Sanyo’s slow-mo superstar

If snapping some footage of your mates taking a tumble and banging it up on YouTube is starting to lose its appeal, then you need Sanyo’s new shooter.

This compact camcorder won’t just record mishaps for posterity – it can film them in 300 frames per second slow motion too for added humiliation!

The Sanyo Xacti HD1010 pistol grip camcorder is equally at home capturing high def high jinks or web-res slow motion so it’s the perfect portable companion.

Footage is shot to SD card, so you don’t need to worry about moving parts getting mangled and there’s a 10x optical zoom so you can get close up on the action without risking getting walloped.

Top talents
Slow-mo replay – Click it into high gear and it’ll start chewing up 300 images every single second, for wildlife documentary-like slow motion when you play it back at normal speed.

SD shooter – Who wants to record to bulky old tape when SD memory cards are small, light and offers oodles of capacity for next to nowt these days?

Quick on the draw – This camcorder is primed and ready for action so it can go from off to shooting in under two seconds so you won’t miss any of the action.

Coming out: July

Going up against
Sony HDR-TG3 – Want to shoot full HD but without the bulk? This little fella is currently the world’s smallest high def cam so you can shoot big pictures despite its small size.

Panasonic SDR-SW20 – If you want to make a splash with your filmmaking this little Panny can take a soaking and keep on shooting, even in 1.5m of salty seawater.

JVC GZ-MG330 - With a price tag under the magic £250 mark this JVC is perfect to carry about your person just in case a You’ve Been Frame moment presents itself, earning you your money back.
