href="http://en.akihabaranews.com/48415/camcorder/sanyo-officially-unveil-the-world-first-waterproof-full-hd-camera-with-the-xacti-dmx-ca100" target="_blank"]Akihabara News[/a], the Xacti DMX-CA100 improves on its predecessors by allowing 1080i and 1080p video recording both above and below the surface thanks to an improved 14 megapixel sensor, along with a whole host of new enhancements sure to bring a smile to any amateur videographer.
If you have a tendency to splash around for a hobby, the most interesting improvement in the Xacti DMX-CA100 is a doubling of the depth at which it can be used - according to Sanyo, this latest model is good to a depth of 3m for up to an hour at a time. Unlike some cameras, the body itself is waterproof - there's no need for a separate casing when using the device underwater.
As well as the improved resolution and depth rating, the new Xacti introduces support for high-capacity SDXC memory cards, an in-built battery which can be charged over mini-USB, a mini HDMI port for direct connection to your HDTV or monitor, and improved control interfaces to make the device easier to use - especially whilst underwater.
The Xacti DMX-CA100 is due to launch this summer, although Sanyo has yet to announce firm UK availability dates or expected pricing.
