CMOS sensor
Amazing 9 Megapixel Still Image Quality A powerful 9.12 -megapixel (total) CMOS image sensor is the heart of the still image capabilities. The large sensor allows the CG9 to capture high-resolution, 9 megapixel still images in addition to recording high-quality digital videos with full-range stereo sound.

5x optical zoom with a bright maximum aperture of f/3.5 Consisting of nine groups and twelve total lenses, the CG9’s lens provides a fantastic field-of-view with a 38-190 mm range (35mm equivalent). Combined with the 12x digital zoom, the CG9 delivers up to 60x zooming capability.

Sophisticated image stabilizer Using a proprietary Sanyo algorithm, the CG9 automatically compensates for distracting up-and-down or side-to-side camera movement, keeping your subject steady and easy to follow. It accurately distinguishes between unintentional camera shake and deliberate camera movement. This handy feature operates in both wide-angle and telephoto modes.

Face Chaser technology
12 Subject Face Chaser Technology Recognizes up to 12 faces for still pictures and optimizes focus and aperture settings to ensure all subjects are in focus.

Highly advanced MPEG4 AVC/H.264 video compression This optimizes the file size and makes sharing movies on social networking sites or e-mailing them to friends and family even easier. In fact, the file size can be up to 25 percent smaller than that of typical MPEG-4 cameras.

To accomplish the complexity of encoding AVC/H.264 in real-time on the CG9, a dedicated Qpixel-brand H.264 video compression IC was incorporated into the camera that was designed specifically for portable consumer devices to achieve high video quality while simultaneously reducing the system power consumption. The result is high-quality video recording up to 8 hours of full-motion video with an 8 GB SDHC memory card (in TV-HQ mode). The Xacti CG9 can also record up to a total of 4 hours of video with a 4 GB SDHC memory card, up to 2 hours with a standard 2GB SD card, and up one hour with a standard SD card or SDHC flash memory card (sold separately).

Easily transfer video and still images to your video capable iPod Import video and still image files directly into iTunes software and then port them to your video-capable iPod. Share you latest masterpiece with friends and family.

Super-fast start-up Reduce the chances of missing the perfect shot. The Xacti CG9 media camera is designed for super fast start-up and shooting.

Simply open the display and the CG9 automatically powers up and can begin immediately recording in as little as 1.7 seconds.

Includes a high-capacity Sanyo brand lithium-ion battery The DBL-L20U is a high-voltage, 3.7-volt battery designed to work with the Sanyo Xacti CG9 camera. High-energy density design minimizes the battery size and weight, making it perfect for use in small, portable cameras. The DBL-L20 is designed to resist memory accumulation so it provides a full charge every time.
