Default Toshiba Camileo S10 Seen In The Wild

http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/13/...0p-flip-killer/

"It's been a while since we first caught wind of the mysterious Toshiba Camileo S10, but the pocket camcorder has finally broken loose, and it's looking like a pretty solid competitor to the Flip Mino HD and the Kodak Zi6 -- it amps up the video resolution to 1080p and also takes five megapixel stills."

The ultra-portable camcorder market is about to get more crowded with the Toshiba Camileo S10.  The Camileo brings 1080p video recording to the game and at an estimated base price of $181, it sounds like it will fly off the shelves.  Well, along with a large supply of SD cards since the Camileo has only 128MB of built in memory.  Short of some supreme software interface, I don't see this setting itself apart from the competition though.  So thos of you who already have a Flip Mino HD, your purchase is still sound.  I would really love to see one of these mini camcorders come with optical zoom and large enough internal memory to store more than half a thought, but one step at a time!

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...
