 Great outdoors! Inside... not so much October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This camera is small and compact, and easy to use. It takes great pictures and video outdoors when there is an abundance of light. Indoors the photos and video are extremely poor. You can change the settings indoors to allow more light into the camera but the photos are just too "grainy" to be worth anything. If you know you will be shooting outdoors mostly and want a small easy to use camera that is easy to carry with you and operate then this is worth getting. If you plan on shooting indoors or without much light in the scene this camera is not for you. Here is a link to many photos I shot with this camera. As you can see the outdoor photos are really pretty good.

 Not Perfect, but I'm happy with it... October 26, 2008
We bought this about a year ago, and have used it a lot since then. We have an infant and a toddler, so having a video camera so easy to carry around and use on the spot is invaluable. I've been impressed with the video quality, long battery life, and smoothness(i.e. The video doesn't look shakey even though my hand is notoriously unsteady). The still pictures I take seem to just turn out ok, but I'm still glad to have it on the spot and we use another camera for nicer pics.
Moved up from a HD1 October 15, 2008

I bought the HD700 after my HD1 died and have had it now for about 6 months. I stuck with Sanyo in spite of all the trouble with the HD1 because I love the form factor so I was somewhat suprised to see that the HD700 was slightly smaller, great! As others have stated, there are quite a bit of image problems-poor low light, narrow field of view. I've found the video saturation and noise to be less than the HD1, but, the low light performance is still pretty poor. Also, the 5x optical zoom is only fair as it seems that the image is a bit blurry. The HD1 10x zoom was better. I more or less happy with the HD700 as my primary requirment is a small camcorder.
 Excellent September 16, 2008
I bring this camera everywhere I go, it's portable and produces amazing videos. You'll never miss a single shot, it's durable and scratch resistant, besides the black part. It cost 100 less than the Xacti HD1000, but it's nearly as good, so it's excellent.
But beware, dark or moderately lighted areas are not good for this camcorder, other than that, the camera shoots good anywhere else, especially in HD!
definitely worth its half-off price September 15, 2008
bought this camera when it wa half-off for just one day. great deal. It's true you need to step back far enough to experience the advertised wide-angle. Other than that, no complaints.
