The size of the CG6 is perfect. It is small enough to fit into a purse or pocket, yet large enough that you don't feel like you are going to break or drop it during use. The camera uses a pistol-grip style which works perfectly for both left and right-handed users. The fact that the camera is so small also means it is extremely lightweight.

These days, computer equipment is more sensitive to power disruptions than ever before. The Sanyo Denki A11H is a true on-line UPS that provides constant power to multiple computer systems, and its design allows it to work well with backup generators. We take a look at a 700W tower-style model and the optional LAN Interface card.

Sanyo is to be commended for another bold attempt to unify the differing needs of camcorder and digital camera users. However, it still doesn't quite pull it off. The VPC-HD1000 is an impressive device and you're sure to evoke admiring glances when you whip it out in public. But the video quality is below that of HD camcorders from the big brands, and a sub-£200 pocket camera from the likes of Canon or Panasonic will beat its still images. So, yet again, the Xacti is a reasonable jack of two trades, but not quite master enough of either.

The compact Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 camcorder records in high-definition and has an innovative design, but the competition is eating it alive.

Sanyo's M1 (available from Sprint for $199.99 USD with the usual rebates and contract restrictions) is a superior cell phone. It's light, it's relatively compact, it delivers plenty of volume for voice and ring tones, and it gets great reception. Its 2 MP camera takes surprisingly blur-free pictures, and it has a bright LCD screen that displays the numbers you're calling in such a large font that even the thickest Coke-bottle glasses wearer will be able to see. There's just one problem: Sanyo has ballyhooed the M1 as "The Music Phone with More." Unfortunately, the "more" in this case is more bad, as in a bad music software application. It's sort of like a cheese shop that only sells green cheddar.

You might reasonably expect a 32in LCD TV available for as little as £940 to be nothing more than, well, a 32in LCD TV. But for Sanyo's CE-32LDY1, being a TV is merely the start of its talents. For it's one of a very select few LCD TVs in the UK that also sports a built-in hard disk drive for recording TV programmes.

Last month I reviewed the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1, a hybrid still/HD video camera. I was impressed by its unique abilities, especially its HD video mode, as well as its futuristic style and exemplary build quality. I was less impressed with its price. £540 for a five megapixel camera is a lot of money, especially since the still picture quality was below average.

As I've reported before, many manufacturers have tried and failed to
produce the perfect hybrid of a digital still camera and a digital video
camera. In theory it shouldn?t be too hard; after all they both use the same
core technology. They both use compact high-powered zoom lenses, both use
rechargeable batteries and both capture their images using CCDs. However for
some reason no attempt so far has been truly successful. The last one I
reviewed was the dismal Sony DSC-M2, which suffered from appalling handling
and incomprehensible controls.

The Sanyo PLV-Z4 is the most flexible home cinema projector under $2,000 that I could find. You get a high quality home theater that will keep you smiling for weeks. The noise is pretty low and does not disturb the movie experience. Image quality is just excellent. It is really like in a Cinema. I predict small screen Cinemas will just die soon (again)...

The SANYO Xacti C6 is a super-slim camera that captures high resolution 6-megapixel still images, VGA quality motion video with stereo audio with 60fps playback and a voice recorder function -- and it all fits right in your pocket! The C6 is compact and ergonomically designed so it can be easily operated with just one hand. Compared to its predecessor, the Xacti C5, the C6 employs a new low-noise, 6-megapixel CCD sensor and uses 9-pixel mixing technology which allows it to record much brighter and clearer video in low-light situations...

The Xacti VPC-E6 is one of many offerings from Sanyo this year (2005), and the third model we have seen thus far. It includes many high-end features like a 6-megapixel imager, massive 3.0-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom lens, 640x480 QuickTime video, and unique Touch Sensor Shutter Button. It can be used by any member of your household with its various automatic exposure modes, and for those who want to be creative, you can also choose from several digital filters...

The Sanyo Xacti C4 is a stylishly thin, pocket-sized 4-megapixel hybrid - it's both a digital still camera and MPEG-4 video camera offering built-in digital image stabilization and a swiveling 1.8-inch trans-reflective LCD screen. Users can select real-time interpolation up to 8 megapixels which allows photos to be enlarged to "bigger than life" proportions without sacrificing image fidelity. The Xacti C4 is available in silver, gold, blue or orange models...

The Xacti VPC-C5 is the latest ultra-compact "hybrid" digicam and tapeless video camcorder that Sanyo has to offer. The first model was the VPC-C1, most of us in the U.S. probably know it better at the Fisher FVD-C1, a 3.2-megapixel camera. The new C5 includes many high-end features like a 5-megapixel imager, 5x optical zoom with auto macro, digital image stabilizer, VGA (640x480) sized MPEG-4 movies, and a swiveling 2.0-inch LCD. This is a stylish point-n-shoot model that can be used easily by anyone...
