From around the web
VPC WH1 support SD cart up to 32GB, as it mention on there website. I am using 8GB, and can record 1,5h of HD footage.
This camcorder is intended to be underwater, daylight camera.
Advantages:
It has great flash, but picture quality is very poor, almost like picture quality of some older mobile phone camera. I dont use that option. I mainly bought this one because its waterproof caracteristics, recording during snow, rain. And it do great job.
Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWqSnaxDewI
Disadvantages:
This is jus HR(high resolution), but far, far away from HD camera.
It is terrible in low light, wors then mobile phone camera. Zoom motor is too slow, so much slow, can be even controled correctly. Focus is slow too, so much slow, somethimes it needs 15 seconds to focus something, especialy during zoom. It does not have optical stablization, so, when you zoom, better use tripod or pay attention to you calm hands, and mind.
