Obviously if you are looking for a pocket cam for someone less tech savvy we'd recommend the Flip Mino Ultra HD or Kodak Zi8 HD, and if you want a better performing pocket cam the Xacti VPC-CS1 has a 10x zoom and a less palatable $225 price tag. Ultimately we can't say the S20 cured all of our camcorder woes, but it did turn out to be an HD cam that we can recommend for the price."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1272234467.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Pretty impressive. &nbsp;At this price point/feature level, I'd have expected this to be from an brand like Apitek or a similar off brand. &nbsp;So it is a&nbsp;pleasant&nbsp;surprise to see this from the likes of Toshiba. &nbsp; I'd certainly choose this over the Flip Slide.</p>

Raw resolution wise, it's not bad, but they talk about pictures being somewhat whitewashed. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the image quality.

You could get a Sanyo VPC-CG20 for around the same price and the image quality is probably more reliable.

Oh yeah, and the Flip Slide is the dumbest idea ever and a total gimmick. I'm very disappointed in Flip for even releasing it.
