With digital cameras and high-definition televisions taking over the universe, electronics company Sanyo just had to keep up with the Joneses. So check out my definition of one hell of a way to keep up: the 9.1-megapixel DMX-CG9 Xacti Digital Movie Camera.

The camera is just small enough to fit in your bag (perfect for party videos), comes in four colors (the missing one above is pink), and takes both still images and video footage. What’s more, this teeny little piece of machinery also takes high-resolution photos and has a longer recording time than most teeny handycams. The Xacti has a 12x zoom, which means you can take secret blackmail videos from a pretty great distance away, and the Super Macro setting allows you to capture from as little as 1cm away without blurriness. It’ll be available on April 18, so start saving.

Know of a high-definition video camera better or more convenient than this one? Post your comments and prove me wrong!
