Another mini camera: Sanyo CG-65
During the Linehan trial earlier this month I was chatting with a 48-Hours producer (they sent a team to cover the sentencing!) about video cameras and he pulled a Sanyo Xacti CG-65 out of his bag. Neil was talking it up as a travel camera — it’s very small, light and produces compressed (MPEG-4) files (he’d done a recent piece for the New York Times out of Thailand with it).
This is one of the older cameras in the line and he suggested avoiding the more recent, HD-capable versions.
I’m not going to give up my G9 but it certainly looked like an option for web-only work.
