Not much to get excited about here unless you’ve got a thing for shooting 640 x 480 VGA video underwater. Shipping in May for a bit less than $500, Sanyo’s latest waterproof Xacti packs a 5x optical zoom and 8 megapixel CMOS sensor for stills and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video recordings at 60fps to SDHC media.
