Much more than just a regular camcorder, the VPC-CA100 is able to record underwater up to 3m. The underwater capability provides an opportunity for consumers to capture amazing underwater footage or for those who want to capture the action as it happens while trekking, water-skiing, surfing, skiing or snowboarding.

The VPC-CA100 is a stylish, slim bodied Full HD 3m Waterproof Xacti Dual Camera that easily captures beautiful high resolution video and still images simultaneously. By simply pressing the shutter button, consumers can take outstanding still photos while recording full high definition video, without interruption to the movie flow. Capturing Full High Definition video at an impressive 1920 x 1080 resolution, the VPC-CA100 will ensure those beach holiday or outdoor adventure clips are perfectly clear and crisp every time. An impressive 12x Double Range Zoom for video enables consumers to choose from a wider range of video capture by easily switching between different zoom ranges at the touch of button. Additionally, the 5x Optical Zoom for photos means the VPC-CA100 can easily zoom in on distant subjects.

Available in bright pink, vibrant yellow and sleek, sophisticated black, the VPC-CA100 features an impressively compact body with a smooth ergonomic design that is ultimately portable, perfect for carrying with you anywhere for spontaneous photo and movie taking anytime.

The VPC-CA100 Xacti Dual Camera offers an ultra convenient solution for recording and uploading digital photos and videos to the web. The camera records in formats optimised for instant sharing on social networking sites like YouTube and Facebook, ensuring uploading holiday photos and home videos on the Web has never been quicker or easier.

Eye-Fi compatibility enables automatic wireless upload of images and videos to a computer, making the VPC-CA100 an extremely versatile option. Consumers can simply enable the Eye-Fi option and automatically upload pictures when at a café, on holiday, or simply when at home and busy with the kids.

A sophisticated digital image stabiliser provides optimal correction for unintentional camera shake and an colour chaser function that targets moving objects you want to film ensures high quality movies and images are produced every time, without the need for a professional or steady hand. Additionally, a high speed sequential shooting mode takes up to 14 photos with a shutter speed of 1 frame per second (fps) at 14 megapixels or 22 photos with a shutter speed of 7 frames per second (fps) at 2 megapixels, making sure you always capture the perfect picture, even if your subject is moving at speed.

A convenient mini HDMI output allows consumers to plug their camera directly into their TV ensuring they can share their clear images and first class home videos with friends and family quickly and easily on the big screen.

With an increasing focus on HD technology, consumers are progressively looking for compatibility and future proofing in the products they purchase. The VPC-CA100 addresses this need, taking high resolution 14 megapixel still images and recording home movies in high quality Full HD, ensuring those home pictures and videos won't become out of date too quickly in today's quickly evolving technology industry.
