Yep, the CG10 is a discreet little tool that has it’s uses. A great crash cam when you don’t want to risk a more expensive camcorder.

Just bought the step-up series CG20 for several months. Still pictures taken at short distances( Under 6 feet) show fish eye distortions. This can be corrected by software such as Photoshop Elements.

Adode Media Encoder also very quickly converts files from the Xacti to Quicktime (.mov), which can then be used directly in FCE. The upgrade to Quicktime Pro also gives you export/save as options.

Thanks for the ‘Quicktime .mov files in the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC)’ and Streamclip app tip

Mitzi, the lens is sharpest in the center, with a fair amount of distortion at the edges. Stopping down to f/8 can sharpen things up a bit, but not a ton. By and large I expect stills from the CG10 that are better than most video cameras, but not as good as most digital cameras over $200.

Did you find the best settings for photo? For me seems to be blurry/out of focus.
Some people reccomend 3.5 manual settings for exposure, but I think is much too light in many situations.
Sry for my english.
