Sanyo is to be commended for another bold attempt to unify the differing needs of camcorder and digital camera users. However, it still doesn't quite pull it off. The VPC-HD1000 is an impressive device and you're sure to evoke admiring glances when you whip it out in public. But the video quality is below that of HD camcorders from the big brands, and a sub-£200 pocket camera from the likes of Canon or Panasonic will beat its still images. So, yet again, the Xacti is a reasonable jack of two trades, but not quite master enough of either.
