Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 6MP Waterproof MPEG4 Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom (Blue)
Customer Review: This is NOT waterproof!
Summary: 1 Stars
This was purchased December of 2007, it was used 3 times, and never submerged. I brought it to the lake and it was splashed a few times. I went to take a picture with it, and the view was all cloudy. I turned it around and there were water bubbles inside the lens! 3 days later the moisture remains, and there is no possible way to contact Sanyo from their website, or some place to send my camera to have it repaired. 380 dollars down the drain.Customer Review: not an accessory
Summary: 2 Stars
It is great to have a camera that can be used for video and still shots. HOWEVER, my battery charger broke down after using only a few times. The item a lemon since I had only had the camera for 4 months. I called Sanyo asking for a free replacement since it had broken in less than a year. They said since it was an accessory, it was not under warranty so I would have to buy a new one. It is ridiculous to consider a charger as an accessory.Customer Review: Broke after 2 years
Summary: 1 Stars
After two year's use, I opened it up to shoot and the Display was upside down with no solution to correct the issue. I'm not the only one who has had this problem according to web searches. Funny thing is Sanyo has not heard heard on this problem. The their site is not user friendly to ask how to resolve this issue. As for when the camera worked - the underwater images were fantastic. Just not worth the money to break after two years.Customer Review: Fantastic Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This little beauty works superbly for video, still and underwater. We used it in Orlando to take incredible video of the shows at Seaworld, the coaster rides at Universal and underwater in the hotel pool. Battery longevity is decent. Easy and quick to charge. I would recommend carrying a spare battery, if this is your only camera, since it uses a built in battery. Video almost HD quality, and 8MB stills are very clear.Customer Review: Good, but minor problems
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice underwater camcorder. So far, still dry.
Easy to use and makes good mpeg4 videos. The light sensor on mine tends to overexpose videos and overreact at times when the light changes abruptly. The USB cable (a AV/USB type) is not easy to find. It's one of those ones with a very flat end. Good luck finding another one in your USB cable collection.
