Need to see the video quality both in good and low light situations but it does record in higher resolution than the Mino HD or Zi6 for the same or less money. I'm looking forward to seeing and using one.

I love my Zi6 but the one thing that all these cams are lacking that this Toshiba has is a swing-out screen. I have to say that when you're recording a video podcast, that's SO much better than just guesstimating where your face is in the frame. I may grab one of these if they ever show up on this side of the pond.

Looks pretty hot to me! That's a good price for a 1080p pocket cam...I hope they don't screw up other elements of it such as storage, charging, battery, etc...
