Sanyo VPC-CG6 review
Pros

Cons
Menu system a little complex
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Excellent camera for all around use. Small, easy to use and attach to computer and get very good results
I bought this camera from Warehouse123.com based on previous reviewer. I had bought a VPC-C6 but then read about this newer camera and returned that to Circuit City and am not sorry. This is definitely an upgrade - bigger LCD screen, smaller and reads the new SD card (SDHC).
I am satisfied with the performance. It takes good stills and very nice videos. It is easy to attach to my laptop although my new Gateway card reader will not read the SDHC card (even though I upgraded the TI software). This is not a great problem because the Sandisk 4gb card comes with a card reader that is very small and simply attaches to the built in Gateway card reader.
The low light performance is not great. Other than that I really like the camera. It would be nice if it had a 10x zoom rather that the 5x zoom. Also, some of the menus are a little cumbersome but you can set a shortcut key for 4 of your most ofter used functions such as flash, timer, focus setting, etc. This alleviates the menu system somewhat. But, for the money I don't think you can beat this little gem. I wanted a small camera to put in my pocket for outdoor use such as skiing, golf, etc. This one is perfect for that. It's smaller than my wife's digital camera and does everything I want.
Buying from Warehouse123.com was very painless. They ship FedEX so you get your stuff in 2 or 3 days. Only thing is they forgot to send my card reader which is supposed to arrive in the next few days. We'll see.
