Sanyo Introduces Xacti HD1a Digital Media Camera

CHATSWORTH, CA, July 13, 2006 – A video recording mode optimized for the video iPod and other portable video players tops the advanced feature set of the new SANYO Xacti HD1a high-definition compact digital media camera. Following quickly on the strong sales and critical success of the Xacti HD1 introduced in January 2006, the new high-definition HD1a also adds such compelling features as a selectable 16:9 widescreen still picture mode and easy, convenient in-camera video editing.

The SANYO Xacti HD1a retains its title as the world’s smallest and lightest high-definition digital media camera. Featuring ergonomic, one-handed operation, the camera can record both 720p high-definition video and 5.1 megapixel digital still images to a standard SD flash memory card. It will be available in the U.S. in September 2006 at a competitive US.99 MSRP.
