The Amazing Greg Watts Captured by Jeremy and Xacti

December 3, 2009 by robhoward Leave a Comment

Check out Bikeskills Greg Watts captured by our Jeremy Teman and the new Sanyo Xacti Dual Cam. Sanyo’s new combination video/still cameras are pretty amazing. In video mode, the Xacti shoots full 1080P HD and has an array of modes including slow-motion at up to 600 frames/second. As a still camera, 12MP resolution delivers very nice images and with 12 frames/second sequence mode, it’s perfect for high-speed action sports like mountain biking, skiing… there’s even a waterproof model you can take surfing with you! Who knows, the Xacti might be that Xmas present you were thinking about….
