Very nice unboxing and review of the features. I have the Xacti HD1000 and it's the best camera I've ever owned. I was hoping the 1010 would be more of an upgrade so I'll wait at least another generation before upgrading. I'll be awaiting your vid where you tell the differences between the new and older generations. It really is unconsionable that Sanyo doesn't have an auto lens cover on such an expensive camera. And also a more powerful zoom. Cont.
i'm pretty sure that it does have the facility for the add on lenses, i am awaiting delivery also later today for me, this is why i cannot sleep, i am goint to put up some reviews of the hd1010 in the next few days so keep a look out for my reviews
Even though I love my HD100, if Canon's FS100was Hi-Def I'd have to go with it because of the zoom and the auto lens cover, and although an entirely different shape it's probably a similiar weight.
hi, like the video, i'm extremely interested in buying this awesome camera - there's just one thing i don't get: as i can see in this video the camera can shoot with 30 or 60 fps... see the thing is that i've seen loads of slow motion videos shot with the xacti hd1010, and the videos say that it's shot with 300 fps... i'm not sure what to make of it?? another thing is the manual focus - is there manual focus at all? if yes, then is it controlled with the joystick or what?
What program do you guys use to edit videos? i have sony vegas, but its a pain trying to always convert files to use on it. and i seem to lose quality. Is there any good editing programs out there that work with this camera??? even the Nero8 that comes with it is pretty limited for editing options and it doesnt work great either... thanks
While I love my Xacti-1010 it's NOT an AVCHD camera. It's a HD form of MP4 ACV/H264. You'll need a freebie software, Mpeg Streamclip to convert the files so you can edit tiem (mov or AVI plus other choices). Streamclip is available for both PC and MAC. Final Cut's log an transfer will not see these files because they're MP4 and not M2T files. I am able to edit the converted files in both Final Cut Express on my Mac and in Vegas on my PC with no problems at all. Gorgeous pictures.
@MALEKAMOVES - Yes you can use it in water. Just Google Sanyo Xacti 1010 underwwater. There is a special housing for the camera. Also saw one video of it in use on Vimeo.
I don't believe it. Had miine on the front of a moving train (clips will be uploaded soon) and other than being careful to hold the camera somewhat steady, the OIS seemed to work fine. We bought a little hand holder extender for $10 at Calumet and this really helps to hold the camera a lot better.
in the uk where i am they only sell the camcorder with a 4gb sd card and a hdmi card all for £339.99 they dont sell the camcorder by its self. well they do but its called sanyo vpchd1010ebk. is that the same as sanyo xacti hd1010?
Hi I have downloaded the streamclip and converted the mpeg-4 file from my xacti to avi - Do you know how I can get the sound to synchronise with the pictures?
I usually convert to QT-MOV using Streamclip and never had problems with audio sync.. then I usually bring it into Vegas Pro 8 because these clips are not supported in FCP. I have worked with them IN Final Cut without doing any composits and made DVD's though.
Don't have Final Cut Studio yet, just Express. I'll have to try getting it into iMovie. Can't get the Log & Transfer to see the clips in FCE! I used MPEG Streamclip to get it into Express though.
1.18 - did not sound like you said docking station to me LOL - sounded like it began with a F...... nice camera though - I would be using it to record sport so i think it might get anoying to not have a strap to keep camera on your hand
I have converted the video to avi but the sound and pictures aren't synchronised (in windows media player ) - can anyone help on this please? I am very new to all this video stuff!!
Wow, pretty cool camera. Two disappointing things about this model: 1) Proprietary connections, that's annoying. Who wants to keep up with 4 different adaptors. Geez 2) Appears that the screen has to be open in order to record video. Small/sleek camera becomes akward and fragile with that thing sticking out there.
one of the best reviews i have seen on youtube, well done matt

Nice job on the unboxing! Keep these videos coming.
Yea, it's free shipping. They won't be running out of stock soon so you have time to get one!
Nice video. thanks. I just bought this camera yesterday. How are you editing the AVCHD?
i'm pretty sure that it does have the facility for the add on lenses, i am awaiting delivery also later today for me, this is why i cannot sleep, i am goint to put up some reviews of the hd1010 in the next few days so keep a look out for my reviews
How do you charge this? Do you use the docking station or is there a battery charger. Or do you have to buy a new battery?

Where's your H1010 review...? Not there.
@MALEKAMOVES - Yes you can use it in water.

thanks great video.
what is the best way to edit this type of file on premiere ( MP4 ) ? do you have to convert it first? thanks thanks GRACIAS!
would you say the 1010 is the best that sanyo make
hey dude. what kind of camcorder you used in making this video.. thanks.
I don't believe it. Had miine on the front of a moving train (clips will be uploaded soon) and other than being careful to hold the camera somewhat steady, the OIS seemed to work fine.

Perhaps but the reply was only intended to inform him / her that the facility is there.
thats also my question. can it upload vids onto windows movie maker?
awesome thank you so much, buying tomorrow
in the uk where i am they only sell the camcorder with a 4gb sd card and a hdmi card all for £339.99 they dont sell the camcorder by its self. well they do but its called sanyo vpchd1010ebk. is that the same as sanyo xacti hd1010?
Where you able to use the 32GB SD card in this camera after all?
Yes, but you have to buy a wide lense if that's what you're asking.
Hi I have downloaded the streamclip and converted the mpeg-4 file from my xacti to avi - Do you know how I can get the sound to synchronise with the pictures?
I'm getting this for Christmas and it was off of Amazon for $319.00 On sale. It's originally $649.99.
ive heard that it films in 300 fps hi speed, for slow motion effects, is that true?
I usually convert to QT-MOV using Streamclip and never had problems with audio sync.. then I usually bring it into Vegas Pro 8 because these clips are not supported in FCP. I have worked with them IN Final Cut without doing any composits and made DVD's though.

can u film underwater
the CA9 is also waterproof version
1.18 - did not sound like you said docking station to me LOL - sounded like it began with a F......
nice camera though - I would be using it to record sport so i think it might get anoying to not have a strap to keep camera on your hand
Sanyo's got a 2000 out now.

Was about $700 at Frys in Ilinois.
Nice time to buy. Found one for $410

the CA9 is also waterproof
I have converted the video to avi but the sound and pictures aren't synchronised (in windows media player ) - can anyone help on this please? I am very new to all this video stuff!!
O, well i guess you'll have to find it on another website.

if u research the web, mac pc's do not support the sanyo hd camcorders, they will not read the files accordingly
Many Quality Cameras work on Mac
@DyeSwatForeign Walmart never had this model for $170
Honestly, try final cut or even imovie.
ive got this camcorder. its too sickk
cg10 is better for the price but the sanyo hd1010 is still better and you can get it for 300 and something dollars which is 200 pounds
viewing this review i dont see any diference betwing the 1000.
wallmart is $170
@leodee lol
now this is getting annoying which onte is water proof
there is not much difference.
