Xacti CG9: Sanyo's Latest Low-End Camcorder

Sanyo has announced new Xacti CG9 camcorders in Japan which will almost certainly be released in North America relatively soon. They look slightly more bulky than the previous models, have switched from CCD to CMOS sensors for the camcorder, which Sanyo swears won't affect the video performance. Unless you just really want the new colors, including the pleasingly Robotech red-and-white model, you could probably do just fine with the previous versions, which should be dropping to an even more affordable price.
