Introducing the Sanyo Xacti VPC CG20

Dual Camera Xacti Lets You Shoot Both Photos and Videos Without Switching Modes

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.

Ergonomic Design is Compact and Palm-Fitting

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.

38 mm Wide-Angle Lens and 5x Optical Zoom in Full HD

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.

High-Quality Full HD for More Beautiful Images and Smoother Motion

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.

285 degrees Rotating, 2.7 –Inch Wide-Screen LCD

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.

Digital Image Stabiliser

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.

High Speed Processor and CMOS Sensor

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. 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.

High-Sensitivity Photos at ISO1600

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.

Super Macro Shooting

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.

Face Chaser

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.

Easy Editing

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great buy!, 19 Sep 2010
By 
Thunderbird "PR" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sanyo VPC-CG20EXP-B Xacti CG20 Full HD Dual Camcorder with 10M Photos and HDMI - Pink (Electronics)
After much research into digital camcorders for less than 150 quid, I decided that I would buy the one with an Optical Zoom, but something that is less bulky than traditional camcorders. I've had a Sony over the last 6 years, which is a brick compared to this one.

I had high expectations and the camera didn't disappoint me.

Pros:
+ Very simple to use and operate
+ Video quality in 720p+60fps is remarkable without any glitch. The FullHD is also good, but I haven't tried 1080p in different lighting conditions.
+ Zoom works well during video and autofocus was quite quick.
+ Picture quality is as good, if not better than, any standard small still camera.
+ Light in weight and good to hold

Cons:
- Body is made of plastic and can be prone to fingermarks and scratches. Do take care.
- The lens cap is sturdy, but poor design in the mechanism to get it on and off the lens.

Others:
The package comes with no-frills. That's just a few booklets. There are no bundled software or CDs, commercial material, brochures for accessories etc. The software to be downloaded from the Internet too is bare minimum. The Youtube upload tool works quite easily; you wouldn't believe, if I said, that the window was smaller than the one that you use to choose fonts! And, has probably 4 or 5 functional buttons - that's it! So there are no premium software bundle to allow you to edit Photos or Videos - which I have no gripe for - Picasa should do!

Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera, 11 Oct 2010
This review is from: Sanyo VPC-CG20EXP-B Xacti CG20 Full HD Dual Camcorder with 10M Photos and HDMI - Pink (Electronics)
I bought this camera for a birthday, I am very impressed with this camera. The only thing I would comment on is that you need to buy a memory card to take the video side of it. We bought one that was £16.00. Now it is fully capable of taking 200 + photos (which it could before) and also loads of video (which it couldn't before). Cannot fault it.

4.0 out of 5 stars good little camera, 14 Feb 2011
This review is from: Sanyo VPC-CG20EXP-B Xacti CG20 Full HD Dual Camcorder with 10M Photos and HDMI - Pink (Electronics)
A good little camera. Beware that the product only comes with a two pin battery charger. I had to go out an but a travel plug for the UK.
It does not come with a case of a memory card so you will need to buy these additionally.
Apart from that I was happy with my new camera. Looking forward to capturing all my special memories.
