With all this talk about lightweight video cameras, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Sanyo has updated its lightweight Xacti line. The HD1010 records in 1080i HD and offers 300 frame-per-second slow motion recording along with 12-subject face recognition. Sure it will cost $799.99 in July, but just think of the elevator pitches Erick could record. Quick tip: Lay off the pancake make-up and get some botox, entrepreneurs, because we’re all going to look ugly in 1920 x 1080 pixels. Read more about the camera on CrunchGear.

Did I miss something? When did crunchgear come and merge into techcrunch?

Does it have external microphone support? That is THE one feature missing from most of these cameras. Without it sound almost always sucks.
Wait a minute… you’re using Techcrunch’s frontpage to get Micheal to buy Erick this camera?
Ok, we get it already, you want more people to read CrunchGear.

It’s remiss not amiss, no?
what is this buffalo doing in the herd of cows?
It only has a headphone jack, sadly.
I for one like seeing crunch gear reviews when news is stagnant. Please it’s a good way to get some crossover action.
Michael,
Can you post those talking points you were given? I’d love to see how close they are to the WSJ article you linked to!
(whoops, I meant John)!
In my own personal opinion TechCrunch is changing strategy.
wow, don’t pull that thing out to film the cops – they’ll think it’s a gun and shoot you in the buttocks!
Seems like John doesn’t realize what he writes and has never even used the camera.
“— Compatible with a variety of optional accessories using cold shoe
mount, such as external strobe, video light, microphone, etc.”

Really, no mic in? The 720p version has mic in. Grr. Guess I won’t be upgrading then.
@17 – Compatible with a variety of optional accessories using cold shoe
mount, such as external strobe, video light, microphone, etc.” techie found the shoe mount mention. I was talking about a direct mic in without optional junk.
Just what we need. Slo-mo of Arrington’s lips moving.
