Well, I was right that Sanyo was ripe for acquisition, but I didn’t expect that Panasonic would be the ones to do it. It seems like Panasonic is more interested in the “heavy industries” parts of Sanyo – making batteries, solar panels, etc.

Here’s hoping the Xacit line doesn’t get buried – the Panasonic SD9 is right at the top of my list of least favorite consumer HD cameras.
