Sanyo's Xacti HD1000 was one of the first compact cameras to shoot high-definition video. The latest in the line, the HD1010, includes a slow-motion mode and a slick face-tracking feature. The $799 camera, due next month, weighs 9 ounces and is a little bit bigger than a cell phone. It has a 2.7-inch display and a 10x optical zoom lens, and it can record video directly to an SD or SDHC memory card -- up to 87 minutes of video on a single 8-gigabyte card.

When it is not in use, the PhotoPhone operates like a standard digital photo frame, displaying a slide show of all the available photographs. When a call comes in, the phone displays both the number and the photo you have associated with that number.
