Product Description
Imagine carrying your camcorder in your pocket? Sanyo VPC-C5 makes it possible. It manages to do so without compromising image quality one bit. It even enhances it. There are two fundamental reasons: 1) All images (still and video) are captured on a tiny SD SecureDigital Memory-Card. No tapes are used or required. 2) It has a 5.2 megapixel CCD to deliver excellent image resolution. The VPC-C5 captures full-frame MPEG-4 compressed digital video. Unlike most digital cameras that take short, small, silent video clips, the VPC-C5 captures movies at a smooth 30 frames-per-second -- the same frame rate standard as broadcast television. Enjoy recording high-quality stereo audio with built-in wind roar reduction for indoor and outdoor use. Easy to use, hold, and carry, the Sanyo VPC-C5 really is among the best camcorders to take with you virtually anywhere. Capture still and video images simultaneously Built-in image stabilization Aound Mode with Wind roar reduction Built-in 3-mode electronic-flash High quality stereo recording (AAC-LC) 5X optical zoom lens / 12X digital zoom Seven scene select modes (auto, sports, portrait, landscape, night view, fireworks, lamp) 15 adjustable manual focus settings Super macro shooting (down to a distance of 1cm) Self timer (2 seconds/10 seconds) 2.0 trans-reflective LCD screen for easier viewing in direct sunlight Rechargeable lithium ion battery Talking navigation guide Webcam function PictBridge compatible for printing images directly to a PictBridge compatible printer - without a computer USB 2.0 & S-Video output - Data transfer capable to PC or Macintosh computer or to a TV device 128MB SD SecureDigital card included - We suggest buying an optional 256MB or 512MB SD Card for more practical use Unit Dimensions - 2.7 x 4.3 x 0.9

Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Make movies anywhere with this tiny, tapeless digital camera. In fact, this multifunction video camera/digital still camera is so small and lightweight, others might mistake it for a cell phone. But don't be fooled by its diminutive design; the VPC-C5 sports a five-megapixel image sensor and can capture more than 15 minutes of DVD-quality MPEG-4 video on the included 128MB memory card.

The VPC-C5 fits easily in the palm of your hand
The VPC-C5 is designed to fit into and be operated by one hand.
Digital Still Camera
The VPC-C5's 1/2.5 inch, 5.26-megapixel CCD sensor can capture images with enough photo-quality detail to create prints as large as 13-by-17-inches. What's more, the camera features real-time pixel interpolation that can simulate the level of detail rendered by 10-megapixel cameras--images that look sharp when printed at 18-by-24 inches.

The camera features a built-in 5x optical zoom lens. Since even the smallest movements and vibrations are magnified in telephoto photography, the camera's built-in image stabilization will help you get sharp, clear photos even when your subject is far away. The camera's optical zoom is complemented with a 12x digital zoom.

Seven scene-select modes will help you optimize your camera for common shooting conditions: auto, sports, portrait, landscape, night view, fireworks, and lamp. The camera even has a Super Macro mode, which will allow you to focus and frame on tiny subjects, such as a flower or sea shell, that are only one centimeter away from the front of the camera lens. The camera also boasts a 3-mode flash (Auto/Forced/Off with slow synchro possible in Night View mode) and a selectable two-second/10-second self-timer.

Graph showing the advantages of MPEG-4 video
MPEG-4 video compression allows the VPC-C5 to capture and store more video than other video formats.
Digital Video Camera
The VPC-C5 captures full-frame MPEG-4 compressed digital video. Unlike most digital cameras that take short, small, silent video clips, this machine captures movies at a smooth 30 frames-per-second--the same frame rate standard as broadcast television. Also, it records high-quality stereo audio with built-in wind roar reduction, so clips taken at the slopes or the beach are less likely to have their audio muffled by sudden gusts. The VPC-C5 even lets you snap digital stills while you're filming video.

Comparison image between stabilized and non-stabilized images
The VPC-C5 built-in image stabilization minimizes the subtle hand movements and vibrations that make for blurry shots during telephoto shooting.
The camera's large two-inch trans-reflective LCD monitor makes viewing your stills and clips easy, even in direct sunlight. Best of all, the screen is mounted on a pivoting hinge: It swings out and pivots for easy viewing during even high- and low-angle shots, can pivot all the way around for self-portrait framing, and folds together for screen-protecting storage when not in use. The camera supports digital output in the form of USB 2.0 and S-Video analog output.

Easy to Use
Tiny cameras--especially those packed with a lot of features--can be difficult to figure out. Fisher has gotten around this problem by creating an on-board talking navigation guide that explains the camera's features and settings in plain English audio. It comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and it supports the camera-to-printer functionality of PictBridge. The camera even comes with a dedicated docking station to make image uploads and battery recharging a one-touch procedure.
