The ultra-compact Sanyo Xacti camcorder makes it easy to capture HD video. Equipped with all the essential features the promising videographer would need, including a 30x optical zoom lens that brings you closer to the action.
Waterproof up to a depth of 3metres, so definitely better than the cameras you can rent (if you go diving a lot). BigPond is claiming a saving of almost $400, and it looks pretty cool too.
lol - OP FAIL.
and not sure this is a camera you can trust to diving either.
3 metres is what I'd only call "splashproof"
And if Crazy Sales are too crazy for you:

As above.
Looks like a pretty cool camera for the price. Pity about the 2 megapixel camera.. would be nice to see 4+ MP.
As above, cheaper at CrazySales, DWI (whom I've used, and have excellent service) and a half dozen others.
Not a bargain.
BTW, I used DWI to get the Xacti CA9, which is a great camera and happily survived going down 'rapids' in Bali while around my wrist, constantly banging against the oar and even surviving me getting thrown from the raft.
tantryl, is there any image stabilization on the Xacti CA9?
I am guessing you are happy with the picture quality as well.
image stabilizer is digital not optical according to link above.
For both video and photo, yes there's digital image stabilization.
I'm quite happy with the quality. I don't have videophile or audiophile standards though.
post may not be a deal, but glad you did, thank you…
looking 4 1 of these and now got a better price due to other links from members - nice work team:}
