"With the Xacti brand, SANYO has created a new market segment, based on the concept of being able to take both high quality videos and photos with one simple unit. The new cameras offer more choice and more functionality than ever before all of the new models record in high definition and all record onto SD card, they include many standout features such as longer battery life, the world's first waterproof high definition dual camera and the world's first 1080 60p dual camera."

"We have every confidence in the potential of the new Xacti range and in our own capabilities to promote and market this genuinely revolutionary product through our world-class service offering," concluded Jonathan.
