 Sanyo VPC-C5 - Dual function
The design and finishing of the Sanyo Xacti C5 are as exceptional as the new dual-function device category invented by Sanyo and the camera's high-quality technology. The ultra-portable Sanyo VPC-C5 weighs just 142 grams; with dimensions of just 67.5 x 108 x 23 mm, it is the world's slimmest photo-video camera. Not only does it fit in a jacket pocket, it makes a trendy companion in any designer handbag. Its ultra-slim form, clear lines and elegant aluminum case in a classy copper, platinum or diamond-white finish make it a stylish accessory.
Sanyo C5 - Extra large 2-inch display
The LCD display is also striking: the 2" screen (diagonal measurement) can be folded out and swiveled up to 293 degrees. It serves as a viewfinder, control monitor, user interface and power switch. As soon as the screen is shut the camera immediately goes into standby mode; open the screen and the camera is ready to shoot again in just 1.7 seconds. Now you will never miss an unexpected photo opportunity again! The display reproduces images clearly even in bright lighting. This is made possible by a special reflective coating on the back of the display that uses incident light to provide background illumination.
Xacti C5 - Integrated image stabilizer
The 5x optical zoom with a maximum focal length of 31.7mm (equivalent to 190mm on a 35mm camera) means that photographers will always be close to the action with the Sanyo C5. The 12x digital zoom brings even distant scenes in close. Because even minor hand movements can blur images when using long focal lengths, the Sanyo VPC C5 has an integrated image stabilizer. It eliminates even the slightest movements and vibrations to ensure that sharp images are no longer left to chance with telephoto settings. A practical 5-point auto-focus system aids focusing. This system takes the composition of an image into account and allows photographers to focus on a particular object even if it is not located in the center of the image. Alternatively, users can use the 15-step manual focus.
Sanyo C5 digital camera - Image chat
The Sanyo VPC-C5 digital camera delivers the goods at home or at work as well. When connected to a PC, this all-round camera doubles as an easy-to-use webcam. In PC Camera Mode it is ideal for Internet video conferences or personal chat sessions with direct visual contact. The user-friendly docking station, included with the camera, makes connecting the Sanyo C5 to a PC a snap. It simplifies slideshows on a PC screen and downloading image files. The docking station recharges the Sanyo VPC-C5's Lithium-ion battery as at the same time as well.
