Sanyo
Sanyo has never had a large presence in North America, but remains a popular camcorder brand in Japan and elsewhere. In recent years, the company has released a handful of higher-end camcorders that offered solid performance and a substantial degree of user control. Focusing on upright designs, rather than a traditional, horizontal camcorder body, Sanyo camcorders tend to emphasize their abilities as still camera/camcoder hybrid devices. The company also offers underwater models.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000
£289.99
Sanyo managed a minor miracle with the Xacti VPC-HD2000. Although the company isn't generally considered to be a top-tier manufacturer, the HD2000 held its ground in our performance tests against models from competing companies like Sony, Canon, and Panasonic.
