The Xacti CG20 features standalone shutter buttons that let you start shooting a photo or a video with a single thumb press. There's no need to press a separate mode switch, and you can even shoot photos and videos simultaneously. Note 1: Photos are recorded at a resolution of 2.0 M in Full HD and Full SHQ mode, 0.9 M in HD-HR and HD-SHQ mode, and 0.3 M in TV-SHQ mode.
The Xacti CG20 further refines SANYO's ergonomic Xacti blueprint, with a design that prevents muscle fatigue and maintains a horizontal lens orientation even when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Furthermore, the monitor can be rotated approximately 285 degrees, enabling you to shoot effortlessly at virtually any angle.
Despite its compact body, the Xacti CG20 lets you shoot Full HD video clips with clear and smooth motion. What's more, it features a 38 mm wide-angle lens that lets you capture beautiful images over a wider area. The wide-angle lens is complemented by 5x optical zoom. Now you can shoot wider angles and capture more distant subjects-all in Full HD quality.
Although it boasts a very compact form factor, the Xacti CG20 can record Full HD videos at 1920 x 1080 resolution, along with genuine high-resolution photos. SANYO developed a new proprietary high-speed image-processing engine to deliver high image quality in a compact package. The engine is designed to reduce power consumption and provide optimal operation in conjunction with the CMOS image sensor. What's more, the CG20 employs a newly developed 5x optical zoom function for video shooting. This further expands the shooting area for all situations from wide to telephoto.
Brightness on the Xacti CG20's wide-screen LCD monitor can be adjusted to any of seven levels. Also, the monitor can rotate through approximately 285 degrees, so you can easily position it at your preferred angle. This lets you keep your subject clearly in view, whether you’re shooting high, low, or at yourself and your kids.
For beautiful high-definition video recording, the Xacti CG20 reduces the effect of camera shake that typically occurs when you zoom in on a subject. SANYO's original digital image stabiliser is capable of automatically distinguishing between unintended camera shaking and deliberate pans and tilts.

The engine is designed to reduce power consumption and provide optimal operation in conjunction with the CMOS image sensor. Meanwhile, 3D digital noise reduction technology reduces random noise by adding motion judgment to the noise-reduction process. The CG20 also delivers improvements in compression efficiency and bit-rate allocation, resulting in a highly accurate video image. As it employs the advanced MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression format, the CG20 lets you easily save and play back video images on a PC.
At the highest sensitivity of ISO 1600, the Xacti CG20 can capture the natural colors of faces and indoor scenes at night, as well as evening scenes where you don’t want to use a flash.
The ability to shoot from as close as 1 cm makes the Xacti CG20 a convenient way to photograph accessories and items for online auctions. Now you can take clear, highly detailed close-up shots.
The Xacti CG20 is able to detect your subjects' faces instantly. Even if the faces move, the CG20 can follow them and adjust the focus and exposure. The Face Chaser function has been developed so that it can even follow faces from a side-on angle. Note: Face detection functionality depends on the subject and shooting conditions.
The Xacti CG20 offers the convenience of editing Full HD videos on the camera itself. You can easily splice multiple clips into a single video, or cut unwanted footage. This feature is particularly useful when it comes to viewing slideshows and using your SD memory card capacity more effectively. Note: If there is insufficient free space on the SD memory card, you may be unable to perform editing functions.

DONT CONSIDER ANYTHING ELSE!,

This review is from: Sanyo VPC-CG20EXBK-B Xacti CG20 Full HD Dual Camcorder with 10MP Photos and HDMI - Black (Electronics)
Only 1 review for this cant belive that. This can only be 5 star. i have bought so many cam corders Cannon standard def which cost £300 together with 4 others, aiptekx2 Flip Ultra HD and a budget one from Aldi. This knocks the socks off the lot. Forget the Flip range. Honest, Complete waste and really do not know where the hype comes from. The Xacti video is crisp colourfull and unlike many others completely judder free 60fps. Focusing is quick, so easy to use one button for vid one for stills. Stills quality again is stunning. The camera is not just a little add on it is fully functional 12mp not 10 as advertised. You can also take a still while taking a video or even better take a still from a video clip no loss of quality. You can also edit the vid cut/join without the need for a PC. Just copied pics and vids to PS3 and it plays the video files as well. Battery life is great (not poor a prev review) charges in less than 2 hours and Amazon sell spares for £6. I have at last found what I consider to be the best camera under £300. Yes you don't get a case, lead, card but hey ho I am reviewing the camera. Careful the gloss plastic body does scratch. Just Buy it then just post a review to thank me!!

Super Bargain - Sanyo Xacti HD dual camcorder VPC-CG20EXBK,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
After just over a week of use feeling very happy with this ultra-compact video recorder/camera. Extremely comfortable and light to hold, easy to use (press one button to video or the other to take a picture), both HD video and picture quality good (using Class 6+ SDHC - as recommended by Sanyo for HD) and transferring to laptop is a doddle. The price of this from Amazon is excellent at the moment - I checked the price today online and found a well known shopping channel selling this model not far off two hundred pounds inc pp - so a true bargain.

OMG!,

This review is from: Sanyo VPC-CG20EXBK-B Xacti CG20 Full HD Dual Camcorder with 10MP Photos and HDMI - Black (Electronics)
OMG. I got this very last min to take on holiday for my best friends wedding. For the price this is the best purchase i have made in a long time.
The quality of the video is outstanding for such a small device. All the reviews i had read before only really touched on the video and they were all spot on. The thing that the reviews didnt mention was the amazing quality of the pictures. This device is my new best friend. I have taken stills whilst moving fast in a car and zoomed in all the way the the picture was perfect. The last thing i must say is that you NEED to buy an SD card with it, as it has almost no memory. I would recommend a 32gb card as when recording in HD it takes up a lot of space, but sooooo worth it. The delivery was also fantastic, got it within 5/6 days. All i need to say now is BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!
