Specifications

It's easy to shoot high-quality photos and video anytime inspiration strikes with the ultra-compact Sanyo Xacti VPC-C5 digital camera. The VPC-C5 digital camera is a full-fledged digital video camera that records films in MPEG4 format with VGA resolution at 30 frames per second as well as an outstanding digital camera with a resolution of 5 million pixels, which the in-camera software can interpolate to 10 Megapixels. And if you can't decide, simply select the Dual Shot function. It activates the video and photo functions so that you can take full resolution, 5 Megapixel photos while shooting video at the same time.

• Stylish and Compact Design: The ultra-portable Sanyo VPC-C5 weighs just 5.0 oz. (142 grams); with dimensions of just 2.7" x 4.3" x 0.9" (67.5 x 108 x 23 mm). Not only does it fit in a jacket pocket, it makes a trendy companion in any designer handbag. Its ultra-slim form, clear lines and elegant aluminum case in a classy copper, platinum or diamond-white finish make it a stylish accessory.

• Large 2-inch Display: The 2" LCD display can be folded out and swiveled up to 293 degrees. It serves as a viewfinder, control monitor, user interface and power switch. As soon as the screen is shut the camera immediately goes into standby mode; open the screen and the camera is ready to shoot again in just 1.7 seconds. The display reproduces images clearly even in bright lighting, thanks to a special reflective coating on the back of the display that uses incident light to provide background illumination.

• Powerful 5x Optical Zoom: The 5x optical zoom with a maximum focal length of 31.7mm (equivalent to 190mm on a 35mm camera) means that photographers will always be close to the action with the Sanyo VPC-C5. The 12x digital zoom brings even more distant scenes in close.

• Integrated Image Stabilizer: Because even minor hand movements can blur images when using long focal lengths, the Sanyo VPC C5 has an integrated image stabilizer. It eliminates even the slightest movements and vibrations to ensure that sharp images are no longer left to chance with telephoto settings.

• Auto & Manual Focus: A practical 5-point auto-focus system aids focusing. This system takes the composition of an image into account and allows photographers to focus on a particular object even if it is not located in the center of the image. Alternatively, users can use the 15-step manual focus.

• Image Chat Feature: When connected to a PC, this all-round camera doubles as an easy-to-use webcam. In PC Camera Mode it is ideal for Internet video conferences or personal chat sessions with direct visual contact.

• Convenient Docking Station: The user-friendly docking station, included with the camera, makes connecting the Sanyo C5 to a PC a snap. It simplifies slideshows on a PC screen and downloading image files. The docking station recharges the Sanyo VPC-C5's Lithium-ion battery as at the same time as well.
