Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera
- No Longer Available
Sanyo's VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera uses its 10.7MP CMOS sensor to capture 1080 high definition video with stereo audio, and 10MP digital photos, to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. With a 2" LCD display for composition and playback, digital image stabilization, and other recording features like 3x optical zoom, the VPC-PD2 provides you with a number of tools for preserving all your memories with ease.
When it comes time to share what you've shot the VPC-PD2 features embedded editing software. In addition to letting you customize your photos and videos, Sanyo's embedded software helps you upload directly to social networking sites like Facebook, YouTube, and it even allows you access to Twitter for tweeting. You can also choose to upload your videos right to iTunes for transfer to your video capable iPod or iPhone. If you'd rather see your creations on the big screen, the HDMI connection allows for one-cord connection to your HDTV.
- High Performance and Sharing Made Simple
-
In addition to delivering 1080 HD video quality, the PD2 captures 10MP digital photos in small pocket camcorder design. Separate photo and video recording buttons allow images to be captured easily without changing modes
The PD2 packs 1080 HD video performance into a small, stylish, easy to use pocket camera. Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, the PD2 features an easy to navigate menu which make it a great choice for the beginner and the more advanced user. The integrated, direct USB connection enables the camera to be connected to a PC in seconds without the need for any cables
- Embedded Software for Sharing Videos and Photos
- The PD2 features Sanyo's embedded software application for sharing videos and photos to social media websites. The first time the PD2 is connected to the PC, the Simple Uploader application installer will appear. The application installation takes less than one minute. Videos and photos can be tagged and quickly uploaded to Facebook, YouTube, and Picassa using the Simple Uploader. A convenient link to Tweet on Twitter is available as well
- 2" LCD Display for HD Playback
- The large display allows you to record high definition video or still images in an unobtrusive manner; proving to be especially useful when the need arises to set up and shoot quickly
- 3x Optical Zoom
- The PD2 provides 3x optical zoom, increasing the field of view. This capability is virtually unmatched in the pocket camcorder segment of the digital camcorder market today. The wide angle lens provides an extensive range for video (36mm-108mm) and photos (37mm-111mm)
- High Speed Sequential Photo Mode
- The PD2 features a sequential "photo" shooting mode. When this mode is selected, the camera will take multiple photos in sequential order; providing multiple photo frames. It enables capturing up to 30 photos (1600 x 1200 resolution) at 10 frames per second (in 2MP continuous mode). This allows the camera to be used with confidence even in situations where photo opportunities can easily be missed
- Sophisticated Image Stabilizer
- The PD2 features photo stabilizer technology. It automatically will compensate for distracting up-and-down or side-to-side camera movement, keeping the subject steady and easy to follow. The PD2 accurately distinguishes between unintentional camera shake and deliberate camera movement
- Windows 7 Compatible
- The PD2 is fully supported by the latest Windows OS, Windows 7, further expanding its capabilities. The video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still picture files. They can also be played back directly with Windows Media Player and are editable with Windows Live Movie Maker. This makes the files even more convenient for use on computers
- Easy Playback of Recorded Video Directly on an HDTV
- The PD2 camera features a mini-HDMI output which makes connecting it to a large, high definition television screen or DVD recorder a breeze. The PD2 can also easily be connected to a computer to back-up copies of recorded content via the handy, direct USB 2.0 connection. Still images and video clips are played back continuously and in chronological order. When connected to a PC, a simple drag-and-drop operation makes it easy to save recorded video clips and still images onto a computer's hard disk for emailing, editing or archiving
- SDXC Memory Card Compatibility
- While the PD2 works with standard SD memory, and more high capacity SDHC memory cards, it is also fully compatible with the next generation SDXC memory cards. The PD2 can record to more than 64GB of content to SDXC memory cards. This dramatically improves your ability to record and transfer hours and hours of Full HD 1080 videos to a computer. You can also play PD2 Full HD 1080 videos stored on SDXC cards on your high definition TV
- Includes a High-Capacity Sanyo Brand Lithium-Ion Battery
- The DB-L80 is a high capacity 700mAh battery designed by Sanyo to work with the PD2. It delivers approximately 65 minutes of video record time and can provide up to 240 minutes of continuous playback. The high-energy density design minimizes the battery size and weight, making it perfect for use in the PD2. It will resist memory accumulation so it provides a full charge every time
- Highly Advanced MPEG4 AVC/H.264 Video Compression
- This feature optimizes the file size and makes sharing movies on social networking sites, or emailing them to friends and family, even easier. In fact, the file size can be up to 25 percent smaller than that of typical MPEG-4 cameras. Sanyo's imaging technology achieves high video quality while simultaneously reducing the system power consumption
- 48kHz, 16 Bit, AAC Stereo Sound with Built-In Stereo Microphone and Built-In Speaker
- The PD2 pocket movie Dual Camera records at 48KHz, 16 bit sampling rate. Sound is recorded in a Windows and Mac-friendly AAC audio format. Now you can record, download, and share videos that sound as great as they look - it's that easy
- Easily Transfer Video and Still Images to Your Video Capable iPod
- Import video and still image files directly into iTunes software and then port them to your video-capable iPod. Share your latest masterpiece with friends and family
- Record Over 20 Hours of Full Motion Video
- The PD2 supports the SD memory card standard making it easy to capture videos, photos, and sound recordings in a reliable, easy-to-use format. SD memory cards are available in three capacity formats: SD, SDHC (up to 32GB) and SDXC (up to 64GB available today). The newest generation is SDXC (Extended Capacity) which supports increased storage capacities up to 2TB along with faster read and write operations. Using a 32GB SDHC memory card with the PD2, you can capture up to 20 hours worth of standard definition, full motion video or more 330 minutes in Full HD 1080 video mode
- Capture Still Images While You're Shooting Video
- The PD2 enables simultaneous shooting of video clips and still images with a simple press of the shutter button during the shooting of a movie clip. You will never need to miss another precious photo opportunity. (Depending on the mode used to take still images, simultaneous video clip shooting may be interrupted. While shooting video clips, using the digital image stabilizer may change the angle of view for still images)
- Super-Fast Start-Up
- Reduce the chance of missing the perfect shot. The Dual Camera PD2 is designed for super fast start-up and shooting. With its tapeless design, the PD2 eliminates the need to queue up a video tape, allowing it to begin shooting in as little as 1.7 seconds! Simply power on the PD2 and immediately begin recording

