The Sanyo VPC-E6 is a small, well finished ultra compact 6 megapixel digital camera. With it's large 3" high resolution screen, excellent video recording capability and very sharp photography mode this may be the sleeper of the year. Yes, you can use the optical zoom while recording excellent high resolution (640x480 @30 fps) videos in QuickTime format. The light sound of the zoom motor if used does transfer to the recording though.
This is a speedy little camera. Startup is nearly instantaneous and reviewing the photos or scrolling through the well designed menu is very fast as well. The speed compares well with Canon SD series cameras. Another nice feature is that teh camera may be used as a webcam and SD card reader as well. Upon plugging in teh USB cable the user is asked for the feature to activate. Using it asa webcam requires a small tripod because the usb plug is on the bottom of the camera hence making positioning very difficult when plugged in. The card reader function is well done, one can transfer files to the SD card in the camera not just from the camera to the PC.
The photos turn out real sharp results though tend to underexpose darker shots. Luckily, the exposure can be set by toggling hte multi-way controller. Very simple and fast adjustments are always at hand. The flash is adequate for fill lighting or indoor photography of a group of people. Red eye is more common than on my Canon but simply toggling the flash to red-eye mode alleviates that issue. Macro photography is perhaps the best I have seen. I was routinely able to capture well focused close-ups just inches away from the lens. The flash cuts back on it's output to avoid over lighting the subject. One issue I have had is the screen resolution when using it in dimly lit environments. It tends to be grainy and lacking in detail but as soon as the subject is focused the display is clear as day. Working with it outside in the sun is where it looks it's best.
Overall I rate this camera right up there with the big boys from Canon, Casio or Sony. If you are looking for stylish camera that has a 3" screen, take a look at the Sanyo E6.

I gave this camera to my daughter and she carries it everywhere she goes. She gives demontrations on how close she can get to an object and how clear the details are on the big screen. It is truly amazing. This camera is very hard to find because it sells out so quickly it is always on a waiting list. I was able to find one more for my other child and I want one for myself. If you see it buy it don't wait.
