 Awesome Pocket Camcorder September 4, 2010
J. Reed
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was considering purchasing either this Camileo S20 or the Flip 2nd Gen Brushed Metal model. Obviously I ended up choosing the Camileo S20, and here is why:
**I looked at the many reviews of the Flip model, and didn't like what people had to say. Many reviews complained about the bulit-in USB connector not fitting any of their USB ports for uploading or charging to the PC. Eventually Flip finally responded to this major concern, after denying the issue for a long time, leaving their early customers out to dry according to the reviews. Not great customer service in my opinion, and others that had their FLip break down had much trouble with customer service in getting it fixed. Read the reviews for yourself. There are many complaints BEYOND the supposedly resolved USB issue. The Camileo doesn't have many reviews, but the ones it has are good.
**Even if the Flip's USB arm is truly fixed, I prefer connecting my camcorder with a USB WIRE. It sounds much better than expecting your Flip to float in the air while connected to your PC. Using a wired connection you can set the Camileo camera in the floor, on top of your PC tower, on your desk, ect.
**The Camileo can shoot in 1080p (without zoom or stabilization) or 720p with these features enabled. The Flip max resolution is 720p only. (And now that I have the Camileo for myself, both of the higher resolutions look absolutely brillant in bright outdoor environments. As others have stated, the low-light indoor video looks OK at best. This is how all pocket cams are apparently though, and reviews of the Flip's low light video doesn't sound any better.)
**Camileo has a 3-inch LCD screen, the Flip is only 2-inches.
**Camileo has a much greater value. As of this review, the Camileo is $50 dollars cheaper than the Flip. The Camileo does not have the built-in 8GB storage like the Flip. Once could buy a 8GB HDCP card for $15 dollars here on Amazon, equaling this Flips spec. Even better, you could expand the storage all the way to 32 GB if you want, while the Flip is locked-in at only 8GB forever. Let's say you buy the 8GB card for the Camileo. You are still saving $35 dollars in comparison, and we haven't even got to the other great things packed in the Camileo box....
**Superior Accessories. The Camileo comes packed with an AC adapter, perfect for when you don't want to lug around your computer to charge up the power. The Flip not only does not come with an AC adapter, the official model costs $13 dollars, and multiple reviews of it say it is faulty, and causes the Flip to shut down because of overheating, defeating the point of this accessory altogether. The Camileo also comes with a free tripod. Flip owners have to pony up an extra $9 dollars for one. HDMI cables for direct HDTV viewing? Free with the Camileo, $14 dollars for the Flip. USB cables are also free with the Camileo, and $14 dollars for the Flip if you are like me and don't like the idea of the built-in arm attatchment on the Flip. I am not sure if the Flip comes with a standard AV cord for older TVs, as it isn't a listed accessory, but the Camileo DOES come with one free as well. You also get a free travel case with the Camileo, the FLip cases start at $7 dollars and up. Doing the math, the Flip costs $86 dollars more, and you are still stuck with a faulty AC adapter and may not even have standard AV cables.
**I cannot speak to the video files on the Flip, but the Camileo videos save to the PC in AVI files, which can be edited either with the included software, or better yet, Windows Movie Maker easily and immediately after upload with no conversion needed. Maybe the Flip does too, I don't know. Both have instant Youtube uploads, so that one is a wash.
**CONCLUSION: The Camileo has better specs with the larger LCD screen, and higher 1080P video resolution.The Camileo is $86 dollars cheaper after considering the need to purchase an 8GB card for Camileo and purchasing a boatload of accessories for Flip.Camileo can be expanded to 32GB, the Flip is locked in at 8GB. The Camileo USB connection is superior and more accessible than the FLip IMO. Flip has a spotty customer service department, Toshiba has always been good to me in the past, and I haven't even needed them with the Camileo. This Camileo model does not have the massive advertising campaign that the Flip does, so Toshiba is able to pass the saving on to consumers. Flip might have the "coolness" factor due to being all over television, but I would rather have a superior camera at a cheaper cost, so I went with the Camileo.
This camcorder is worth every penny! September 3, 2010

I just got this camcorder a few days ago and I am nothing but impressed at the quality. This camcorder has a reasonable low end price and is well worth it, not to mention everything is included like case, tripod ect. except for the memory card. I was skeptical about the size and shooting qualities when I orderd this but now I can definately see that toshiba has made a well made product. The camcorder is light weight and plastic which gives you a feeling that it is very cheaply made and will not perform well. However that thought completely flys out the window when you use it for the first time. The movie picture quality was outstanding and you can select between diffrent shooting qualities like 1080p, 720p, wvga, and vga, which is great for a unit this compact. It is very light weight and can easily fit in your pocket or on your belt loop with the included case. Battery life is about 2 hours which is kind of low opperating time but is still worth it. The stableazation mode does not work in full 1080p but works from 720p down, its not the best stableazation but it still helps and works well. You will only get better if you spend in the $400 range of camcorders. The built in light really helps in low light conditions and is very usefull. I really have nothing negative to say about this camcorder, except the digital zoom works well but would only be better if it had an optical zoom but thats somthing that I can live without. The camcorder also takes in movie mode still photos at 2 and 5 mp. which is great along with having just a picture mode so the camcorder also acts as your digital camera too. Overall this camera is a great value and I couldnt be happier with my purchace. Great job toshiba!
Love it! August 25, 2010

Great camera August 8, 2010
V. Burke
Great quality, great price. Careful taking pictures - it took a while to fine tune "expertise" at taking a picture because it is sensitive to movement, but it performs extremely well and the video is amazing. Easy to carry, easy to use, and comes with a tripod, case, etc. to make it an even better value.
 Doesn't work with Mac August 7, 2010

I loved this little camera the moment I got to hold it. Went to a party, shot about 1 hr.of film, only to find out it doesn't work with Mac (I have a MacBookPro). I had to ask a friend who has a PC to help me download the video to make a dvd. I never had that happen to cameras I had. (first time). Very dissapointed. It says right on the box: for windows7 or vista (I should have read it).
