This review is from: Sanyo Xacti VPCHD2EX 7.1MP MPEG4 High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I made a grainy video of an apple core turning brown with mine ... while on hold.
.
Don't take my word for it, perform your own test.
1) call Sanyo customer support on speakerphone: 1-800-421-6382
2) eat an apple
3) soak the core in lemon juice which greatly slows oxidation (browning)
4) allow the core to turn brown (if the call is dumped redial)
.
Notes:
a) your phone should be plugged in as the battery will otherwise die
b) you should use streaming video to prevent multiple video segments when the sd card fills
c) there should be an analog clock in the background for full effect. This is why it is important to soak the apple core in lemon juice. Without it less time will elapse on the clock before the core turns brown making your extraordinary hold time video less extraordinary.
