Conclusion

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10

Most ultra compact camcorder have the look and feel of an iPod. Not Sanyo's VPC-CG10, that has the same pistol-grip design as its big sister, the VPC-HD2000. Unlike the Flip and the clones, however, it offers plenty of features and manual controls. The Xacti (£250) is more expensive than other ultra compact camcorders, but the wide range of functions and the superior video performance in bright light is worth the money.

The CG10 also has 10 megapixels for stills, which is far more than any of the competitors have to offer. Sanyo's VPC-CG10 also has a digital image stabilisation and a 5x optical zoom. Of course there is also a downside to the CG10. First of all, the battery is so poorly designed, you have to take it out it to recharge. Then it has a terrible low light sensitivity and, last but not least, the menu is interlaced and confusing. Overall, the Sanyo VPC-CG10 is a good little camcorder, especially in regards to its still functions. If you are looking for an easy and simple camcorder, there are better choices.
