Sanyo Xacti CA6 Camcorder I Don't Like It

Further to my Sanyo VPC-CA6 Camcorder review, this is another rant about this hybrid recording device.

I hadn't used this Sanyo Camcorder in a longer time, opting to use my Sony instead, but today my son had a little presentation at school, and I wanted to use this smaller camcorder so that I could be a little discreet.

On powering up the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA6, I got a low battery warning message, and immediately I thought not now, as I can't even power the camcorder from the charger!

I know the Sanyo Xacti CA6 is weatherproof, but I would rather have a camcorder that is more versatile, can be mounted on a tripod, has a viewfinder Lcd monitor that allows me to record myself. None of these features are avaiable on the Sanyo VPC CA6!

I'm not sure if I'd buy another Sanyo hybrid camcorder again, I miss my Sanyo Xacti C40. This gadget has now been replaced by a Hitachi SD card HD pocket camcorder.
