February 22nd, 2010 – The digital recorder market is pretty saturated right now. From super high-end down to the lower end of the spectrum, it’s hard to stand out. So how did Sanyo attempt to break from the tried and true stereo microphone pair? They added 4 more mics bringing the total to 6.
The Xacti feature the traditional X-Y pair, an omnidirectional pair, and two other directional mics that are meant to capture sound above 20 kHz. Odd that they’re made for frequencies above the normal adult human hearing, but maybe it’s supposed to give you more options for post -processing your sound clips later.
It records at 24-bit 96 kHz and comes with 4gigs of internal memory and can be expanded with extra micro SD cards. No word on price yet, but it’d make a fine addition to your DSLR video rig.
