Toshiba intros Camileo Pro digital video camera
Toshiba looks set to release a new digital video camera for those interested in a little point and shoot action, with its new Camileo Pro offering some slight advantages over the previous plain old Camileo. This one boasts a 7 megapixel sensor, according to Le Journal du Geek, and will capture 640 x 480 video in either MPEG-4 or AVI formats, with a 2.5-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, SD card slot, and 64MB of internal storage rounding out the specs. While there doesn't appear to be any word of a North America release, those in Europe will be able to get their hands on one for 199€ ($268).

Wow. Never would think Toshiba would rebrand a cheap hybrid cam and put their name on it.
It's a Digilife DDV-760

I think thats a great idea. Somewhere for lower-end cameras to go, as opposed to much more expensive cameras. I like it.

The 'toy' has a few issues:
a) can it support SDHC cards or is the limit really just 2GB, then this would be that at lowest resolution (320*240) it could only store 2 hours of video
b) is the LCD switched off when the camera is on motion detection mode? Otherwise the battery will last only for 3 hours.
c) can you actually switch on the motion detection mode when the camera is on battery or is this a webcam feature?
If all of the above would work and if the motion detection feature would work outdoors then this would be a great and very serious tool for animal research.
