Sanyo Xacti HD2 Camcorder Review
I just received this device yesterday. I got to play with for about an
hour so far. So, this review is going to be "first impressions" or
"initial quality" review.
Quality, packaging, instruction manuals, and supplied accessories all
look good quality.
I couldn't find an SD card in the packaging. I did have a 2GB memory
card with me, so I was OK.
I could put in the battery, charge the device, take a couple of
pictures, and a couple of videos without even reading the quick
reference manual. I would call that intuitive enough and user
friendly.
Quality of the pictures and video is acceptable considering that I
used the device straight out of the box without adjusting any
settings. Actually pictures and video looked much better on my home
LCD monitor, but looked pathetic on my work CRT monitor. (This is not
the first time I have experienced this.)
I have played the video on a 61" widescreen HD TV using S-Video cable
and the quality was acceptable. Nothing compared to off-the-air HD
programming, but it was not bad at all.
I have placed a couple of pictures and videos at this URL:

I will come back here and update the review over the next week.
