My wonderful girlfriend, Donna, bought this as an early birthday present for me. She's so rad. I can't wait to try this VPC-CS1 out and start creating some interesting content for the blog Donna and I will be running together about our travels and experiences in Australia.
What initially turned me onto the CS1 was a review on the GizWiz episode 1042 via the TWiT Netcast Network (I love TWiT!). I started Googling for all of the CS1 info I could find and found a great little review by RGS (Random-Good-Stuff.com). After that, all I could think of was having this bad boy camcorder for my own use! Donna and I even managed to get Sean Ward of SeanWard.net and SeanWardSuperParty.com excited (twitterpated) about the VPC-CS1, enough to blog about it!
After calling Sanyo Canada, Henry's, and BestBuy Canada all I was able to find out was that the VPC-CS1 would be in Canada, maybe, sometime in April. This was unacceptable! I wanted the cam in time before Donna and I were to leave for Brisbane, Australia (April 2nd). I WANTED IT NOW!
I'd had given up all hope of getting the Xacti CS1 before April 2nd until I wandered into a Black's photography store by my work.

I noticed this store had quite a selection of Sanyo Xacti camcorders and enquired about the CS1 (which was of course absent from the displays). The man there was incredibly helpful! He said it would be very unlikely that Blacks could get a CS1 to me in 7 days, but I could check out a photo and video site called B & H. When I got back to work and took a look on the B & H site, lo and behold the CS1 was in stock! And available to ship to Canada via UPS/FedEx in 1 - 2 business days!
Donna and I ordered the cam last night and anxiously await it's arrival :)
Do you have a blog? Do you shoot video and images? What camera do you use? Are you thinking of getting a new one?
Let me know what's up!
