Manual of product VPC-CG20
Editorial note
The Sanyo VPC-CG20 is a camcorder that stands out for its impressive features, including a 60x digital zoom and a 5x optical zoom, allowing for precise detail capture from a distance. Its image stabilizer ensures sharp videos and photos even in motion, while the 10.7 MP CMOS sensor guarantees satisfactory image quality. Additionally, the built-in night mode allows for shooting in low-light conditions, adding to its versatility. However, there are some notable drawbacks. The internal memory limited to 30 MB can quickly prove insufficient without the addition of external memory cards. Furthermore, the 2.7-inch screen size may not provide the desired comfort for viewing, especially when shooting or playing back videos. The maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels may also disappoint users looking for 4K content. Finally, the NiMH battery, while functional, may require more frequent recharges. Regarding the user experience, the Sanyo VPC-CG20 offers well-thought-out features, but the screen size may pose a problem for some. Performance is generally good, but users demanding high image quality may be frustrated by certain limitations. The lightweight and compact design of the camcorder makes it easy to transport, which is an advantage for users wanting to capture memories on the go. Finally, the value for money is fair, especially for those interested in zoom and stabilization, although the need for memory extensions may incur additional costs. Overall, the Sanyo VPC-CG20 is a solid choice for photography and video enthusiasts, offering a good balance between features and portability.Score details
