sure the battery compartment door is shut and locked before getting it wet. I have not experienced any of the problems that some of the other users mentioned in their reviews. Hope this review helps in making your decision. This is a great camera for the price. Have fun with it!!!

Summary: This is NOT waterproof!
Comment: This was purchased December of 2007, it was used 3 times, and never submerged. I brought it to the lake and it was splashed a few times. I went to take a picture with it, and the view was all cloudy. I turned it around and there were water bubbles inside the lens! 3 days later the moisture remains, and there is no possible way to contact Sanyo from their website, or some place to send my camera to have it repaired. 380 dollars down the drain.

Summary: Don't forget to purchase the SDHC Memory Card
Comment: I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. But the on-board memory hold only 13sec of video, so make sure you purchase memory... Or like me, you will wait a week for the memory to arrive. (Amazon as the best price on the memory that goes with this camera... the camera has an 8 gig max. I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P9ZBFA

Summary: Great little performer
Comment: I have now taken several hundred photos and a couple dozen videos with this little camera. It has functioned very well with no problems. I have been impressed with battery life and the quality of the images is realy quite good. Sound could be better but is fine and this should not be bought for purposes requiring great quality sound. I have used it in the rain and while kayaking and though I have not submerged it entirely, it has perfromed without a single issue. I used another's smaller version of the Xacti (not H2o proof version) and though they commented on the size diferrence I thought it was hardly noticeable. It fits easily in a shirt or pant pocket and spent much of its time recently in my zippered eyeglass pocket in a light raincoat (ie it is that small). I can highly recommend this camera for travel and all around use.

Summary: Worth it!
Comment: I bought this camera for my 13 year old son to take with him to a snowboarding camp. It is perfect for him! We also wanted this since we lived on the coast and may want to take it in the boat and not have to worry about it getting wet.
It is awesome for my son! Simple to use, he was able to figure it out instantly without looking at the directions. He was happy that it came with editing software (even though we haven't tried that yet). And we love that he will be able to load things on itunes for his ipod. I loved that the camera fits right in the palm of your hand.....a very natural feeling. The picture was clearer than I expected as well.
We are extremely pleased with this product and I definitely recommend it for anyone that has preteens or teenagers and wants to let them use it w/o worrying about damage to fragile equipment.
Awesome product! :)

The new waterproof Sanyo Xacti E1 camcorder captures stunning digital video and beautiful 6 Megapixel photos on land and even underwater. This powerful little camcorder easily records both full 640x480 resolution videos at 30 frames-per-minute and high-resolution 6-megapixel digital still images. Incorporating a watertight design, the Xacti E1 is capable of recording full motion video five feet underwater for up to 30 minutes. Capture dramatic photos and video footage underwater to share with less adventurous family members and friends. Highly advanced AVC/H.264 video compression makes posting movies on the Internet or e-mailing them to friends and family easier by reducing the file size. Get high-quality video recording up to 10 hours of full motion video with an 8 GB SDHC memory card (TV-HQ mode). The large 2.5-inch LCD flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees on an axis that allows you to take great video or still images. Auto Focus - 9 groups, 12 elements, (3 aspheric elements 5 aspheric surfaces) lens built-in neutral density filter Still Pictures Shutter Speed - 1/2 - 1/2000 seconds Movies Shutter Speed - 1/30 - 1/10000 seconds 2.5-inch 110k Amorphous Silicon TFT LCD display Low-light sensitivity - 7 lux (AUTO mode, 1/30 seconds) 2 lux (Lamp mode 1/15) Sensitivity - Auto (ISO 50-400), Manual (ISO 50/100/200/400/800/1600) AV output (Video - Composite video, NTSC/PAL, Audio - Stereo sound) AV output for multi-type headphones (3.5mm-compatible with Stereo mini-plug) USB 2.0 (in high-speed mode - PC camera video class mode) Dimensions (WxDxH) - 2.77 x 1.59 x 4.39 inches ( 70.4 x 40.5 x 111.4 mm) Weight - 217 grams, 236 grams including battery and SD card
