Digital Home Thoughts: Toshiba Enters U.S. Camcorder Market

"Toshiba has decided to test the waters of the digital camcorder market in the United States, today unveiling Camileo line, aiming at a range of every day consumers with a range of sizes and capabilities. The initial offerings include the pocket-sized S20, the compact H30, and the higher-end X100, and all shoot full-HD video, sport 3-inch LCD monitors, and feature one-button uploading to YouTube."

Toshiba has introduced three new affordable camcorders for the US market. They are all fairly basic models, but at affordable prices. The S20 does full HD, is only two thirds of an inch thick, and has an MSRP of only $179. Assuming it will have a slightly cheaper street price, it looks like a nice little camcorder that you could throw in your pocket to record all those spur of the moment events. The other models add more features and quality lenses at a higher price point and larger size. So if you are in the market for a no frills flash based camcorder check out these new Toshiba offerings.
