Sanyo
The qualification of Sanyo VPC-CG10 Camcoder is :
#1 it’s made for portability – I’m a guy and this fits in a pocket just fine.
#2 features – unbelievable what Sanyo fit in this thing. 720p (vid quality is as expected for the price), photo during recording, Av/Tv priority, 7fps burst, built-in flash, in-camera editing, frame-by-frame in-camera playback, 5x OPTICAL zoom, (cheesy) image stabilization, focus/exposure lock, selectable iso, face recognition…etc etc
#3 build quality – amazing – it’s a solid, well textured and designed little unit. It fits natural. The lcd is bright / clear / fast and its hinge is very strong. Feels very high quality, unlike my previous zi6. All parts are tight and smooth. The SDHC slot feels floppy though.
#4 for the $149 deal, it smokes anything else in its price range: zi6, flip mino hd, insignia, rca, vado as far as being a complete package.
It records just short of 4 hours on 16gb sdhc card at 720p. VGA / Youtube shooting is practically endless (12hrs?). eBay has some 900mah replacement batteries ~$5 each that get you ~50 mins video time per at 720p.
I got it mostly for golf swing videos – the sports mode and 60fps 640×480 fits my needs perfectly. But I’m completely confident in bringing this camera to anything else and recording great videos no matter what they might be.
