Sanyo's Xacti DMX-C4 MPEG-4 Camera

While we're waiting for these MPEG-4 cameras to have hard drives so they can actually start replacing bigger tape cameras, companies still seem more concerned with making the camera itself smaller and smaller. Sanyo's new Xacti DMX-C4 still just uses SD cards for storage, but at least it does weigh less than six ounces. It also has the best specs for a hybrid photo/video ultra-portable: 4 megapixels, almost DVD-quality video (you can fit about an hour's worth on a 1GB SD card), and a 5.8x optical zoom lens. And you can get it in either "romance blue" or "active orange". Coming out in Japan next month, but this probably will make it to the US soon under the Fisher brand name.
