I bought this camera for a trip to London this August. Sicne the camera supports Full HD (1920x1080@30fps) I walways tried to record in this resolution.But from time to time my camera just got frozen during the recording and everithing what being recorded at this moment lost. I had to take the battery away to restart my camera.I very regret I lost my records...Another problem is that video in Full HD sometimes were recorded in snaps. The picture is not smooth, it freezes for several seconds, then plays, then freezes again although the sound is smooth and uninterrupted. Finally I had to switch the video less quality format (1280x720@30fps).In all other aspects the camera is good - it's small (pocket-size), easy in operation. If it's broken or lost you will not regret loosing [$] as if you had expensive camera :)

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
Great camera, especially for outside activities. Indoors, it's OK, but a lack of strong natural light will be an issue for this camera. For it's intended purpose, it's AWESOME.

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
The product is very easy to use even if you are a novice with electronics. I like the clarity in the screen and the over all video and pics that it takes. Found a very easy way to convert the files using Vero since i use a Mac and this camera is not compatible. Not compatible with Mac is the only downfall i found with this camera.

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
Just from the short time I've owned it, I am thoroughly impressed by the awesome little thing.
It's light, it doesn't feel cheap, easy to use, awesome quality, clarity, price, performance, features
Great deal since you get all the extras like the mini-hdmi cable and the tripod. Everything you need is included in this camera (except a memory card, but that's not an issue)

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
This camera is awesome. I use it for filming youtube vids and my brother scootering. the cons are that when you film in slow motion, it is zoomed all the way. Also, the sound isnt the best. Other than that it is probably one of the best videocameras ive gotten for this kind of price. The accesories that come with are very handy. So ya, its very, very good.

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
Wanted something inexpensive that did not take up alot of space--I leave it in my car to use as a camera/video in case I were to have a wreck again. Want to have some way to document what happens and position of cars !! The only thing I don't know yet is how durable the battery will be or how often it will have to be charged.

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
Takes great video and image stabilization is also better than I expected. Very small size (about the size of my iphone). Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the button layout. It takes a little getting used to. Overall excellent small form factor camcorder and I would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder:
Not only for Skiing, but for Mountain Biking up in the high country here in Colorado. Toshiba was one of the manufactures in Japan that helped develop the HDMI connection, and they're a leader in the high tech area. It's inexpensive, light, small, compact, and it has a great look to it.
