    THE GOOD: Very good 720p HD video for its class; 5x optical zoom; nice LCD; full featured for an inexpensive minicamcorder.

    THE BAD: Component cable not included; slow AF, still-camera performance; poor photo quality; pistol grip not for everyone.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Sanyo's dual-camera Xacti VPC-CG10 has the design and features to easily shoot both HD-quality movies and 10-megapixel photos, but slow performance and mediocre photos keep it from being a solid do-it-all device.

    The price is no bargain though at $165. Its $150 with free shipping from Amazon

    The accessories they provide are pretty cheap. If they charge for shipping you might want to buy elsewhere and purchase those accessories separately.

    It's ok I suppose but with a 5x optical zoom it's not too good. spend more money on a better camera. you WILL regret buying this cheap camera. Buy a reputable camera brand (sony jvc, canon panasonic)
