Manual of product X1200
Editorial note
The Sanyo X1200 stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 12.1 MP CCD sensor, which allows for capturing precise details and true-to-life colors. Its built-in image stabilizer is a major asset, ensuring sharp photos and videos even in motion. Additionally, the numerous scene modes offered facilitate creativity by adapting to different shooting environments. However, the device has some limitations. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, which may disappoint users looking for superior video quality. Furthermore, the battery life, which allows for approximately 220 shots, may prove insufficient for extended sessions without recharging. The optical zoom limited to 3x may also not satisfy those wishing to capture distant details. Finally, the internal memory of 52 MB is quite limited, necessitating the use of external memory cards for additional storage. In terms of design, the Sanyo X1200 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry, ideal for travel. However, the lack of compatibility with Mac systems could restrict its use for some users. Overall, despite a few drawbacks, the Sanyo X1200 offers good value for money and remains an interesting option for those seeking a compact camera with good image performance.Score details
