As with most pocket camcorders, it’s best to refrain from using the zoom at all only the 5X optical zoom on the Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5 stands out here.This subtel® PX1685E-1BRS camera battery for Toshiba Camileo S20, Camileo S40, Camileo S45 digital cameras and more is a perfect replacement battery, spare or backup battery – so you’ll never miss that perfect shot again. At times, I was able to slowly zoom in and out, but at other times, the zoom control jumped between zoom points or rocketed to full telephoto. When you’re using the same zoom control for operating the 4X digital zoom, it’s insanely touchy. Pressing the center of the zoom control would be the most intuitive way to make on-screen selections, but instead, you sometimes have to use the two small buttons below it to dive into on-screen menus. Top-level menu navigation is done with the thumb-operated zoom control, which is fairly responsive but feels cheap and plasticky. When shooting with the Camileo, I found the main drawback to be its menu navigation, which is especially frustrating given the amount of goodies at your disposal. And the camcorder has an all-plastic build, which definitely makes it feel a bit cheap (but also slim and light, and probably fairly durable). It’s nice to have the macro/landscape toggle, but the macro mode doesn’t allow for extreme close-ups the closest I was able to get to a subject and shoot a clear shot was about a foot away. That said, it’s big and adjustable enough to get the job done as a viewfinder. The adjustable screen is great for composing odd-angle shots (filming over a crowd or taking self-portraits, for example), but it’s not the sharpest screen we’ve seen, and it looks a bit dull in direct sunlight. Instead of the candy-bar design employed by the vast majority of pocket camcorders, the Camileo S20 shoots in a pistol-grip style, thanks to a flip-out, swiveling 3-inch LCD screen it’s a Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5 on a no-carb diet.
It shoots AVI files in 1080p or 720p at 30 frames per second, recording the video footage to a user-supplied SD or SDHC card.
It may be thin and light–even for a pocket camcorder–but the ultraslim Toshiba Camileo S20 ($180 as of ) packs more features into its frame than any high-definition pocket camcorder we’ve tested to date.Īlong with 1080p high-definition video, digital stabilization, and a macro/landscape toggle switch–all of which we’ve seen in models such as the Kodak Zi8–the Camileo S20 has a handful of pocket-camcorder firsts, including an LED light for shooting in the dark, a time-lapse mode that lets you select between three preset intervals, four white-balance presets, and a slow-motion mode that helps you take (very grainy) footage of fast action.
