Sanyo has just released the Xacti Digital Movie HD1000 that comes in an extremely compact package - it measures just 90mm x 112.6mm x 54.5mm while weighing 268 grams. It has been specially designed for one-handed shooting on-the-fly, making it a great portable HD video recorder. You can even use that as an impromptu digital still camera as it can freeze moments forever in 4 megapixels at up to ISO 3200.

Amazingly ample, you can film a video and take a still photograph simultaneously - a great feature for those who hesitate on which mode to choose at the right moment. [Product Page]
