The Xacti HD1000 goes for $800 and is now shipping.Īpple has announced its new iMac line-up, including the updated iLife ’08 software package. We like the sleek and ergonomic looking design which is somewhat reminiscent of the VPC-HD2 design. Sanyo is boasting that the Xacti HD1000 is the smallest and lightest full HD camcorder, weighing in at only 9.5 ounces and has a total volume of 16.6 cubic inches. It’s also equipped with an HDMI output for connecting to a compatible HDTV. The HD1000 records MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video stored to SD/SDHC Memory Card. Sanyo has been slowly but surely releasing new camcorders this year and they do it again with the Xacti HD1000 full HD (1920 pixels by 1080 pixels) camcorder. Keep your eyes peeled for a review of Sony Vegas 8 Pro from Videomaker. It ships with DVD Architect Pro 4.5 and Dolby Digital AC-3 encoding software for $700 (upgrade pricing for current Vegas users is available). Vegas Pro 8 is fully Microsoft Windows Vista-compatible and includes support for editing and delivering Sony AVCHD content.
This new version adds 32-bit floating point video processing, multicamera workflow and ProType titler for animated text effects. Sony Vegas Pro 8 made its debut at IBC 2007 in September.
