Capturing high definition video in the palm of your hand is about to get easier if Sanyo's DMX-HD800 can live up to its billing. The 8MP compact camera will come in gold, pink, and black and be capable of recording video in 720p (1280x720) using the AVC/H.264 video codec. Features include:

• Drag and drop capable
• HD videos and still pictures
• Snap photos while filming without pausing the video
• Face recognition (up to 12 faces)
• Digital image stabilizer
• In-camera video editing
