Product Description
Discover the world of hybrid camcorders with the Camileo from Toshiba, a 5-in-1 device combining the functions of a camcorder, a camera, an MP3 player, a voice recorder and a webcam! The Camileo includes a 5.2-megapixel CMOS sensor so you can film all those special moments in a VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps. Its intelligent sensor can go up to 11 megapixels with interpolation for fixed images in 3840 x 2880 pixels. The Camileo saves directly to its in-built 64 GB memory or to SD and MMC memory cards, and also acts as an MP3 player. It even comes with an in-built microphone/speaker that works as a voice recorder. The Camileo can be easily connected to a laptop thanks to its USB 2.0 port.

This is a great little Camcorder if you want something that would be easy to carry around, just a little warning, however, that the charger plug is european. It is easy to buy an adapter, i got one from Wilko for 2.99.

I bought the Camileo Pro as a replacement for my previous budget camera and was particularly interested in it due to the presence of Optical Zoom. Also, the adapter plugging into the camera directly rather than having to charge the battery pack in a separate unit was a great blessing.
Right out of the box, the Camileo is easy to get up and running. It's just a case of sliding open the hatch at the bottom and putting in the battery pack. This is also where any SD/MMC cards fit.
The interface is somewhat confusing at first but could be grasped with a little experimentation and a study of the manual included on the CD ROM (the printed guide is not informative when it comes to tackling deeper things such as the camera mode options and the 'support' website is very unhelpful, having no information about the camcorder at all)
The Camileo's high points centered around its zoom and image capture functions. XviD format recording delivered beautiful resolution wherein the audio and video synchronizes very well. Macro mode is great for getting up close without causing images to blur (though you'll need a fairly steady hand).
Camera mode took me a little while to figure out since the (slightly badly) translated manual made it sound like you had to press the picture-taking button twice when in fact you have to hold it down to focus the lens, then press it in FURTHER to capture the image.
The biggest letdown was the sound capture quality when in movie record mode, which is fuzzy and barely audible. I could not find an option to adjust it, so I could only assume there wasn't one.
The voice recording function was okay for any audio notes that need to be made, since sound quality matters little in this case and the sound detection is okay when you're near to the camera, yet still with fuzz.
While I did not try out the eBook function, the mp3 function did its job with no frills attached and provided great sound quality playback of music files through headphones.
This could have been a wonderful camcorder for high res shots and easy PC editing/sharing. However, the horrible sound issues and slack manufacturing on both the models I tried (one of them arrived with the casing coming apart) did it no favours.

I purchased this camcorder about 1 month ago along with a 2gb SD card. I have found it great to use for both pictures and for video. One of the best things about it for me is it's size. We had a tape camcorder before this and due to it's size hardly ever used it because it was too much hassle to carry about. This however fits into my handbag and has been used more in the space of a month, than our old one was used in years.
I personally have no problem with the quality of the pictures and video from this camcorder, and think it is brilliant for the price.
cheap and not so cheerful January 19, 2008

I was not expecting much for the price and I wasn't dissapointed.
Image quality overall is poor with much recorded material of no use.
zoom is very jerky. Focus is all over the place.
I had a specific low quality use in mind when ordering this camera and it only just manages it.
Ok for the kids as a toy.
