High Performance, 7.38-Megapixel CCD With its 1/2.5-inch, 7.38-megapixel (total) CCD, the Xacti HD2 lets you take beautiful 7.1-megapixel still images with vivid, true-to-life color and extraordinary detail. Switch to 16:9 wide-aspect ratio, and it can capture 5.3-megapixel (3072 x 1728) stills.
Real Time Interpolation for 10 Megapixel Recording SANYO's original algorithm uses a pixel-interpolation filter to convert the CCD's 7.1 effective megapixels to the recorded equivalent of 10 megapixels. This filter enables fine-grained A3-sized printouts of detailed images. You can even enlarge part of an image without sacrificing image fidelity.
High-Sensitivity ISO 1600 Stills - Beautiful Images, Even in the Dark Thanks to its advanced 4-pixel mixture technology, the Xacti HD2 can capture increased levels of detail in still images taken at ISO 1600. Now you can capture sharper and more accurate still images, even under the kind of low lighting conditions that occur during an indoor party or outdoors at night.
High-Definition Still and Movie Images captured simultaneously In the middle of shooting an HD (1280 x 720-pixel) movie, a simple press of the shutter button lets you record a 7.1-megapixel still image at the same time. Alternatively, you can simultaneously capture a wide-angle, high-definition, 5.3-megapixel still image (3072 x 1728 pixels).
	Stunning Images on a High-Definition TV - 16:9 Compatibility Using the 16:9 wide-picture mode ([5.3M] mode: 3072 x 1728 pixels), you can enjoy superb panoramic images on a wide-screen, high-definition TV.
