VPC-WH1 Is Low Quality and Sanyo Knows It
Sanyo VPC-WH1: Sanyo has low quality and does not stand behind product. Bought for a beach vacation and to record kids
Waterproof Camcorder.
I bought this camcorder because of the waterproof feature. I will be using it in full sunlight in a wet environment. I doubt that I would really take it under water for more than a minute or two. If I did want to say, snorkel with it. I would use silicon grease on the seals to help keep the water out. sanyo put three watertight doors on this thing when they should have and could have gotten by with two. I don't know if it would hold out the water for long. Do you think Sanyo would replace it if it leaked and died ? I doubt it. If you want it to float, you will need to add a float. also the low light quality of the video is horrid. I would not use this camcorder for general video recording. by low light I mean, indoors. the camcorder is very easy to use, I like the menu management. the single image quality is very poor by todays standards. For my use this camcorder is great, and I am glad Sanyo built it. For the price I think it is a good deal. you just need to realise that it is a specialised recorder and not for everyone.
Good Purchase, Awesome Camera
I knew nothing about camcorders when i bought this, only what i learned from 2 days of internet research. I am very very pleased with this purchase. The camera is smaller than I thought it would be...very compact which i love. Very easy to use, turns on and off with the flip of the screen. The underwater capability is great, better than expected. HD is pretty nice on it too. I ordered an mini HDMI attachment and plug it right into the LCD, it cost about $4 i think. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and I would recommend for someone just having fun.
Worst Camera Ever...Horrible Customer Service
I purchased this camera for light recreational use in wet environments. Beach, Pool and Snorkeling. On the very first time in the water it failed to holld a seal. Even though all of the directions were followed to exact specifications the camera leaked. The water got in through the Lens area and caused the camera to fail. When I returned to a dry spot I checked inside the Battery compartment, Chip housing and Charge port all were DRY and properly sealed. Yet water got in. When I sent the Camera for service the repair facility claimed it was due to user misuse since they assert the Seals held in their test. I would NOT reccommend this Camera, save your money. Sanyo customer service extremly unresponsive.
Not What I expected
What a poor excuse for a HD video quality camera. I purchased this for a trip I am taking to Hawaii (for underwater purposes). Anyways I realize you probably would have to pay much more for a real quality underwater camera, but figured I'd try it anyways. Videos from the 1980's on my dads old video camera surpass the quality of this camera. The only videos that even look remotely acceptable are the ones shot outside in bright daylight. I plan on returning this camcorder and getting one with actual quality video recording capabilities. If I really need it to be waterproof, I can always buy one of those clear plastic pouch
Follow every statement with But it goes underwater
Every critisism of this camera you must follow up with the statement "but it goes underwater and shoots HD" For this amount of money your not going to do any better. Most any camcorder your going to need a tripod, and this one is no exception. The features including the talking menu and easy to navigate menus are great. The picture is good.. not great, but then again.. IT GOES UNDERWATER... The image can become shaky eventhough the zoom is quite smooth. The still pictures are worthless, but still IT GOES UNDERWATER... It is a nice color, (I got yellow) and using SD cards is the way of the future. HD 720 Video is awesome. You will need to weigh the pro of being able to shoot underwater with other factors, however, your not going to do any bettr in HD video even if it doesnt go underwater for this price. So you might as well get the one THAT you guessed it GOES UNDERWATER. If your considering any camcorder in this price range, I would recommend this, for having all the right features and underwater HD video is just unreal!! A Great deal, glad I bought it, Everyone loves it and everyone can use it. It has not only an easy mode but the settings most wanna be pro videographers want as well. I SAY put it on auto and go, however I have friends who just insist on using manual settings because it makes them feel more like a pro. Gettng the shot makes me feel like a pro and within a second of turning it on your ready to go. Did I mention the battery lasts an amazing three hours?? It is truly solid and the waterproof feature makes it a solidly built piece of equipment. I recommend this for anyone who wants something that is #1 going to last and #2 is very trendsetting nd unique. Not like the other Sanyo "gun" models, this one can sit on a table. It will also shoot pictures fast. I am glad I bought it and think it is worth beyond the price. Even if your not going underwater, shooting in the rain, water rafting or even snow, you should get this for piece of mind! If your even considering an HD camera or a SD camera or an underwater camera or even just a yellow camera. THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY!
