A New Style of Video Shooting with the World’s Smallest, Lightest, ang Thinnest Body
In developing the Xacti series, SANYO focused on creating compact, extremely portable devices that can be carried anywhere, anytime, and used to record everyday moments. To make the new Xacti CS1 even more compact than previous models, SANYO developed a slim sensor module and a new super-slim lens. Its compact and lightweight dimensions—27 mm thick, 142 g, and 126 cc in volume—make the CS1 a new type of video camera; one so portable that it can dramatically expand your range of shooting situations.

Easily Captures Beautiful Full HD Videos
Despite its extremely slim and compact body, the Xacti CS1 can capture Full HD videos with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The slim, vertical design provides excellent ergonomics and usability. The CS1 records in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video format. As it’s a single-file format, similar to that used for still photos, it’s easy to use on PCs and on the internet. This format is fully supported by the latest Windows® OS, Windows 7*3, released in October 2009. Video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still image files. They can be played back directly with Windows Media Player; can be edited with Windows Live Movie Maker; and are Device Stage compatible. This makes the files even more convenient for use on computers.
