This torchlight-lookalike camcorder from Sanyo records in full 1,080p high-definition, with an option to record at 30 frames-per-second (fps) or 60 fps. The VPC-HD1010’s fast f/1.8 lens also allows a 10x optical zoom, with a 38-380 mm range.

The 2.7-inch widescreen LCD display rotates up to 285 degrees, ideal for shooting videos or images in large crowds or from awkward positions. It also incorporates all the latest in digital still imaging photography for shooting 4-megapixel photos, including face detection of up to 12 faces (called “Face Chaser” for video), and image stabilization.
