First of all, I am a novice video camera user. My first priority was to have an easy to use video camera that would take good video that was easy to transfer to a PC. After reading the reviews of this and several other cameras I decided to purchase this camera. The camera has met all of my expectations. It is so easy to use and so easy to transfer the video to a PC. Using a free online video converter I was also able to use Windows Movie Maker to edit my video. I am an educator and I wanted to be able to use my camera with Windows Movie Maker for digital storytelling.
I love this camera. The sound quality, the still picture and video quality are exceptional for the money. The camera is a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures and like others who have reviewed it state that it's small size makes you want to carry it with you everywhere (and I do!).
I highly recommend this camera for it's quality, ease of use and especially if you are looking for an easy way to transfer your videos to your computer.
Great Hybrid Camcorder. January 17, 2008

I've had this for about 2 weeks now. WOW! I am really impressed with the video quality of this hybrid camcorder. I have since taken a bunch of videos and burned it to a DVD using the included Ulead software. I was blown away by the video quality. I owned a Panasonic MiniDV camcorder before and you just can't compare the 2. The Panasonic was really dull and bad. On this one, videos are stored in an SD card. I have an 8GB SDHC and it's so easy to take videos and upload them into the PC. No more of the waiting overnight for your video to be transfered from MiniDV to your computer. I was skeptical initially but now I can say that this one is a keeper.
Oh it also takes great still shots. Maybe not as great as my Canon SD700IS, but still takes really good still shots. This is the problem with current camcorders today. They will take good videos but take really pathetic still pictures. These hybrid camcorders are changing the landscape. And Sanyo is definitely taking the lead on this.
This camera has everything I want or need from a camcorder. Small compact and very handy, takes really good videos and takes good still photos. It fits right in my pocket and it's very light! No need to bring that huge bag with all the extra tapes, batteries and the likes.
I am now a Sanyo believer. Love this CG65!

This is the absolutely slickest camcorder I have ever owned. It is very simple to operate, and the instruction manual actually makes sense ! I have made stills, and videos, uploading both to my computer and onto the Internet without a problem. This camera would be a bargain at twice the price.
happy with my purchase! December 26, 2007

I just got it today and started shooting and having fun with my children, video quality is better than I expected, audio is good too and the best of all, my family in south america were enjoying the videos just a couple of minutes after I shot them... the size is unreal and it's really easy to use. I got a 4 GB memory card for 35 bucks, you can't beat that, no tapes or cd's to buy and they only hold 30 or 60 minutes of video, plus you can edit your videos, add text, music, etc... Happy!!!
 I did lot's of research and this one won me over - with good reason :) October 17, 2007

I looked at just about every camera on the market and this one matched all my needs. For me the hardest part was desiding between the sanyo models, as they have so many that are closely related. It ultimately came down to this one and the HD1A, which are about the same price. th VPC-CG65 won out for two reasons: the h.264 encoding, and the low light image quality. I've only had it for about 2 weeks, so I can't say much about its durability beyond that it is well designed. The only things I was disapointed in was that you can't directly manipulate the aperature and shutter speed, though you can still control them through the presets so it's not that big of a deal. and I would have prefered a wrist strap to a neck strap.
