A Flip-Like Pocket Cam From Sanyo Does 1080p At 30FPS [Pocket Cam]

Sanyo, long-time expert in making small but powerful dual cameras (video + still), just made its first Flip-type camera. Yes! It not only has Sanyo’s expertise, it also has a 3X optical zoom and dual-mics that seem to be shoulder pads.

The price for the VPC-PD2BK is solely $170 (right in keeping with anything of the pocket cameras), and might do 1080P at 30FPS. It takes 10-megapixel photos, stereo sound recording, flash, SD/SDHC/SDXC card compatible, measures 2.48 x 0.87 x 4.36 and weighs 3.7 ounces. The 3X optical zoom also sets it apart, even though it does make the back look a little unbalanced and cyborgy.

That Sanyo is entering into the cheaper camcorder space is exciting, even though the gap is slowly being squeezed out by higher and higher quality smartphone video recording. Even still, it’s going to be ages before you may get this level of quality on a smartphone. [Sanyo]
