Sanyo Xacti HD2 Camcorder Review
I just received this device yesterday. I got to play with for about an
hour so far. So, this review is going to be "first impressions" or

Thanks,

Any comments on tokina lens ? Overall quality etc...

Haven't been around for a while.  Have read reviews on  dpreviews, but
wanted to see what you guys had to say.  Right now I have the Canon S3 and I
guess I'm happy with it. Not really a newbie, I've experimented in all modes
and feel the quality isn't as good as my old Olympus 5050. ...

I've now had two multi-card readers.  I have trouble getting XP to
recognize cards placed in the readers.
I have three kinds of card and the experience is different for each.
The SD cards are almost always recognized quickly.

Any recommendations?
