5 Reviews for Sanyo Xacti CG65 SD Card Digital Movie Camera
If you spend your life in the garden in a sunny climate ....... - 22 Feb 2008

......then you'll probably love this dinky little video camera (that is if you can forgive its tinny feel, out of sync audio/video and the fiddliest of lens caps).
Trust me, if you have a hand any bigger than that of a porcelain doll, you'll find this difficult to hold without fearing you're going to drop it at any moment.
At £186, which is what I paid for it, although I wasn't expecting the slickness and build of Panasonic or Sony midrange camcorders, I was expecting more than what I got. I was willing to compromise in order to have a portable camera for ad hoc video moments but not this much. I would have settled for something a bit bigger with a better build and paid a bit more for it.
I feel it's just an expensive gadget.
Poor quality photos - 08 Feb 2008

This was a bought as a replacement for my old dv tape camcorder. I wanted one that would be small enough to be slipped into a pocket, as well as producing decent video and good photos.
It is very small and compact, even smaller than my compact digital camera. The menus and controls are quick to get the hang of and easy to use. The lens cap feels and looks like it was a bit of an after thought. So it definately fulfills my need for something very portable. The video appears to be decent quality, easily sufficient for my home video needs. Low light quality is a bit iffy. The photo quality is disappointing, especially low light using the flash. It produces images (at 6mp quality) that are significantly worse than my old 5mp camera. So far, interior snaps using the flash, have been unusable due to starring on the image. I am guessing this is due to the flash reflecting off the chromed lens surround, but may be something else. I haven't used it for outside photography yet; hopefully that will be better.
As a cheap, very portable camcorder, this fits the bill. As a combined camcorder/camera it falls well short; if I was choosing again i wouldn't buy this one.
Rubbish - 02 Feb 2008

As a media student, i need something small and reliable for my work. I returned this camera as i found the video and sound quality really poor, and more like a webcam. The photo quality wasn't too bad but i bought it as a video camera. The battery seemed to only last about 15 minutes and took forever to charge. I also found that i was having to spend a fortune on memory cards just to get a few minutes of bad quality footage. I did contact sanyo to see if maybe i was doing something wrong, and they were about as useful as Julian Clary entering the Mr. Universe competition. I've been completely put off sanyo products now
Excellent Value, glad I bought this one! - 26 Oct 2007

Bought this cam a few days ago from Amazon (received in less than 18 hours!) and this is an instant hit! There is a review which states this cam has a cheap tinny feel to it, but Ive no idea where that comes from. Im a 6ft man and so my hands are fairly big, but the cam is perfect size and poses no problems there.. the menu nav system is easy to manage and again ive no problems with the user interface.
Im not really upto scratch on the specs of recent devices, but this cam has very good quality when viewing the vids on a mac (yes its highly compatible on my mac) and the zoom is pretty impresive too (although when finger is on zoom the focus is abit off). Battery power seems reasonable, ive not given that a full test yet though!
Like I said, I've only had the cam a few days but I really cant fault it in any department and especially for its price, size etc.. so why not 5 stars..? Well the only negative I can state is that the lens has a manual cap and in time im sure that will get loose or break.. (also there was no SD card included, but I guess thats not really a problem with the cam).
I doubt I'd have been as happy if I'd chosen a different one.
Really nice piece of Kit - 22 Sep 2007

Bought this after reading all the reviews and discussions I could find on the web. Opinion is mostly good with the odd bad review here and there. One important point i came across is that this camera saves files in a format (mp4) that needs a good codec to read it. there are apparently some not so good codecs and players out there that will make the films on here look badly pixelated. With the right codec the picture quality is excellent. I love this camcorder it is well thought out. to transfer to pc all you need do is plug in usb and drag it across. you save on the weight of Hard drive camcorders and gain a plus in convenient size and weight. It is easy to use out of the box, good battery life and all the more complex settings are available if you should wish to use them. For the price I would say it is amazing