I have 2 Flip MinoHD camcorders that I always shoot video with- I wanted this to have the ability to shoot in 1080, and for the still photo mode/optical zoom. I also liked the idea of a removable battery/memory card (allowing shooting video all day w/o recharging.
I was under the impression the 3x optical zoom would work in video as well as photo mode- it does not. In video mode the zoom is ONLY digital. The quality of the video is quite good for a pocket camcorder. Low light is poor- but you have to expect that from a device this size. The stabilization is decent, stereo mics are very good quality.
You can switch the video from 1080/30FPS, 720/60FPS, 720/30FPS and 640x480. I like having the ability to adjust the quality based on the subject I'm shooting- the lower the quality- the longer the run time.
Battery is good for 1-2 hours. I picked up a spare off a auction site for less than 5 bucks- we'll see how it works. I put a 16GB SD card in mine and it allows for up to 5 hours of shooting.
The camera mode is acceptable- but not great quality, way, way too many artifacts. Noisy images, slow focus, but it still allows you to grab a 10MP image if you have nothing else with you. Flash works well.
I wish the controls were backlight like the flips, but the larger screen and positive controls (not the touch sensitive style on the flip) are better for most use.
Overall I'm very pleased with the device for the price- it's my new "carry it with me all the time" HD camera.

The size and weight of the camera is acceptable. I expected more because it claims to be HD. I even viewed video on my 46" Samsung as another reviewer suggested. The video is just not clear. So many artifacts that it looks smudged like there are spots of vaseline on the lens. Stills and video alike. Panning across a building with cedar shake style siding does not do well with the straight lines as they jump and vibrate on screen.
The microphones are so sensitive that I had to stop breathing while shooting as my breathing sounds were picked up. Can't shoot for long like that. Perhaps if the mics were forward facing rather than facing the sides.
Also the sliding door opens too easily which is very distracting. What image stabilization? Camera shake was tough to control.
Know that my only experience with a video camera is with an older JVC miniDV which takes a far better video at non HD resolutions. I just wanted something small to fit in my pocket but now I don't think going small is worth the loss in video quality so I will be staying away from small cameras if they are all like this one.

