+ For simple shoot and record this is perfect. It's light, tiny and looks cool. The HD looks pin sharp when playing the vieos back through my HD TV via the (free) HDMI lead provided. Great value for money and if you hadn't have described it as "refurbished" I would never have known it wasn't brand new. It was absolutely mint when it arrived (even the box). Camera stills are sharp and despite the product description, can offer 8mp images (rather than the 5mp advertised) 4GB card will give over 2 hours of 720 HD footage.....more than I need before a download to the PC

- Buttons are a little fiddly but this is a minature machine when all said and done. More options for camera settings would be nice and i don't like the fact that you have to open the screen to turn the thing on or off.

+ Lightweight, convenient and competent, except in low light (which is not unusual)the picture is grainy. Easy to just drag and drop files from camera to hard drive, then clear SD card and use again. No more messing around with mini DV tapes etc. Zoom could be better, image stabiliser has to be manually turned on every time you use it, only for 720p, but over all for the money it is an excellent product.

- Poor low light performance. Image stabilisation setting has to be reset everytime device turned off. Camera shutter delay.

Geoff, Chatham

+ Beautuflly thin, compact and light - will fit easily in any pocket. Two hours plus filming in HD mode on rechargeable battery that lasts for two hours. Delightfully simple and easy to use. Unlike the Flip the Camileo uses SD cards (8Mb = two hours filming), so there is no effective limit on how much video you can take while on holday (you're just limited by the amount of SD card memory you have, and by the battery to two hours filming a day). Comes with case, all necessay leads, and even a mini tripod. Excellent avlue all round..

- Not good in poor light - best results outdoors or in well lit indoor rooms.

+ The camileo s10 produces best filming in good daylight conditions. Picture quality is also very good. The cam has an attractive build, is very small (mobile phone size) & light in the hand. Battery life was better than expected. Can also record at 720hd. The price is also very attractive. The results are very impressive,- all considered.

- Indoor quality drops off rapidly. zoom is limited to 2x at 1080 hd recording. Stability is not available at full hd. Memory is tiny- sd cards needed. No flash for pics. Very fiddly when hooking up to hdtv- better to extract card & upload to computer.

+ Lightweight and compact, so easy to take with you. Easy charging via USB. SD cards rather than built in storage mean you can add capacity or use several cards on a long trip. Files drag and drop to PC when connected by USB. HDMI output and cable included. For the price, performance is good, not excellent, but worth the money.

- Image stabilisation in 720p mode must be switched on every time it's used (you forget). No image stabilisation in 1080 mode. Low light performance poor. Menus clunky - I've managed to 'delete all' instead of deleting a single file. Output via video cable (when not using HDMI) is poor. Lightweight also means materials are a bit plasticky. Photo mode images are not great - plenty of pixels but lens is basic.

+ For the price it is an amazing camera, lacks a little in terms of some more of the basic features such as image stabilisation when recording in HD or taking a photo but for the price and it's overall size I'm not complaining!

- Could use some more basic functions.

+ A very complete package with a tripod; HDMI cable; AV cable; USB cable; lightweight mains charger.
Switches on when you lift the view finder; switches off if left unused. Great quality image in good lighting - mostly I'm using lower settings because my computer is happier with it; easy upload to Youtube; comes with an ArcSoft editor for Quicktime MP4 (and other formats). Incredibly portable and convenient. For general filming around town or day trips or on holiday and being able to carry it everywhere this is a much liked product.

- Any complaints I've heard about this and that really are not taking into account the size and price of this device. If I'd wanted a camcorder for every use; pro use or very low light levels I'd buy an up market model.

+ Easy to use, small fits in your pocket. Video quality is very good. For the price it's a great device. Very usefull.

- No image stabilzation which results in a wobbly video if you are not very very carefull how you move the camera. Not many features, photo quality is not very good. Has an incompatable format to directly plug into most tv's. You need a very fast pc to playback the files.

+ Very portable and for the size of the camera it offers decent if not spectacular footage. But for the price, can this really be a major negative?
Looks great on YouTube footage.
Comes with everything you need, case, strap etc and looks good.
Good brand.

- Wash out of colours sometimes, especially bright white on a summers day. Zoom is not the best at all, would suggest not using it - but would say this for all digital zooms. Again at this price point is that really a problem?
The battery will not charge via USB.

Rich, Trowbridge

+ Excellent quality in a tiny package - much smaller and easier to carry than the Flip Ultra, plus expandable memory and rechargeable battery. I bought it for a 2 week holiday where I'm not taking a laptop - the Flip would have run out of recording space - and it's bulky. The Tosh is tiny and incredibly lightweight, with no apparent quality penalty. And half the price of a Flip!!!!

- May turn out to be less durable than a candy bar design - need to wait and see.

- Not so good in the dark....need to twiddle settings (especially white balance and exposure) to obtain natural colours..

Ray, Riseley , “Point & shoot” More like this »

+ small, light, fairly easy to use, loads of useful some essential extras included, good battery life, reasonable picture quality spoilt by the quality of lens and limited zoom, cheap.
For the price though it is fantastic-just spoilt by little niggles.

- Instructions when sold in UK should be ALL printed in English, not just part of them in multi languages, and the rest on CD. The software though easy to use, is very slow compared to others I have used. The sound quality and volume level are very poor. The buttons are to small, and when operated during recording ie zoom make very audible clicking noises on track. SD card should have been included.
