Pocket sized dynamo: Sanyo VPC-C4
The Sanyo VPC-C4 is basically for taking large prints and VGA (640x480) video clips. Very much like a cell phone in appearance, it contains a 4.23-megapixel sensor, a rotating LCD screen (280 degrees), and a 5.8x optical zoom. It weighs fairly heavy at 179g in spite of its decent size (69mm wide, 109mm high and 33mm deep).
A weird lens angle tilting in the upward direction is a unique feature. The controls are grouped around the upper-back part except for the power switch which is under the LCD screen. Separate buttons exist for photo and video captures.
A single exposure-metering mode with a multispot approach merges readings from different portions of the frame. Besides a fully automatic mode, there are various scene selection options for sports, portrait, landscape etc but VPC-C4 is devoid of red-eye reduction.
An in-built digital image stabiliser helps it withstands irritating camera shakes.
The f/3.5-to-f/3.7 lens has a 35mm-equivalent focal-length range of 38mm to 220mm zoom.
The photo-resolution option comprises an 8-megapixel setting and the camera also gives users the pleasure of taking full-resolution stills and video clips together.
Containing a SD/MMC card with a 256MB capacity, it’s priced at £300

Very good for MPEG video
I found this camera ok for taking stills but for recording video it's very good. Sure it has its faults like indoor shooting requires enough lighting else the results don't turn out good. The other good thing about it is - it can really take the shakes.

grandad loves it cos of the image stabliser
It looks cool and the bestest part is grandad can use it too. I only explaind the controls to him once. Since then he wants to take pics with the sanyo vpc-c4 all the time. His hand trembles but it never shows in the pictures or video. The stabliser does work
