Sanyo Introduces Xacti VPC-PD2BK to Fight Flip, Who Will Win?

Sanyo Xacti range has been around for a long time. However, it is until now that they come up with a  “flip-like” video camera that has the specs to pale all competitors. Introducing Xacti VPC-PD2BK.

I love the look. It has flash and 3X optical zoom. These specs are enough to put off many competitors. It can take picture up to 10 Mpx and compatible to the latest SDXC  card. Here is a picture of the back of this Xacti.

And the press release from US. Not sure if Singapore will get it and if Singapore did, when it will be available.
