Sanyo Xacti DMX-CG100 and Xacti DMX-GH1 dual cameras

Sanyo announced two new “dual cameras” (camcorder and digital camera in one) for the Japanese market yesterday, the Xacti DMX-CG100 (that’s the pistol-grip model) and the Xacti DMX-GH1. Both feature an extra-compact body and the ability to record video in full HD and take 14MP pictures.

Both also come with Sanyo’s proprietary “Double Range Zoom” function, which allows users to instantly switch between “Wide Mode” (40 mm to 240 mm) and “Tele Mode” (80 mm to 480 mm) with the push of a button
The two cameras are equipped with a 2.7-inch TFT LCD, a 1/2.33 inch CMOS sensor, 5x optical zoom, SD/SDHC card support (up to 32GB), SDXC card support (up to 64GB), 50MB of internal memory, USB 2.0/mini HDMI ports, and Eye-Fi support.
