DP-Now's First Impressions of Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1

Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1DP-Now have posted their initial impressions of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-C1, a new hybrid digital still/video camera that certainly looks very stylish.

“We haven’t yet had a chance to test the VPC-C1, but Sanyo has supplied some sample images and you can download a selection of these at the end of this page. Assuming that these are unretouched images out of the camera, the quality looks about right for a typical 3MP digicam. There are some compression artefacts detectable, but nothing serious. Sharpness is good and there seems to be an ancouraging lack of the scourge of compact digital cameras, purple fringing associated with chromatic aberrations.”
