Sanyo just announced its next Xacti series, the DMX-CA8. This waterproof camera sports 8MP sensor and equipped with ‘Face Chaser’ function both for movie and photos. As mentioned on the press release, this movie camera will be available in Japan starting next month.

In his presentation at the launch, Hideki Toyoda, General Manager of the SANYO’s DI Company Products Planning Department, said, “Last year, SANYO brought a digital movie camera to the market that was waterproof and changed the way that people use digital movie cameras. This year, we are pleased to introduce the next in the line-up, a continuation of both the waterproof and film anywhere concept, freeing people to choose where to use their camera instead of allowing the use or place to choose the camera for them. Anyone with an active lifestyle, including sports enthusiasts, outdoorsmen, or mothers will surely enjoy this camera.
