日本SANYO將於2009年Q1三月底之前連續發表六款最新型數位攝錄相機，皆以『Dual Camera』為主軸，2010在追加一新款新機 Dual Camera，外型更輕巧更薄小，強調一台抵二台用，人性化的操作使用介面，單指即可觸按切換相機或錄影的功能；甚至可同步使用雙功能，不必中止錄影作業再切換拍照功能，以利使用者能在最快的時間快速補捉到難得一瞬間的永恆記憶 !!
Sanyo 的 Xacti 系列口袋型攝影機一向都有不錯的評價，這次在 CES 上面推出的 VPC-SH1，不僅是有著 1080p Full HD 的攝錄能力攝錄的格式方面，目前有 MPEG-4 AVC、H.264，未來通過認證後，也納入 iFrame 格式；靜態攝影則是有八百萬畫素，30x 光學變焦，檔案儲存將會支援超高容量的 SDXC 記憶卡， SD、SDHC 卡應該也可以吧？
SANYO’s original Advanced Zoom technology used for
video zoom function
With the new zoom function, the video filming area on the image sensor is enlarged from approximately 2-Megapixels (Full HD image area) to approximately 3.5-Megapixels. Using pixels effectively, wider scenes from industry leading 35mm (35mm film equiv.) (Wide) to 1,050mm (Tele) with 30x zoom can be enjoyed.
By widening the wide-angle side and achieving higher magnification telephoto ability, it is possible to capture wide range of objects from close to far.

Product development for the Xacti series has been
carried out with an emphasis on a compact design that
can be taken anywhere and anytime by using the concept
of a handy device for recording the moments of daily
life.
The VPC-SH1 is a top rated small-class Full HD dual camera approximately 190cc in volume, 204g in weight, and 43mm in thickness. Its excellent portability dramatically expands the situations in which a video camera can be used.

To take usability a step further, the VPC-SH1 is
equipped with SANYO’s original Double Sub REC Button.
In addition to the ordinary recording buttons, a
recording button for both photo and video are separately
provided on the upper front part of the body to easily
capture low-angle images in a comfortable posture. Being
able to easily shoot a camera from a child’s or pet’s
eye level makes it possible to capture the world from a
different point of view.
Not only it features a compact body, but also the
VPC-SH1 can capture Full HD videos with a resolution of
1920 x 1080 pixels.
The original vertical ergonomic style enables slim body with usability.*4
The video format used for this model is "MPEG-4 AVC / H.264," which is easy to use on PC and Internet environments, as it is a single file format, similar to the one used for still photos. "MPEG-4 AVC / H.264" is fully supported by the latest Windows® OS, "Windows 7"*5, which was launched last year.
Consequently, video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still picture files, and they can also be played back directly with Windows Media Player, and editable with Windows Live Movie Maker*6, and are Device Stage compatible. This makes the files even more convenient for use on computers.
