World’s first high-definition compact digital media camera uses an OLED display

Making its debut at the CES 2006, the Sanyo Xacti HD1 is the world’s first high-definition compact digital media camera (among commercially available high-definition media cameras, as of January 2006). Offering advanced, next-generation video performance, the Sanyo HD1 is the world’s smallest and lightest high-definition digital media camera, ideal for recording today with the future in mind. Sanyo, the world’s leading manufacturer of digital cameras and components, designed the Sanyo Xacti VPC HD1 to easily record both 720p high-definition video and 5.1 Megapixel digital still images to a standard SD flash memory card. The Sanyo Xacti HD1 will be available in the U.S. in late March at an MSRP of $799.99.

The Sanyo Xacti HD1 features an ultra-clear 2.2-inch Sanyo-developed OLED display with 210,000 total pixels for exceptional viewability. The display flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees on axis for taking great video or still images in otherwise difficult locations. Trademark features of OLED display technology are expanded viewing angles and up to 5,000 times faster response speed when compared with conventional display technologies, enabling smooth playback of rapid movements.