Not so good: Image Stabilation, Battery doesn't last long in HD mode. I am looking for a higher Milli Amp. Battery to replace the original I did a lot of research and Sanyo-PD2 in my opinion is the best out there right now. Took me lots of buying and returning to find this out

Comments about Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera:
This is the second Toshiba VPC-PD2 that I have purchased. I liked the first one so much I bought a second. I have used this camera a number of times now for ENG style video reports, a music video and several interviews. The sound quality is excellent and the picture can't be beat. The 3x optical zoom lens is handy and the quality of the image under low light is excellent. I like the fact that I can pop the SD card in my Mac and start editing in Final Cut right away. It is a shame that this camera has been discontinued. If you can find one - buy it! You won't be disappointed.

Comments about Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera:
This is a disabled person's dream. For the price of the Sanyo VPC-PD2, it's worth every cent, sure there are a lot of pocket camera's out there but the PD2 is one that offers high end features for a reasonable price.It offers 3x optical zoom, plus HD capabilty, 720p up to 1080p, stereo sound in recording and playback and can be used with right or left hand. I would recommend it to everyone.
The only thing that I found is that you need a computer to get the full users manual, it's on a PDF file courtesy of Adobe, other than that it's a winner in my book.
Thanks, Bill

Comments about Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera:
I am still learning how to use my new camera. There are things I like about it. I am concerned that for some reason when I play back video on my computer it plays in slow motion with the audio at normal speed. I am also disappointed to realize that the feature that allows you to take repeated shots quickly in snapshot mode only works at the lowest resolution. The camera is very light weight and does not feel all that strong. Will not let my grandkids use it because I am not sure it can stand up to their use.
But, overall, for the price, I think I will be happy with it. Will know more after using it on my upcoming trip to Africa.

Comments about Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera:
I primarily purchased this camera due to its audio quality. I am a professional camera operator, and this is in no way something I would use for work. But I attend many concerts and like to take some video while I'm there, and there's no way they'd let you in with pro gear.
Until now, I was taking HD video with my Canon point-n-shoot, but the sound is always distorted. I've found most the live concert videos shot non-professionally on youtube all have the same audio problems. However, after recently seeing some with good sound, I contacted that particular youtube poster and asked what camera he used, which is how I came across this Sanyo.
HDMI output for viewing directly to a TV, and records to SD card, will accept up to a 64GB SDXC Card, so you can shoot for a while. 2" LCD is nice, and 10 megapixel photos, so pretty decent stills, too.
Easy user interface, fits in the pocket, and takes good video. I'd like a better zoom (3x), but for the size and price, can't really beat it.
Charges with USB, but it didn't come with an Edison>USB connector, which could be a drawback, although I have other devices that I borrow chargers from so it doesn't affect me.

Got mine here for [$] This unit is a bargain. The video is gorgeous even in low light and the photos are very sharp. Controls are simple to figure out, I just wanted something to beat around with during my travels that I wouldn't be upset if I misplaced it. I got more than I expected; I'm so happy with the dual camera That I decided against purchasing more expensive style units. This is the only model of the bloggie style cameras that is not fix focus with digital zoom, the 3X optical zoom makes this unit outperform the others, and the stereo mic picks up sound really well.

This camera works great! Takes great videos! You can't beat it for the price. I think it's the only product I found that has a flash and the 3X optical zoom is awesome!

I usually use and own a DSLR nikon D90, I bought this for for a handy pocket camera. so I don't have to bring my DSLR everywhere I go like; restaurant, travel, casino and so on. the video camera is poor it comes to low light. but the image stabilization is pretty good. taking pictures as you expected for a point and shoot camera. you get what you paid for on this brand and price. if you want a HD point and shoot camera with a very good picture & video camera, this aint the one.

The camera is very compact and has a good feel to it. Love that optical zoom, replaceable Li-Ion battery, and SDHC memory card capable. Carry an extra battery and SD card and your'e ready for an all day of shooting. The 10 Megapixel images are good to print at 8x10. Video quality is very good when shooting outdoor with daylight, sound is good but will record motor noise when zooming.
The cover on the battery compartment kept comming loose and opened while shooting. A small bend with a long nose plier on the latch of the cover fixed the problem.

Comments about Sanyo VPC-PD2 Full HD 1080 Pocket Movie Dual Camera:
I used the camera at the Sydney Motor Show Oct 2010. It performed very well.
Colour reproduction is great. The image stabiliser helps to get smooth panning shots and 3x optical zoom for composition. Close focus is amazing,
down to 3 inches! Great for flower photos and video. The only drawbacks I found were that there is no constant focus while using video, focus is set when you start a clip, and also there is some picture shake when zooming while filming. These are only minor problems and I would definitely recommend buying the camera.
