I'm looking to buy a Camcorder that I can put in my pocket to take with me to Concerts, the pub and parties etc to take both movies and decent photographs.

I've been looking at the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 which gives 10MP stills, x5 zoom and has had decent reviews but I'm not too sure if I would be better going for a Compact Camera like the Panasonic TZ7 which can also record in HD but has a x12 zoom, 10MP stills.

The compact cam is approx double the price RRP of the Camcorder. ANyone got any views on which one would be best for my requirements
