Quck Hello On My New Camera Sanyo CG10

[Rob13y]

hay thats my cam :DDDD

[dummerbube]

It does not seem to perferm too bad with normal overhead lightbulb lighting... great - because this cam is just on its way to me :-D

[xxjennifaxx]

what file format does this camcorder save movies as?

[bradley081]

Flip Ultra HD is smaller but much shakier so the Sanyo is the better choice dude.

[JohnF30Music]

QUESTION:

What lighting did you use for this video?

[MichaelMidnight]

@JohnF30Music

I think I had an over head lamp on to give me some shine

[VidPro95]

I have the Flip Ultra HD and im returning it for that camera. The reason is the zoom that the Sanyo has and the fact that it takes a SD card.

[PestVic]

wow how did you reduce the picture noise in a low light situation like that? i have mine but my video noise is still there in low light

[pacmanlegend]

ummm, he has a bright light on his face

[PestVic]

very true... haha

[JohnF30Music]

@PestVic The Sanyo is the best camera when it comes to noise

[PestVic]

@JohnF30Music yeah i have one now, since then ive bought a Sony HDR Cx500v. which does amazing in low light :-P

[MemoirsofaScholar]

Hey quick question. I just brought a Sanyo Xacti CG10 HD the other week. But I was wonder what movie editor are you using?? and my videos have the black bars on the side how do I get rid of them and make it full widescreen, do you know?>?... thanks for your help.

[MichaelMidnight]

I use a macbook and my editor program is iMovie. I'm not sure about the black bars though. There should be a setting on your editor to set how you want your video presented.

[thr33zyTV]

if ur exporting straight to youtube from imovie u cant get rid of the blk bars first u have to export to quicktime and the adjust the size of it under settings

[Disorder92]

you can use sony vegas i guess.. and there probably wont be black bars. if there are look it up on youtube. i think i once saw how to do it but i cant remember!

[jakeychan87]

i want this camcorder!

[MichaelMidnight]

It should be available at local Radio Shacks for under $200~

[thr33zyTV]

best buy 150

[SEDILEXRE5]

can you use the flash while recording?

[MichaelMidnight]

No, flash is only for pictures only unfortunately

[BIGGERLebowski]

thanks for the video? any idea if it would work on windows moviewmaker?

[Funkywallot]

Movie maker for XP - No. The Sanyo formats recordings in mp4/hr264. Moviemaker only handles ASF, AVI, WMV. What you need is Windows LIVE movie maker (Vista only)

[higzyguitarist]

but windows live movie maker sucks!

[Funkywallot]

Have a look at Pinnacle Studio ultimate collection 14 . It masters almost every format and has lots of amazing effects .

[bkd2117]

I like my xacti a lot but i hate the video quality in dim light. When I watch those on my computer its got like blatches of yellow and stuff in it. The quality in daylight kicks ass though and I like that I can use it as a pc cam. I just wish I could shoot more videos in dim light. What software do you use to edit your videos?

[MichaelMidnight]

Yeah the dim lighting is a bit frustrating but you are spot on about the video being radiant during the daylight. Have you tried using the night shot version during low-light moments, that could help. As for editing, I just use iMovie on my Mac.

[bkd2117]

No I havent tryed the night shot yet. I'll have to give it a try and see if it helps. I have a pc and right now i'm just using media impression for kodak as my software. I didnt think I could use that for these videos since this software had came from my zi6 that I had but it did. I wanna get something better though.

[pianistnyc]

Ok, thanks. I figured it out!

[pianistnyc]

Do you know how to get videos from this camera onto the computer? I don't understand, could you tell me how? I DON"T GET IT!!

[bkd2117]

Just hook the usb, select connect to computer, then select card reader, open up the folder, click the video you want and drag it over to your video folder. You can watch them in quicktime, itunes, or whatever software you use for your videos.

[MichaelMidnight]

Sorry for the late response but @bkd2117 is spot on. Hopefully it worked and of course you could also just use a SD card reader too :D

[pianistnyc]

Yeah I did everything just well, thank you for the response!

[aDJmProduction]

i was thinking of purchasing the vado hd but now i like this camera

[alexasinalex]

Nice video! What kind of lighting were you in? My current camera (kadak zi6) only works in REALLY bright lights

[MichaelMidnight]

I believe I was using a lamp in my room. But just like your Zi6, the best video some from a space well lighted, especially by real sun light!

[jeffrey9876543211111]

when you plug the sanyo into the computer is there video editing software like in the flip?

[RRLpro]

waould it be a good camera for making skits with?

[xxAO2012xx]

yes...

[TheArtOfTheComment]

I'm thinking about buying a better camera this summer as well. The quality is much more HDesque on this. Good stuff, Michael.

[MichaelMidnight]

Thanks man. The HD looks nice with the right light and a steady hand or tripod. It is shaky though! But I still like it!

[bluekarma4]

HD quality is pretty good but the image stabilizer is kind of an issue but you can't beat the price. I've heard the proprietory usb Sanyo is also an issue, but I am taking a chance and ordered it online.

[MichaelMidnight]

Even with the stabilizer on it's shaky. And I have steady hand. And sometimes it appears shakier than when I used my old Flip Ultra. But like you say, the price is nice. To combat the mini USB, I'm seeing if I can use an SDHC reader, so I'll just pop it from my cam to the usb reader!

[LalalalalaLauren75]

wait.......your other videos were with a phone camera?

[MichaelMidnight]

Yeah. I use to use a Flip Ultra, but it died a long time ago. Since then I've been using my Macbook's iSight, my Nokia cell phone, and my old digital camera's short video bursts to stitch up videos.

[studentdotcom]

Hello to the new camera.  Looks good.

[MichaelMidnight]

Thanks man!

[Majo0od]

EPIC!  I love the HD goodness :)

[MichaelMidnight]

Yup me too!

[MichaelMidnight]

Well thank you very much Garnet :D

[IraqIsWhack]

Looks like you got a good cam

[MichaelMidnight]

Me too! I just hope it doesn't die out on me like my old Flip Ultra camera, which died just shy a year from when I bought it.

[wilsontech1]

Nice camera dude; looks very professional!

[MichaelMidnight]

Aw, thanks Lamarr. I just hope I can make better and more professional videos now.

[who0ligan]

Also congrads on the new camera I'm glad for you! I hope you like it and it works out for you!

Love the quality how did you upload it? just raw file or did you render it on an editor? I just used Vegas and rendered as a 720p .wmv file.

[MichaelMidnight]

I use a Mac, so that was the biggest thing against the CG10, at first. I wasn't sure how my computer would receive it whereas with the Flip, I knew it could handle it. I was very close on getting the Flip Ultra HD; so glad I didn't. What I did was take video on the HD setting, used the cord to transfer it to my computer and just uploaded it!

Call me One-Take-Mike :D

But yeah, so glad I went with this.

[who0ligan]

and yeah i liked how the screen flips out too that was a big seller for me.

[metaphoricxxeyes]

Hm. Nice quality, it seems. I need a camera for my videos(although I only have one, yikes) so I'm not staring at a webcam. o.O DB, picture, plz! Kthxbai!

Clammy... *snicker* I was just looking at that picture where I.. asked for Clammy. LOL!

[MichaelMidnight]

I hope soon to add some new video with Clammy and Naners!

[confidential247]

hands are quite big... that's what SHE said

[who0ligan]

haha!!! nice.

[MichaelMidnight]

Yup! It's true! I can revolve two melons in my hand :D
