Its video quality is average, but the same may not be true about the still pics; they are lousy, and will not replace your point and shoot camera. When you compare its results with proper digital cameras, its outcome are not up to the mark. Still photo quality is equivalent to photos taken on iPhones.
Its buttons feel wobbly and a little strange. The reason for this may be its waterproof body. Functionality wise the buttons are good. Its body, made up of plastic, is scratchproof. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA9 EX is sturdy and firm, too. It has 5x optical zoom, which is more than sufficient on mostly all occasions. The digital zoom is not very good.

You can capture full motion video up to 8 hours on a standard SD card and up to 10 hours on an 8GB SDHC memory card. However, it lacks internal memory. It is capable of capturing still images while shooting video. It has a 3D DNR noise-reduction system that renders clearer videos. It has high-speed sequential shooting, too.
