Manual of product VPC-CG20EXP
Editorial note
The Sanyo VPC-CG20EXP stands out for its advantages, including its impressive 60x digital zoom and built-in image stabilizer, which ensure sharp videos and photos even in motion. These features, combined with auto-focus and night mode, allow for capturing quality images in various lighting conditions. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design of 157 g, along with its modern pink color, makes it an easy-to-carry and handle device. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The 10.7 MP resolution may seem insufficient for users seeking very high image quality, especially for large prints. Furthermore, the limited internal memory of 30 MB often requires the use of external memory cards, which can be inconvenient. The 2.7-inch LCD screen may also be too small for comfortable viewing, especially outdoors. Finally, the NiMH battery technology, while functional, may require a longer charging time than modern lithium-ion batteries. In terms of performance, the Sanyo VPC-CG20EXP scores 70, reflecting its solid visual capabilities despite some limitations. The design and ergonomics are well-rated with a score of 85, while the value for money is deemed satisfactory with a score of 75, although users must consider the need to purchase additional memory cards for optimal use. Overall, this device offers good value for money for those looking for a lightweight and feature-rich camcorder.Score details
