Xacti HD1 camcorder caught on tape

We caught wind of the Xacti HD1 high-def camcorder last month, but it hasn't hit the shores here just yet. Akihabara spotted it in the wild and grabbed a short video of Sanyo's 720p camcorder; our first thought: wow is that small! The 80x119x36mm camcorder captures 30fps at 1280 x 720 res and rumor has it that we'll see it for around $800 here next month. Check out the video and then decide if this small wonder is worth $800 to you. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than that HDC-1000 we pointed out earlier; plus it's a tad more portable.
