Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 camcorder
The CG10 from Sanyo is a 10-megapixel camera and HD capable camcorder rolled into one. Its 1280 x 720 resolution should be more than good enough for the enthusiastic amateur. The zoom lens is limited to a 5x optic, however the 3-inch LCD screen is...
Small, good video quality
Design not for everyone, average stills
For a quick point-and-shoot video camera the Sanyo CG10 is a nifty little camera. The styling might not suit and not being able to stand the camera up without a tripod is a pain, but overall the end results are good.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 review
The creamy white and black incarnation of the latest high definition Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 model remains desirably attractive and portable too at a weight of 188g with rechargeable lithium-ion battery and card inserted.
The attractively styled Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 with its uniquely comfortable gun grip is both fun and simple to use. It produced decent stills and offers a good video resolution, though not at full HD. The generous onboard memory makes it good value, but...

Sanyo Camcorder/Camera : Sanyo Xacti CG10 Camcorder/Camera
While most recent camcorders can take still images and almost all digital cameras have a movie mode this offering from Sanyo really does combine the two items in one casing, so is the camcorder/camera the way to go.
Open the display (this can be rotated through 270degrees) and that finds the on/off button. The display is 6.7x3.8cm which corresponds to 3inches diagonal measurement

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
Although the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 digital camera and camcorder hybrid range has long dared to be different with its pistol grip styling and upright shooting, in present company it's almost conventional.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
Slimline pistol grip Sanyo camcorder with a 10-megapixel stills mode and 720p video recording
Good cost/performance ratio, 10-megapixel stills mode, small and stylish
5x optical zoom, sub-par low-light performance, pistol grip isn't for everybody
If you're a fan of pistol grip camcorders, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 is one of the best-value HD options on the market. It's compact, stylish and capable of taking some impressive video and photos.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 review: Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
Very good 720p HD video for its class; 5x optical zoom; nice LCD; full featured for an inexpensive minicamcorder.
Component cable not included; slow AF, still-camera performance; poor photo quality; pistol grip not for everyone.
Sanyo's dual-camera Xacti VPC-CG10 has the design and features to easily shoot both HD-quality movies and 10-megapixel photos, but slow performance and mediocre photos keep it from being a solid do-it-all device.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
Includes flash for stills ; Highly configurable for a pocket camcorder ; Takes still pictures ; Removable media
Video is over-saturated ; HD cable not included ; Getting the best video requires playing with manual settings and even then results may be no better than a competing one-button pocket camcorder

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10EXBK HD Dual Camera
Sanyo's entry-level portable camcorder is very portable indeed, but suffers with some design and implementation flaws.
Extremely compact ; Decent quality stills
Slow capture times ; Sits poorly on small tripods ; Average video quality
The VPC-CG10EXBK delivers a product that's not exceptional value per se, but it's equally not horribly flawed for what Sanyo's asking for it. For those who just want tiny snapshot video in a unit that's very easy to carry around it could be a good buy.
