A new web experience via the Xacti Digital Video Cam revolution

Japanese electronics giant, Sanyo has unveiled their latest digital camera, the DMX-CG65. This is the first line from the Xacti 2.0 project; a collaboration between Sanyo and four leading Web 2.0 corporations.
The DMX-CG65 is a pretty powerful camera capable of giving improved high-resolution video images. When fitted with an 8GB SDHC Memory card, the Xacti video cam can easily manage 10 hours recording time of top-quality movies. While filming, users can switch modes and capture 6 Megapixel still images. Additionally, the DMX-CG65 is specially designed to incorporate Web 2.0 functionality. The cameras embrace the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 web movie format, which is made possible by a built-in LSI “Pure Force Engine III” facility for quick image processing. Top-quality video content is generated with relative ease and can be uploaded to a computer, from where it may distributed to the general web community, via blogs, podcasts and video-swapping sites. This underscores the goals of the Xacti 2.0 project, which entails connecting people in diverse locales and sharing info across online communities. With this innovation, Sanyo aims to develop the concept of “movie-blogs”.
The marvels of the DMX-CG65 are brought to us, courtesy of the Xacti 2.0 project which promises to introduce an exceptional movie culture. Xacti is a joint research venture, which is spearheading the growth of web communities using state-of-the-art digital video formats. Xacti cameras will be available in Japan beginning late April and will retail about ¥50,000 (Approx. $426).
