The Sanyo Xacti E6 is introduced. Announced by Sanyo Japan, the Xacti E6 is a 6 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 38-114mm. The most striking aspect of the Sanyo E6 is on the back of the camera - a massive 3 inch touch-sensitive LCD screen with 230,000 pixels! Another interesting feature of the Sanyo Xacti E6 is its touch-sensitive shutter button, which focuses on the subject as soon as you touch the button (rather than having to half-press it). Shutter lag is therefore just 0.05 seconds. Other features include 16 Mb of internal memory, MPEG4 video clips and various digital effects. The Sanyo Xacti S6 is launched in Japan in September.
