The Toshiba Camileo SX900 high defy camcorder has just been ushered into officialdom by the Japanese gadget giant, along with a little brother, the SX500. What should pique your interest over the latest Sanyo and Flip models? Read on and we’ll tell you.

The Toshiba Camileo SX900 may not be quite as powerful as Panasonic‘s latest HD shooter, but it’s a tad more svelte, and its full HD, 1080p video recording skills at 30 frames per second, or 60 interlaced, should keep most home movie maniacs content.

The Toshiba Camileo SX900 also squeezes in an HDMI connection for hooking up to a TV, a 2.7inch fold out LCD display, a 9x optical zoom and support for the new, spacious SDXC memory card format. The Toshiba Camileo SX900 also doubles up as a handy stills shooter with its 14 megapixel CMOS sensor, as it’s got facial recognition focus with support for up to 12 mugs in one frame.

Alongside the Toshiba Camileo SX900, a lower spec SX500 model has also been revealed. It shoots in the same resolution, though you’ll only get 10 megapixel stills, and a 5x optical zoom, so it’s not one for peeping Toms.

Both the Toshiba Camileo SX900 and SX500 are out in July, with prices still to be confirmed.
