Exceptional functionality

Dedicated YouTube™ and Picasa upload software, allowing users to upload video or images to their online profiles and share with friends and family without hassle. In addition the Camileo S30 supports SD cards up to 64GB, providing ample space for recording high definition video and fast transfer between camcorder and personal computer. With the new Pause Button, you can stop the clip and then restart filming from when you left off, meaning you only have one file to transfer once you finish filming.

Special Features

With in built special effects in video mode, you can be really creative when capturing footage. Pre record function records 3 seconds of footage before you press record so you never miss that special moment. Slow motion, time lapse and motion detection features help you capture some fantastic footage with no editing required.

Capture high resolution video and images the way you want to! Multiple scene modes allow you to choose the scene setting that best fit your subject – skin mode for portraits, night mode, backlight or auto. Choose a special filter for black and white, classic, negative or leave the camera to automatically select the best option depending on what you are recording. You can even change the white balance or ISO settings too, leaving you in complete control of your footage! Play slideshows of video's and photo's back via your TV over HDMI®. Just simply connect the Camileo S30 with the cable included and select the slideshow mode or continuous playback to enjoy your HD video and high resolution photo's straight on your HD TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Video Recorder is a little Gem 25 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'd never been interested in video recorders before now. When my son was born 20 years ago I bought one with the intention of recording his childhood, but it was too bulky, meaning the picture bumped about and the sound banged everytime the camera touched something; So it never got used and became just a waste of money.I reluctantly purchased my Toshiba S30 to take a video of my wifes dance classes to put on her website; I chose the Toshiba after reading some of the excellent reviews and watching some amateur U-Tube offerings. Out of the bunch it seemed to offer the best value.
All I can say is Wow! Its a dream to use and i seem to be taking it everywhere. Its small and compact so easy to slip in my pocket. Its picture quality is excellent, and because its so light the picture is much more stable, which also means the sound is much less clumpy. Video recorders have certainly come a long way. There seem to be no problems taking low light pictures in village halls etc, and i'm impressed in how easy it is to upload the video's to our websites and facebook.
I can thoroughly recommend the Toshiba S30, Its a little Gem.Toshiba Camileo S30 Full HD Digital Camcorder - Black

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent value for money 5 April 2011
By jayne
I wanted a camcorder that was easy to set up and carry about with me, this little gem does every thing i want and more.
all the user interface is clear and easy to understand, the touch screen is great and the equipment you get with this cam is really good value best ive seen at this price range i would give it a 9/10 the lost point is for lack of sd card but i would have to be really mean to put that in the proper score. in my humble opinion toshiba have got it right with this cam well done.......

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazon to the Rescue! 26 April 2011
By awp278
Unfortunately after less than 10 uses this item cut off mid-record. Believing it to be a low battery I charged the item. It came on, then cut off again as soon as I entered into the menu command screen. There has been no sign of life since! When it worked, the item was very good and I had no problems with its build or record quality, but because of the fault that rendered it useless, I could have only given it 3 stars at best (4 if it had continued to work with no problems). But if you're like me, then you probably only read the 5 & 1 star ratings, hence my rating.

Toshiba - I wish I could make comment on their customer service, but as I never got through to anyone in the 4+hrs on the phone my only comment is 'dissapointing'.

Amazon - Once again they don the shining armour and ride to the rescue; although the item was past its 30 day return point (about 50 days I think). One email that got a reply requesting I attempt to contact Toshiba, and an 8min phonecall to Amazon (from start to finish) when my 'Toshiba' attempt(s) failed, concluded in one very satisfied customer!
Anyone can sell you something, but it's the customer care you receive when a problem arises that really counts; Amazon has never let me down on the very few occasions this has happened. A new order was raised and I will hopefully be able to leave a more reflective review of the camcorder at a later date. Until then, credit where it's due, Amazon = Awesome 5 star service!
