The Sanyo VPC-HD2000A is one of two ultra-affordable camcorders (VPC-FH1A and VPC-HD2000A) released in October 2009. Both of them were touted as the first digital camcorders to support iFrame, a technology that drastically improves the speed of importing, editing, and sharing videos. The difference is that the VPC-HD2000A sports a vertical form factor. Otherwise, there are no major differences. Like its peer, the device can handle full 1080p high-definition video at 60fps, as well as take high-quality digital photos at 8MP. Included also is a 10x optical and 10x digital zoom; an HDMI output for transmitting recorded content directly to an HDTV unit; and support for SD/SDHC cards. All in all, the Sanyo VPC-HD2000A is a high-powered digital camcorder that retails for a highly affordable price, especially considering its extensive capabilities.

The Panasonic HDC-TM10 is a late 2009 camcorder that is very similiar to the HDC-SD10. They both have a limited 16x zoom, advanced optical image stabilization, 1920 x 1080 full-HD videos, 8GB of built-in memory, and most important of all: an extremely light body that weighs only 0.5 pounds. One of the main differences...
