The worst part about camcorders is that they easily break and they’re obtrusive. Men don’t mind taking videos, but they certainly do mind an excessive number of gadgets in their person and worse yet, obtrusive ones. The Sanyo Xacti is here to remedy that problem.

It’s the first consumer waterproof camcorder and is spec’d out surprisingly well:

• 90 minutes-per-gigabyte SD recording
• 6.0 megapixel digital still images
• 5x optical zoom
• 2.5-inch LCD
• Up to 12 hours of recording with an 8GB SDHC card
• Can be submerged in water down to five feet for as long as 30 minutes

What this means to you: Chronicle your lifestyle, and don’t worry about your camera keeping up with you or weighing you down.
