Digital camera reviews of Sanyo VPC-FH1A Full HD Video and 8 MP Digital Photos (Black)
Digital camera Review: 1A, or not 1A
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this FH1A. After a few days I noticed that according to the manual, it was the FH1 instead. But what's the big deal? The only difference is the the FH1A has iFrame, which is 960 x 540 and so not even HD. And the FH1 lists for more than the FH1A, on Amazon anyway. The Sanyo website says the specs for the two are the same. So I think I'll keep it. It's like everyone here and elsewhere say--good for the price. You can do better, if you are prepared to pay twice as much money. It came with AV and composite cables, but not HDMI. Strangely, it does come with antinoise cores to install on an HDMI cable, should you choose to get one. I did get a couple HDMI cables, cheap, from Amazon. They seem to work fine without installing the cores. Looks really great on my 42in LCD TV.
After I wrote the above, I re-checked the camera itself. The camera label says FH1. But, it does offer the 960x 540 iFrame resolution as an option in the menu, and this is not mentioned in the manual. So I guess it's a hybrid, FH1(A). Maybe I will try the 960 x 540 sometime. In the meantime, it's a keeper!
