Toshiba Camileo P30

Real high-definition video recording for only £150; you even get a zoom lens
Tempting price / Compact
Image quality / Slow autofocus / Soft images

Pocket video cameras in the mould of Pure Digital's Flip Mino HD are arriving at quite a rate right now and the latest to join the gold rush is Toshiba's Camileo P30, which is weighs in at the attention-grabbing price of just £150.

It’s a little less pocketable than the Flip Mino HD thanks to its pistol grip design, but at 166g and just over 10cm tall it's not exactly hulking. Plus, rather than relying on built-in flash memory (it has only 96MB), there's an SDHC card slot.

Feature-heavy lightweight

More importantly, it's equipped with the sort of features we'd expect to find in more expensive camcorders. The P30 not only has a 5x optical zoom, but a macro mode, digital image stabilisation (limited to 720p mode and less), an LED light/flash for dim conditions and five megapixel still image capture.

There are more bonuses to be found in the list of accessories supplied with the camera. The P30 comes with a protective pouch, a wrist strap and all the cables you need for connection with a PC or TV, including an HDMI cable on top of the usual composite, and USB connectors.

Image letdown

So far so good, but our test videos were a little lacking. The image stabilisation works well and the zoom is smooth, but colours are over-saturated, the autofocus extremely slow and the lens doesn't produce the sharpest results either.

The extra features are nice to have, but we'd rather have the Mino HD's better quality recordings.

Also on the negative side, there's no on-board software of the type that makes the Vado and Flip cameras such a joy to use, and Arcsoft's MediaImpression supplied on the CD isn't the most elegant of editing/viewing tools.

All in all then, despite the impressive list of capabilities, features and low price, Toshiba's handy Camileo doesn't make the grade. Its lacklustre image quality sees to that.

The Puma Shoes are some very comfortable kicks. Sometimes when i get off work and switch into street Gucci Outlet , its a total relief on my feet. Im a little flat footed so this shoe was a great buy. Had these for a few months and durabilty is great plus easy to keep these clean! Non team colors of Coach Purses 's always have a strong following, especially for older models. Probably one of the most exciting release since the Discount Gucci release is the GOOD SHOES. They were released in 2007, and sold Cheap Gucci very well. They feature a black durabuck upper, anti-inversion cross straps, a poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sleeve similar to the Nike Air Huarache. Purple and aqua Puma Store light up the back end of the shoe. These mugs go hard and i especially like the colors cause Coach Handbags' my favorite colors red, black, and white.
