Samples from the Sanyo HD1000

It's mostly about the HD1000 but they do compare it to the Panasonic SD7

It’s best to search around this site to get more samples.

Sanyo HD1000 Samples Extravaganza

Although there aren’t any 720 60p clips, I give the poster a lot credit for being this generous with all these native clips.

Enjoy

Bought an Xacti HD1000 yesterday at B&H and LOVE it! If Sanyo were to make a "pro" version of this Xacti it would be great!!!
It begs for a manual focus ring and a few other small refinements....

Here's a very quick clip in 720P60 right out of the camera with no adjustments at all other than cutting the clip's duration (hence the .mov extension instead of .mp4)
All I did was kneel down and shoot into my snakes cage~~~(had a very harsh LED flashlight on top of the cage so there's slight clipping with a blue hue)
Check out the smooth motion 60fps allows!

(right click and save file)

You bought it right after B&H lowered its price and for people who doesn’t live in New York, their offering free shipping.

I agree that the footage you can get in this camcorder is very good and it easily competes with AVCHD camcorders but I also wish they would release a more professional model because many companies are sacrificing features such as a focusing ring, etc and Sanyo can really take advantage of that market especially if they also increase the bit rate to around 20 to 25Mbps and add 24p and 30p options to the 1920X1080 mode.

Yes a "Pro" version of this type of cam would be great. I'd especially like to see a manual focus ring (or similar) and histogram/highlight info.......other than that I'm pretty pleased with it.

It produces cleaner and more accurate colors than the HD1/10 series from JVC, for a fraction of the price.
The (720P) files drop straight into FCP6 (FCS2) and can be edited no problem at all, I'm guessing it might be similar for PC users.

(It can use the Aiptek Go-HD batteries, what a plus!!!!)

I didn't see this one posted anywhere so thought I'd add it. It's my favorite HD1000 clip (clip Large): "Better Off Without You" by The Clarks

Had the large one on my drive but seemed to have deleted it.
