Toshiba rolls out budget-priced Camileo H10 HD camcorder

It looks like those wanting to get some HD recoding done on the cheap but not willing to venture into some less familiar territory now have a new option to consider from Toshiba, which is set to release its new Camileo H10 camcorder. It'll give you the usual 720p recording, along with a 5x optical zoom, a 10-megapixel sensor, 64MB of memory, an SDHC card slot for expansion, image stabilization, motion detection and, of course, an HDMI output to let you view your low-budget masterpieces. No word on a release 'round these parts, unfortunately, but those in the UK can apparently get their hands on one at the end of the month for £180 ($360, or less once the VAT and whatnot are taken out of the equation).

64MB of memory? Lets see thats equal to about 5 pictures? Why not just include a floppy disk drive

Ooer interesting :)

If the picture quality is good enough this would suit my needs in a camcorder well *starts googling*

:D

Why would I need an HD camcorder when upscaling DVD's is good enough? Eh, Toshiba? Ehhhhh?

Actually I wish more cams had a 720p option. If the bitrate is high enough, it could be good for fast motion. And stuff.

First, 720p isnt the "usual". 1080p is the going res on any respectable camcorder these days.

Also, image stabilization is too broad a term. Im willing to bet its software based (the cheap & crappy kind) instead of optical based.

Don't those disposable digital cameras have higher memory tanks?

64MB of memory, I'm going to low rank myself just to show how I feel about that.

Score enother for the crack Engadget editorial staff.

(Should be "HD recording," not "recoding." I think. Unless I'm wrong, in which case, I'm coming across as a real douchebag (nay, a douche-nozzle) right about now.)

[Dan @ Jul 29th 2008 11:53AM]

another. -sigh- See, I still managed to come across as a douche-nozzle.
