The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA9 allows users to capture high-definition (1280x720) 30 fps footage without worrying about the effects of water or snow thanks to its waterproof performance up to 1.5 meters (5 feet). Whether you are out in the rain, at the beach or on the ski slopes, you can depend on the CA9 to capture all the action. The CA9 features a 5x optical zoom as well as a 3D DNR noise-reducing function for clearer, more professional-looking videos. With Face Chaser technology, the Xacti CA9 can detect up to 12 faces for photos and videos for accurate exposure and focusing. The CA9 also comes with a 2.5-inch LCD and supports capture of 9.0 megapixels stills.
