The prospect of 1080p shooting for £150 sounds too good to be true. Unfortunately, in the case of the Toshiba Camileo P30, it is a bit of a pipe dream, with low-light performance the main deal breaker.

JVC's Everio GZ-MS120 or MG330 will produce much more consistent results, even if they can't boast the pixel resolution.Read full review
