Reviews of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 (yellow)

The Good: Frequently captures surprisingly high-quality still photos; waterproof.
The Bad: Awkward, frustrating design; slow focus.
The Bottom Line: If underwater YouTubing were a market segment, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 would be the camera to get. But the awkward design and slow performance make it hard to recommend for landlubbers.
