There is a new breed of device gather steam. Devices that can take decent photos and videos. There are two ways of making a hybrid device.

• Camcorders that that still photos
• Cameras that can take videos

The Sanyo CG65 Camcorder is the former, and reports are that it does it quite well.
As it stands these hybrid devices can’t match the quality of a dedicated camera or camcorder. But these devices are a lot easier to pocket and carry with you everywhere.

The CG65 records video in MPEG4, H.264 format. You can fit about 2.5 hours of video on a 4GB SDHC card in the HQ setting 640 x 480, 30fps at 3Mbps.

Here’s the kicker. I have seen actual footage in low light situations and I have to say I was pretty impressed. More to come on these devices.
