Thanks to its clever waterproof and dustproof concept, you can use Sanyo’s Xacti VPC-WH1 at up to 3 metres underwater (it is certificated IEC 60529, IPX8), and you won’t have problems on sunny beaches. This camera is terrific news for families who spen...

Off on a holiday that’s likely to involve spending inordinate amounts of time splashing about in the surf or doing hardcore gubbins like water-skiing? Then you’re going to need a waterproof camcorder to prove to your pals you’ve got those extreme s...

Waterproof to a depth of three metres (10ft), the WH1 is both an HD camcorder and a digital still camera. Its 1280x720 movies and 2MP stills are recorded to SD or SDHC card, and USB and HDMI outputs allow it to be connected to a computer or a high-defi...
The WH1 makes good on its waterproof promise: surviving a complete dunking and a trip out in a heavy downpour. After use in water it needs washing with fresh water, and to dry completely. The 30x optical zoom is effective without compromising picture qual...
Just who needs a 1500x digital zoom is a mystery to us, so there seems no practical purpose for this feature. Also, while the zoom itself is great, controlling it can be difficult, as the lever used is far from smooth. The 2MP stills resolution is disappo...
The Sanyo WH1 delivers good quality video in a rugged and affordable (sub-£300) package but it could be even more attractive with a better photo resolution.Sanyo Xacti WH1 is tagged with Sanyo Xacti, camcorder and waterproof. Select a tag (Sanyo Xact...

Product Code: VPCWH1 There are only two reasons to buy the Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1, but they're good reasons: it's inexpensive, and it's waterproof. For some people, those two factors will offset the HD video camera's mediocre image quality. Compared wi...
While waterproof housings are available for other small camcorders, they typically cost at least as much as the Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1 does. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1 is a good choice for use in and around water, including under rain and snow, and for situ...

A rugged, durable video and stills camera that would cope with active shooting very well. It didnt disappoint when tested underwater and operated perfectly afterwards without any leaks. With this in mind, it would be an excellent choice for documenti...

I really enjoyed reviewing the Sanyo Xacti HD2000 so of course I was excited when Matt sent me the Xacti WH1. Its a quite affordable camera and its main feature or selling point is that it is waterproof (up to 3m) with an IPX8 (full water submersion)...
Although I was somewhat disappointed with the still shot quality I think that Sanyo have made a durable and reliable video camera that you would feel confident taking up the ski slopes, going snorkelling, or even just being able to take great holiday f...

Until recently, unless you were a pro videomaker with the budget for a fully-fledged sealed housing, if you wanted to shoot underwater only one manufacturers name would spring to mind: Panasonic. The and brought industrial-strength waterproofi...

Most high-tech products aren't the most forgiving when it comes to venturing beyond the clean confines of city living. Expose the average gadget to a bit of rain or sand and you're lucky if it still works after you've dried it out and cleaned out the b...
Cheap for a fully waterproof camcorder, but poor image quality lets the side down badly...

Verdict: A waterproof camcorder thats great for fooling about with on holiday, but most beach fans will be better off with a video-capable waterproof camera. While summers here, youre hopefully going to be off to sunny climes to lounge around the...

Note: pricing for this product is in US$.Compared with footage from the best 1080p HD camcorders, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1's 720p HD video (at 30 frames per second) exhibits noticeably - but not disastrously - reduced resolution, sharpness, colour accuracy, and motion. The VPC-WH1's overall video image quality is middling.Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1's 1.1-megapixel still images, which suffer from low resolution, inaccurate exposure, and noticeable image di...

With the rains finally going strong in (most parts) of the country, a lot of people decide to keep their camcorders in the closets, in the fear that exposure to rain or moisture may damage their sensitive parts. This is a pity, as this can actually be...

FeaturesOf course, the most outstanding feature about the WH1 is that its waterproof upto 10 feet or 3 meters of water, which is enough for most people going for it. Of course, we wouldnt just blindly believe the claim, so we did take it into a swimm...
