Sanyo boasts that its VPC-E2 Xacti E2 Waterproof Camcorder (Blue) is four cameras in one because you can record both stills and video on land and underwater (at a depth of 5' for up to 30 minutes). The E2 is perfect for snorkeling, snowboarding, use in the pool, at the beach and just about anywhere there's water or snow. Don't forget about use on dry land though, either. This ergonomically designed camera fits nicely in the palm of your hand, allowing all functions to be easily performed with your thumb, leaving your other hand free to grip the board or adjust equipment when need be. With an 8GB card you can capture up to 8 hours of video and over 2,000 8Mp still images.
Use the generous 2.5" LCD display to compose or play back footage while the 5x optical zoom works to bring far off subjects up-close with no loss in image quality. Other features include digital image stabilization, Face Detection, Super-Fast Start-Up and simultaneous video and still image capture. When you're ready to watch or record your footage to DVD simply connect the camera to your VCR for on TV viewing or DVD recorder for recording.
