Customer Review: Not professional video, but the most convenient!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this camera for about six months now. It makes shooting decent video so incredibly easy. The results are probably just good enough for both pictures and video that it makes it worth it for me. There is a trade off for quality here.
What makes it worth it is the most ergonomically pleasing camera I've ever had the pleasure to use. It fits perfectly in my pocket, including a protective camera case I got for it. There are just too many moments in life and I miss a lot less of them because it's so easy for me to carry around.
It's great for posting to YouTube. It shoots in mp4, which I just upload to YouTube. On the other hand, there are not tons of programs that can edit mp4s. I use Ulead Video Studio 11 and that works very well.
I had been using minidv for years, but the tape drive systems always let me down for a while and are just nowhere near as solid state as a camera like the CG9. After my second minidv camera went I vowed never more. I'm interested in harddrive cameras, but I'm not sure they take very good pictures and I just think that SD cards are the wave of the future.
For me the big draw is being able to write on SD cards. They are amazingly easy to use, except that your computer should probably have pretty advanced graphics/video capabilities. My laptop has a dedicated graphics card, and it's still a bit clunky to preview or edit videos.
I find the swivel lcd impossible to live without.
So overall I think it's a great camera. If you are really sensitive about picture/video quality, this is probably not your camera.
