6-Megapixel SANYO Xacti CG6 Features Large 2.5-inch LCD Monitor, Convenient
Headphones Jack and USB Charging Capability
CHATSWORTH, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Weighing less than six
ounces with battery and SD card onboard, the pocket-sized SANYO Xacti CG6
digital video/still camera is a stylish choice for spontaneous recording
whenever inspiration strikes. For exceptionally clear photos, a new "blur
correction with gyro sensor" system effectively corrects unintentional
camera shake, while low-light performance down to 2 lux(*1) lets the CG6
capture special moments even in candlelight alone.

The "blur correction with gyro sensor" system utilizes advanced digital
processing technologies. Without sacrificing the camera's lightweight
design, the gyro sensor detects the direction and amount of camera shake
during photo-taking and, based on that data, a digital filter cancels the
camera shake portion of the captured image. Because the VPC-CG6 also
includes a separate digital image stabilizer for video recording, shooting
sharp photos and video is virtually automatic.
The SANYO Xacti CG6 features a 6.0 megapixel CCD and a 5X optical zoom
lens. This enables ultra-sensitive movie recording that realizes a minimum
subject illumination of 2 lux. In addition to advanced sensitive digital
processing technologies, the CG6 offers an automatic frame-rate adjustment
capability in "Lamp" mode for low-light video recording.
"The Xacti CG6 is the perfect choice for capturing video and stills on
the go," said John Lamb, Senior Marketing Manager for SANYO Fisher
Company's Audio Video Division. "This easy-to-use camera incorporates
advanced technologies that produce beautiful results virtually every time.
It's fun to use and people will love how easy it is to transfer files to
their portable video players or to their computer for uploading to a photo
or video-sharing Website."
The SANYO Xacti CG6 will be available in the U.S. at the end of March
at an MSRP of $329.99(*2). The stylish blue Xacti CG6 will be available at
Wal-Mart Stores nationwide.
The camera has a large 2.5-inch LCD panel on which the user can compose
and frame the subject during shooting and then review the footage. The
low-reflective panel, composed of bright amorphous silicon with a high
resolution of approximately 110,000 pixels, is highly visible even outdoors
on a sunny day. The monitor unit rotates up to 290 degrees to allow
unrestricted shooting styles such as high/low-angle and self-shots. An AV
terminal/headphone jack on the camera body front provides connectivity to
commercial headphones (not included), making it easy to listen to video
while shooting or during playback with high-quality stereo sound.
The SANYO CG6 is SDHC-compatible, which means that you can record a
movie for up to eight hours on an 8 GB SDHC memory card(*3). Users can also
record up to 4 hours of high-quality video on a 4 GB SDHC memory card, up
to 2 hours on a standard 2GB SD card, and up to 1 hour on a standard 1 GB
SD card.
