'ISO 1600 and 3200 are lousy, and should be avoided at all costs.'
'Taking its third stab at creating a hard drive-less digital camcorder which relies solely on memory cards for storage, Sanyo presents an interesting offer in the VPC-C5'
'More than just a go-anywhere accessory, the Xacti C5 stands out as a positive fashion statement.'
