So skip the rest of the review and Buy Sanyo Xacti VPC CA9.

Oh ok, let’s look at it in a bit more detail. An essential item on holiday, is the camcorder, whether it’s to embarrass our friends at some later stage or to have long lasting memories of family holidays with the kids.

One thing is for certain though and that is that there is a risk of it getting wet. So to protect the camcorder, wrap it in a plastic bag .. or alternatively, buy the Sanyo Xacti VPC CA9.

The Xacti VPC CA9 is officially waterproof but only to a depth of 1.5m. Whilst this doesn’t sound great, are you really looking for a deep sea camcorder or are you looking for one that you’re not bothered if it gets wet?

The Xacti CA9 comes with noise reducing technology which helps to filter out unwanted background noise, like screaming children at the pool.

One other useful feature is the face detection technology, or face chasing as Sanyo like to call it. This detects, chases, upto 12 faces so that each is in focus when you capture the shot.
