Manual of product VPC-GH1EX
Editorial note
The Sanyo VPC-GH1EX is a camcorder that offers an overall positive user experience. With an impressive 50x digital zoom and a 5x optical zoom, it allows for capturing precise details even from a distance. The built-in image stabilizer and night mode also add value, ensuring sharp videos and photos in various lighting conditions. Its lightweight of 155 g makes it easy to carry and handle, making this device practical for outdoor use. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The digital zoom, although impressive, can lead to a degradation of image quality at high zoom levels. Additionally, the internal memory of only 50 MB is insufficient for storing a large amount of content, necessitating the purchase of additional memory cards. The 2.7-inch LCD screen may seem small, making framing shots and viewing details more difficult. Finally, the maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, while adequate, may not satisfy users looking for 4K quality. Regarding performance, the Sanyo VPC-GH1EX scores well, particularly for its satisfactory battery life thanks to its nickel-metal hybrid technology. The modern and lightweight design is also a strong point, although prolonged use may become tiring due to its weight. In terms of value for money, the product is decent, but the limitations in internal memory and video resolution could disappoint some users.Score details
