The new waterproof Sanyo Xacti E2 camcorder captures stunning digital video and beautiful 8-megapixel photos — on land and even underwater!
Practically four cameras in one, the Xacti E2 allows you to shoot both photos and video at a park, birthday party, or virtually anywhere else on dry land. And, when the opportunity presents itself, you can also shoot both photos and video while snorkeling or while just playing around in a swimming pool. This means you can enjoy shooting at the beach, by the pool, or on the ski slopes without worrying about submerging the camera or getting it wet from rain or snow.

Customer Feedback :
The two buttons at the very top take still photos and movies, respectively. They are easy to operate, and the still photo button does the usual “press halfway to lock everything in” function. Below these is the usual four way rocker with the button in the middle. When you are making pictures, this area is used mainly to zoom.
There is also a menu button on the back, and many functions, like turning the flash on and off, can only be accessed through the menus. If you have used digital camera menus before, these will be easy to follow.
Pros: Size, easy to use, great macro ability, and very acceptable photo and video quality, with the waterproof feature a plus.
