Toshiba Camileo S20 video review

Toshiba Camileo S20 colours

  • Video

The Toshiba Camileo S20 is certainly a great-looking camcorder, and you're likely to receive admiring glances after pulling it out of your pocket (unless you chose the pink version...). At around £150, it's very reasonably priced, too, and this includes some worthwhile extras in the box such as the HDMI cable and tripod. However, image quality is behind pocket Internet camcorders.

Again, no menion of the battery. If its built in then this is another cheap camcorder with a defined life of perhaps 2 years.

I have used this cam, and have edited the video footage too! Its a alright cam, but you see that its trying to focus on anything. Which in turn brings out crap quality.

The S-series Camileo cameras are fantastic value at under £70 now..I have owned the earlier S10 model for a year took some great video and photos with it. Although they have fixed lenses and no manual controls, the video quality makes up for that in my opinion. It is far better than all it's competitors including the Flip, for both for videos and stills (I tried a few). I often shoot stills with my S10 rather than carry around a bulky digital camera, as the image quality is very decent in both wide angle and macro. The main selling points for me are the incredibly compact size (you really don't notice it in your pocket) the long battery life and fast charging time.
