Sanyo yesterday announced six dual camera Xactis as a part of the 2009 lineup. All new cameras are equipped with HD recording and sport dual cameras so that the user does not need to change between photo and video modes. The videos are recorded in MPEG-4/H.264 formats which make TV/PC viewing, editing and sharing on web easy.
