Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2: Way too bulky - and not quite functional

With the new Xacti VPC-HD2 Japanese CE company Sanyo just released another addition to the petite collection of hybrid HD cameras. However, reviewers are pretty skeptical: According to testers from
Dcresource.com the VPCHD2 gets to take crisp still shots alright but only if you set the shoot to lower ISO. Image noises are just so visible at higher ISO settings. Under low ISO, the shots are good. It has no lighting adjustment capability also. The camera produces either white-out or burnt prints under extreme or unusual lighting conditions (example: studio lights). Worse, there is not even red-eye reduction capability.
Another negative issue is the size. The Xacti VPC-HD2 is very big at 20.4 cu in. compared to its contemporaries like the Canon PowerShot TX1 which occupies 9.2 cu in. of volume only. The bottomline: The latest Sanyo video gadget is way too big for your pocket.
Retails for around $700.
