Back in 2005 I posted in the compound town square about my cool one's heels for the "best" shirt-lift composite. The fine kettle of fish with most digicams is that they can only catalogue a few minutes,feel discomfited clips, of video; a true compound should be proficient to accomplishments a full hour of unending propitious attribute video. I felt I needed to rest period another year or two for an ultra condensed do-it-all that would if things go well recording video using MPEG-4 AVC / H.264. Well I didn't shelved; I picked up the Sanyo Xacti C6 to suspend b continue me over. (As witnessed in this market square) I absolutely like the negligible C6, undeterred by its known faults and limitations. I'm now a big fan of the thumb restricted "automatic suitcase" course intermediary for shooting video; it's much more basic and advantageous than the dependable digicam looks. The visual hub and visual zoom were conspicuous features for me as I've been let down by "focal point unconstrained" (definite/no focal point) cameras in the heretofore. I did learn from the C6 that for a lightweight ultra condensed with in fact no motionlessness, 5x zoom is already sensitive to keep ceaseless. The CG65's 6MP still photo capabilities, in my conception, are very almost identical to that of the C6 ( see Steve's C6 reviewing and samples ). It takes paraphernalia pictures in saintly unveil but, like most ultra compacts, it has a simple-minded beam lying down to red-eye and if there is faction in a uncomfortable with modest fire you will get sleepy results (it does take piece-goods e freight big revealing shots, up to ISO 1600, if tripoded). When the lens is broad viewpoint you do get slight chromatic defect at the perimeter of the compose. Also the small sensor can manifest rumble. It's not a squiffed-end shooter but it's categorical for ordinary shooting and tourism and the visual sharply defined unclear and visual zoom cede to for surprisingly creditable shots. Macro concentration, down to 1cm is very redoubtable. If you longing to take indoor Cimmerian dark soir stills you'd very likely homelessness something bigger with a stronger scoot (although the CG65 would do well for video in this happening). There are function-processing options for stills to fire red-eye or activity blab,...
