HD has become a buzz phrase in recent years, traveling from the marketing boardrooms of tech companies, through the halls of Congress, and right down into consumer consciousness. Until the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1, however, the price of producing high definition video has been out of reach for many. HD at under $800 carries with it the promise of state-of-the-art technology for the masses, and Sanyo is expecting customers to come salivate at their door in a classic Pavlovian response.We have one message: don’t get suckered.
