 good for only 1 month Sep 08, 2010
when i bought this camera i liked it,over ok picture quality even in dark, small, hd, 10 mp camera i used and iwas thinking giving 5 star for this camera. Then i stopped using it for a while. everything was fine until i wanna take couple more pics after 3 mos. It totally stopped working and I looked for customer support phone # about 2 hrs finally i got it and after holding 10 minutes i talked to agent n she was acting she didnt wanna talk to me and said after 3 mos there is warranty only on the parts n i still have to pay labor which was more than camera cost.
So, If u r lucky on what u buy from sanyo and works fine sanyo would be ur brand. In my case i wont ever buy sanyo again.
Excellent for the price... Aug 19, 2010
Great camcorder for the price, lots of fun and great moments with the family. As far as for picture taking, I'd give it a C+ even though its a 10mp. All in all, my short experience with this is a very positive one, with a nice smooth transition from miniDV to Flash Card/HD. I Highly recommend this camcorder for someone not wanting to pay a lot of money for a high quality portable camcorder and see this unit very comparable to any camcorder in the price range of $200 to $500 dollar range, truly a steal at $130 and a pleasant way to transition.

 Not thrilled, but at this price not unhappy Aug 01, 2010
Right now the price has been discounted by sixty bucks so the price can't be beat for a hd, pocket camcorder with a 5x zoom.
The picture quality is OK, even indoors, but you have to hold the camera very very steady. The image stabilization does nothing, as far as I can tell. It seems odd that you need a tripod to get steady shots on a camera this light, and so obviously designed for portability.
The camera seems quite flimsy, especially the battery and flash card covers.
Focus is very slow, so anything that is moving is going to be a little blurry until it stops moving, even if the camera itself is totally still.
Despite the relatively low quality, the camera is light weight, easy to use, easy to pocket and carry around, is light enough to be used with the original gorillapod and has plenty of manual settings to help you get the most of it.
I can't recommend it, but it's probably not a terrible purchase for the money.
Update: Just used the camera at the beach, so light was super. The picture quality was very good, color balance was good too. I used the snow & beach scene select. But jitter is still pretty bad. The stabilizer is worthless. You have to hold this camera steady.
Update2: There is no "pause" feature when recording video. You can turn off the recording and then start another recording, which creates multiple files, but you can't pause in the middle of recording and then resume it. For all I know this is common with other pocket camcorders, but it seems odd.
Update3: I used the camcorder to record a school play. This is a challenge for just about any camcorder - recording while sitting back in a dark theater, zoomed in on a brightly lit stage. The CG10 didn't do a phenomenal job, but it also wasn't too bad. Again, anything that moved was blurry. Wide angle resulted in very high contrast, where the theater lights whited out most of the detail. But zooming in, using a tripod, worked well. Features were clear and the color balance was tolerable. The 5x zoom makes a big difference. I can't imagine that the flip, with no zoom, would have recorded anything watchable. BTW the CG10 has a manual focus option that lets you set it to infinity, essentially creating a fixed focus. That worked out well as I'm sure autofocus would have had trouble with the harsh lighting and high zoom.

Awesome picture, slow focus. Jul 27, 2010
For the money nothing I have seen comes close. Video is awesome, but focus is slow. Still picture quality is acceptable but not on par with my dedicated still cameras. Slow focus aside, the video is beautiful. Camera is easy to use. Well worth the money.

 The Little Camcorder that could. Jul 21, 2010
I needed a camcorder for training purposes. Record, Review, Record again, etc. Didn't have the budget for a mid-price cam and looked at Flip & Kodak models but decided I wanted more. Many members of the yahoo video group really like and recommend this and so after checking around bought it here on Amazon. It's terrific. Portable, good sound and excellent pics/video. Follow the advice on other posts to disable some features. Bought a couple xtra batteries on ebay, a lite-weight tripod here on amazon, and I'm pleased. I'm also particular. BTW, before I'd invest $800-1200 in a prosumer camcorder, I'd wait and watch the development of the DSLR's coming out with xcellent Video capabilities. The prices will drop with scale.
