The Sanyo Xacti CA8 (DMX-CA8) is a compact, waterproof digital camera known for its unique vertical design and "go-anywhere" capability, recording standard-definition VGA video and 8MP photos while being submersible up to 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) for an hour, ideal for outdoor water activities with features like 5x optical zoom, face detection, and electronic image stabilization, though it offers VGA video quality rather than HD.
