Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:

German site DigitalKamera.de has news of a new Xacti camera from Sanyo - the Sanyo Xacti E6 - a 6 megapixel (CCD) camera with 3x Optical Zoom, a massive 3 inch touch sensitive LCD, 9 point Autofocusing, four flash modes and 16 megabytes of internal memory.
A screen that size (7.32cm for those more used to metric) is bound to get attention and make this a popular model for Sanyo. It also features PictBridge compatability and MPEG4 video.
The Sanyo Xacti E6 should hit stores in Europe in September 2005.

CNET reviews the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E6 and gives it a rating of 5.2 out of 10. They write - 'Sanyo, which produces many of the snapshot digital cameras you see marketed under other brand names, is stepping up its efforts to gain some brand recognition of its own. Given that the company's name is hardly synonymous with high quality, we started off with low expectations for the company's Xacti VPC-E6, a 6-megapixel, 3X-zoom ultracompact. We were pleasantly surprised to find it a decent--albeit a little pricey--snapshot camera with an eye-catching 3-inch LCD, a graphical user interface, and reasonable image quality. Only the performance disappointed.'
PC Mag reviews the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E6U and gives it a rating of 2.5 out of 5. They write - 'The Sanyo Xacti VPC-E6U ($399.99 list) has fairly standard image-capture elements for an ultracompact: A 6-megapixel sensor and a 3X optical zoom with a 6.3mm-to-18.9mm range (a 35mm equivalent of 38mm to 114mm) and corresponding maximum f-stops of f/3.3 to f/4.0. It does have a sleek exterior and sweet 3-inch LCD screen, but here's the feature that distinguishes the camera from all others we've seen to date: It talks. The pleasant female voice, along with other odd features, gives it a quirky vibe. Unfortunately, this shooter just doesn't perform as well as its main rivals, the Kodak EasyShare-One and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1.'
Lets Go Digital reviews the Sanyo Xacti E6 Digital Camera where they recommend - 'The new Xacti E6 is a fine camera, offering enhanced user's convenience for its money. It features good image quality, a strong friendly operation and it is ease to carry around with you thanks to the compact size. The innovative features of the Sanyo Xacti E6 are mainly responsible for taking the camera on a higher level than its competitors. Users can fully enjoy the large sized monitor. And if Sanyo decides to apply the large monitor and the Touch sensor on an advanced digital camera, taking into account the demanding photographer, a strong concept can be set down; one that can easily compete with high quality digital cameras. The Sanyo E6 isn't perfect but clearly and undoubtedly we are dealing with a very strong concept here. The camera is perfectly suitable for the snapshot photographer and this target group will effortlessly be convinced by the Sanyo Xacti E6 digital camera. '
