Sanyo Xacti CG9 - Camcorder

Sanyo has really upped the tempo in the camcorder market, they are definitely one of the most exciting ones out there and they certainly don't flatter to deceive. The all new spanking new version of the Xacticamcorder has been released and this time it is with a 9 Megpixel CMOS.

The Xacti CG9 comes with a "face chasing" technology which is what most manufacturers are eying in the coming years. The Xacti CG9 has a negligible 40 mb internal memory with a 5x optical zoom. The video codec used is H.264, and the video is recorded in VGA quality at 60 frames per second (top fps).

This cam focuses more on stills and less for HD recording as it looks. With the CMOS we think it will do a better job than the normal CCD technology. CMOS sensors do deliver higher MTF (colloquially referred to as sharpness) at High Defination data rates than CCDs do.

Pricing on this one, not known yet.... will update this space for you camcorder freaks!
