The Toshiba Camileo S10 has us in a tizzy. It’s not often we get this excited about a camcorder, but then it’s not often we’re treated to a full HD video camera that’s just 11mm thick!
The Camileo S10 is gorgeous. With its screen folded closed, it almost looks like a mobile phone. It’s that small. Open it up though, and you’ll find an SD card slot, HDMI socket and 2.5 inch display – everything you’d expect on a high-end camcorder, just crammed inside an 11mm thick shell.
But all of that’s in addition to the Camileo S10’s real party trick: it’s a full HD camcorder, recording in 1080p.
Toshiba says the Camileo S10 camcorder will be on sale in May, costing an extremely attractive £130. That’s enough to give the Flip Mino HD nightmares.
OK, it’s not perfect. We don’t know what sort of battery life that tiny shell will squeeze in, and there’s no optical zoom. But we’re still smitten with the Camileo S10. It’s shaping up to be our favourite camcorder of the year so far. Stay tuned for more close-up photos of it in action.
