SANYO has announced the launch of the new VPC-CS1 Slim Full HD Xacti Dual Camera, the smallest, lightest and thinnest*1 camera in its class perfect for those who want a high quality 8 megapixel portable camera with the latest in-built technology, that is easy to slip in your pocket and take anywhere.

The new VPC-CS1 Xacti Dual Camera is more than just a regular camcorder, easily capturing high resolution photos and video simultaneously. With a simple press of the record button, users can take photos of their friends and family while recording Full High Definition video at 1920 x 1080 pixels, without interruption to the movie flow. 

The stylish VPC-CS1 is the perfect companion for weekends away, holidays or when you are just out with friends and family as it can be easily carried in your pocket or handbag. The feather light and sleek, slim design is even more compact than previous models, incorporating a newly developed slim sensor module and a new super slim lens. Plus with two chic colours to choose from - silver and hot pink, the VPC-CS1 will be sure to complement your unique style.

"The VPC-CS1 is the essential accessory for all Australians - it takes beautiful images anytime, anywhere but more importantly, comes in a stunning package; the VPC-CS1 is sleek, compact, light and comes in two great colours, perfect to suit any style," said Bill Crichton, Managing Director of SANYO Oceania.

The VPC-CS1 Dual Camera offers an ultra convenient solution for recording and sharing digital photos and video. Uploading photos and videos to the Web is quick and easy as the cameras record in formats optimised for instant sharing on social networking sites like YouTube and Facebook.  Also featuring an iFrame option built in, the VPC-CS1 records in the same format used for editing with iMovie, dramatically speeding up the processes of importing, editing and sharing movie

Eye-Fi compatibility enables automatic wireless upload of photos and videos to a computer making the VPC-CS1 extremely versatile for easy uploading when out and about. Users can simply enable the Eye-Fi function and effortlessly upload their images and video while travelling for work or even while at home and busy with the kids

A sound zoom function with three microphone modes enables the VPC-CS1 to selectively record crisp and clear sound. The gun microphone mode records stereo sound from directly in front, a wide mode records stereo sound from the surrounding area or you can select a mixture of both (zoom combination mode), allowing sound recording according to the scene

SANYO‟s new range of Xacti Dual Cameras now makes it easier to share captured memories with family and friends. The VPC-CS1 is fitted with a mini HDMI output so users can plug their camera directly into their TV to view footage in Full HD on the big screen.
