Camcorders

"Toshiba’s Camileo S20 is aimed at a very demanding consumer. The type of consumer who wants a highly portable pocket camcorder with HD recording, and yet, has a budget of just £120. So, the Camileo S20 seems to offer it all – price, performance and portability. But can it really deliver so much for so little?" Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"We typically don’t test pre-production models, but when Canon offered one of the few samples in the U.S. of its soon-to-be-released top-of-the-line camcorders, we couldn’t resist. After all, this is the updated version of our 2009 Editor’s Choice pick, the HF S10, which remains one of the best we’ve ever used with dynamite video and high-quality stills. Here, the basic innards remain the same, but the key differences are a larger LCD, two SD Card slots instead of one and a new iPhone-inspired touch menu system. Let’s see if this remains an Editor’s Choice-grade offering." Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"The Toshiba Camileo S20 is one of the more compact HD camcorders on the market, lying squarely with models like the Flip Ultra HD and Kodak Zi8, rather than larger 'fully-fledged' camcorders. As such, it comes in with a price of £119. But what do you get for your money?" Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"So far, Sony hasn't done too well in the fast-growing, cheap-pocket-camcorder space dominated by Flip Video. After an initial flop with the NSC-GC1 a few years back, Sony redubbed its pocket-camcorder line 'Webbie'. That move fell flat, and now it's moved on to the marginally better 'Bloggie' name."
