CONCLUSIONS The S20 has three distinct strengths and two glaring weaknesses. On the plus side, it is super slim, has a large (for its class, anyway) 3.0-inch display, and comes loaded with extras like the HDMI cable and mini tripod.

Sleek; slim design; Loads of extras; Large 3-inch display

Awkward menu navigation; Video quality just barely "good enough

When Toshiba announced this year that it would sell camcorders, it wasn't the first time the company was late to enter a market. After all, it was one of the last major PC manufacturers to jump on the netbook bandwagon.

The Toshiba Camileo S20 is a pocket camcorder capable of recording full High Definition video. In fact, pocket camcorders are a relatively new phenomenon that are characterised by their somewhat limited feature set – for their size and sheer portability though, they have proven to be very popular...

I have been using this disk as a backup drive for a couple years. It does its job very well. No need of external power supply, just plug it into a USB port and you are ready to go. Drive has been very reliable so far.

Bought this purely to record the interior of a house we were thinking of buying abroad to back up copious still pictures as a memory jogger when we came back to the UK. Very good externally not so good internally which was the whole point of buying it.

Small size; good picture in bright daylight conditions

Controls very small, poor instruction with camera, very poor in low light conditions; WARNING; No use with Apple Mac unless you convert all of the files

Great product. Easy to use. Compact, great quality!!! Got it for Christmas as a surprise. So happy I got it!!

this great took it to hong kong and pixs turned out great and the vid was top notch buy it

The first portable video cameras were so big they needed two people to carry them around. But camcorders have been getting smaller every year, and Toshiba is claiming yet another record with the Camileo S20.

Thinnest HD camcorder on market; Reasonably priced

Lacks manual controls; Image stabilisation not available in Full HD mode; Substandard image quality
