Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 camcorder review
By Chris Brennan (pocket-lint.com)
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
Decent video camera with still image capability though it’s much more accomplished at recording moving images
The Sanyo has a flash too cementing its dual camera claim. One of the more interesting features of the Sanyo is built-in video editing capability. It’s a bit limited, but if you wanted to create video on the go it’s actually quite useable. You’re not...

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 review
By Jonathan Parkyn (cnet.co.uk)
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 has the potential to offer a killer combination of camera and camcorder at a budget price, but a range of performance issues and technical limitations mean that it falls some way short of being the ideal dual device
Reasonably priced ; Simple to use ; Small and light
Patchy video performance ; Inaccurate colours ; No HDMI socket
Conclusion The 'dual camera' angle is a tough one to live up to and the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 comes across as something of a compromise on both counts. Its HD video performance, in particular, is disappointing. In its favour, though, the VPC-CG10 is...

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 camcorder
By Gavin Stoker (computeractive.co.uk)
Shoot photos and video with this pistol-grip camera
Eye-catching and generally well-constructed; fast; image quality better than expected; beginner-friendly
Sound of the camera's mechanical operation intrudes into quieter video clips; voice prompts quickly became irritating
Beginners can ease themselves gently into use of the CG10 but the more experienced may be put off by the level of hand holding offered

Sanyo VPC-CG10EBK
By (gadgetheaven.co.uk)
Now are you ready to take pictures to another level? There is no other way than having a dual camera such as Sanyo's VPC-CG10. This little device is called as such because it fuses the functionalities of two gadgets: a camcorder and a camera. In...
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...
Just imagine. Before, you have to save up for two gadgets but today, you can have a video recorder and camera in one. This not only saves you more money but also proves to be incredibly useful.

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 (Black)
By Joshua Goldman (cnet.com)
In an attempt to create a new category of devices, Sanyo dubbed its latest Xacti camcorder models "dual cameras," designed to be equally adept at shooting movies and still photos. With the VPC-CG10, the company certainly got the design and features...
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.
Well, at least not until you're waiting for the thing to focus or you've looked at its photos.
