I got Sanyo VPC-CG65 6MP MPEG-4 Flash Memory Digital Camcorder as a this Christmas Gift. I really like it because it is small enough to put in your pocket. I was searching the best price for this CG65, price is around $300-$380 shipped. I bought it from Ebay around $330 from Hong Kong, Amazon.com sells around $390. Ebay seller included 4GB Card which was selling point and other cheap accessories. It only took 3 days to get it as well. Amazon.com buyers reviews are great, here is one review I thought it is helpful. One greatest thing is it is in MP4 format, therefore, you can just upload into youtube or other video share sites, iPod, Zune without any converting crap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the few extra bucks IMHO, June 11, 2007
By D. Bauer (Memphis, Tn United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I’ve been extremely happy with the new Sanyo VPC-CG65 since I bought it. I first saw the VPC-CG6 (younger brother) at Walmart and instantly loved the small form factor. After doing a bit of research I found the CG65 with is identical except for the H.264 mpeg codec being built-in. I’m an Apple fan and so I knew I wanted that feature!

The camera is great, small, fast, handles the large sd cards perfectly. I plan on putting it to great use in a few weeks during summer vacation. So far, the videos I’ve shot with this camera are terrific. Close-up’s and details are crisp and clear. The auto-focus is dead-on for the most part. I have no complaints as far as that goes. I carry the thing around daily in my pocket..something I couldn’t do with a camcorder.

I know most photo camera’s can record video..but this is more of a video camcorder that can take pictures. I like the feature that allows you to snap a picture while in the middle of recording a video, but I wasn’t crazy about how it paused momentarily. Could have been related to my card speed (it’s not a fast sd card) but the feature still worked.

As far as cons go, the one time I used the camera for about an hour to record my brother-in-laws wedding, I noticed the camera got kinda warm. I hadn’t noticed that to be the norm, but I was doing a lot of recording that day. And it could have been related to the battery too since I ran it down to empty. That was of course before buying the extra batteries. See above.

I haven’t played with many of the built-in features yet other than white balance and video quality. I prefer recording everything on the SHQ (Super High Quality) setting but it does record at a pretty high bitrate. I also own an Apple TV and when I try playing the videos in their SHQ format on Atv it has trouble with that. No fault of the camera..I just think the Atv is a bit underpowered for the high bitrate. Regular HQ recording play well on Atv though. I still record at the higher setting so that I have more details when I go to do editing on the iBook. I can always lower the bandwidth during export so it’s not an issue to be concerned with. I don’t think anyone can shoot a video professionally in one take and so the chances of needing to put un-edited SHQ footage on the Atv is unlikely.

As I stated in the headline, I’d recommend spending the extra few bucks to get the H.264 codec built in. It’s a matter of personal preference but it does save space and it’s quickly becoming an industry standard.
