The Sanyo VPC-CG20EXBK is a camcorder that stands out for its interesting features and practical design. With a 60x digital zoom and a 5x optical zoom, it allows for capturing precise details even from a distance, providing great flexibility for various shooting situations.

Its lightweight of 157 g makes it perfect for travel and outdoor adventures. However, the Sanyo VPC-CG20EXBK also has some drawbacks.
