Thread: Bought 2 New Video Cameras

I just bought a Sanyo Xacti CG6 digital video camcorder two weeks ago off eBay for $150. It's 6mp, and 640x480/30fps with a host of features including anti-shake, super-macro down to 1 cm, good low light capabilities, in camera editing, etc. Takes awesome video straight to (up to) 4gb SD card in MP4 format, great still photos too.

great 10 min. video review (youtube):

YouTube - Review of the Sanyo Xacti Cg6

THEN, last night I saw a Sanyo Xacti C4 on eBay and bought that one too! The C4 is basically the same camera, but 4mp (vs 6mp) and includes a docking station and remote. Uses the same batteries and memory cards. A little less capable in low light than the CG6 (the CG6 also supports the newer SDHC SD cards)

Looking for the (now discontinued) underwater housing for the C4: a Sanyo EHS-400X underwater housing (which is rated to 45 meters)

I've been doing some online reviews recently and want to start doing video reviews. (Plan to buy a Philips SPC900NC/27 webcam next )

Hey, actually I live pretty much paycheck to paycheck but not having a family to worry about helps!

are you going to need to record something from two angles?

Always a possibility I was mainly interested because I read a review saying the remote could be used to fire the camera, which could come in handy (I've also seen conflicting reports which say the remote is for playback only)

I didn't really need the extra camera but thought it was a good price too.

Eventually I'd like to shoot some local video of businesses (for cash) and it might be handy to have a two-camera perspective. Idea would be to sell businesses on a video for a presense on the web for a flat rate fee and uploaded to 10 online video sites. Dunno if I'll ever actually get around to doing it tho as I'm lazy.

Buying a Philips SPC900NC (90fps) webcam this week then my life will be complete.
