WORLDS FIRST HD WATERPROOF DUAL CAMERAS
Announcement posted by Sanyo 19 Mar 2009
SANYO, one of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies, today announced the launch of its new HD waterproof dual camera range, which allows for still images and movies to be taken simultaneously without interruption to the movie flow and it can all happen under water!
The two new waterproof dual camera models, the VPC-CA9EX and VPC-WH1EX, are able to record underwater to a depth of up to 1.5m and 3m respectively for a period of 60 minutes. The underwater capability provides an opportunity to capture amazing underwater footage and both models provide outstanding HD quality video.
Both models offer high definition recording, providing clearer and crisper images. The VPC-WH1EX has an amazing 30x zoom, the largest zoom of any waterproof camera in the world+. The dual camera format is perfect for capturing both video and stills at the same time. With a simple press of the shutter button, users can take photos while recording video ensuring all their adventures are captured in video and still image formats.
The new range is flash memory based, requiring less battery power while in use, resulting in more efficient battery use. In addition, the dual cameras are compact and lightweight, ideal for taking with you to the family BBQ or snorkelling adventures on the next holiday.
Style underwater is also considered with the new waterproof dual cameras being offered in a range of colours and styles. The VPC-CA9EX is a classic ‘pistol grip’ shape that fits easily into the palm of one hand. The VPC-CA9 is available in black or a very fashionable red. The VPC-WH1EX is a horizontal camera that is available in an adventurous yellow or blue with pearl-white highlights.
HDMI outputs on the VPC-WH1EX allow consumers to plug the camera directly into a TV to ensure ultimate viewing clarity and content is protected ensuring compatibility with future digital products.
The new SANYO dual camera range will be available from April at Camera House, Cameras Direct and Digital Camera Warehouse stores across Australia. Visit www.sanyo.com.au for more information.
