My Birthday's Just a Couple Months Away
Okay, it's time to get off my high horse and admit to some tech-greed. Sanyo just released this oh-so-cute 640x480@30 fps, 4 megapixal for stills camera. If anyone can read Japanese, please translate this press release and post it here.

Here's one attempt at a translation."Worldwide smallest* 1, digital movie 'of movie hand being off-center revision functional' loading"

In Dave Birthday news, for some reason I now come up first for Google searches for: Dave's birthday

James Talked me into putting up some of the translation, but there's way too much (and most of it isn't interesting) to put up the whole thing.
Product Name: Digital Movie Camera
Model Number: DMX-C4
Colors: Fantasy Gold, Romance Blue, Active Orange
Pet Name (?): Xacti
Recommended Retail Cost: 75,600 Yen after tax (72,000 Yen before) Around $700 USD
Release Date: 9/10/2004
First Production: 15,000 total
1. World's smallest handheld camera that can film digital movies
2. World's first camera that allows you to take 4 megapixel pictures while filming
3. Image quality enhancement function
Beyond these basic specs it looks like the camera records in MPEG4 format to SD cards and would need a pretty hefty SD card in order to any sort of serious recording. A Gig SD card will hold 41 minutes and 23 seconds worth of video at 640x480/30 frames per second/3 MB per second. You can also choose a lower quality with several different increments of degredation down to almost 17 hours of audio-only recording. Most people would probably leave it at the second setting, which is 1 hour at 640x480/30 fps/2 MB per second.
The battery power should last for around 130 pictures, 1 hour of fliming, or 2 hours and 50 minutes of video playback.
The camera outputs in either Composite or S-Video in NTSC or PAL formats with audio in stereo through a USB 2.0 docking station.
I'm pretty sure the screen on it is a color 1.8 cm TFT screen (unless the 1.8 refers to something else).
Unfortunately I can't tell if it has bilingual Menus or not.
There's more, but those are the basic things that most people would want to know when buying a camera. Anything else?
