The Sanyo Xacti S6 is introduced. Announced by Sanyo Japan, the Xacti S6 is a 6 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens. An interesting feature of the Sanyo Xacti S6 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 a rather slow start-up time of 2.4 seconds, 15 Mb of internal memory and the ability to focus on a subject that is 5cms away from the camera in Macro mode. The Sanyo Xacti S6 will cost 37,000 yen (around $335 USD) when it is launched in Japan in October.
