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.

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

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.

Very good 720p HD video for its class; 5x optical zoom; nice LCD; full featured for an inexpensive minicamcorder.

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.

Overall, one can see that the Sanyo VPC-CG10EBK pretty much covers the basics. It has everything that a person may need in taking photos and videos and the best part is that they come in one gadget. So if your looking for a camera that also combines...

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

The $200 Xacti is a pistol-grip style camcorder that comes in black or pink. With its flip-out 3-inch LCD, extensive system of menus, 5x optical zoom, electronic image stabilization, ability to shoot 10 megapixel stills (with flash, if desired), and...
