The Camileo had some obvious difficulty with video in bright sunlight. Notice the image distortion and artifacts. The camera was also prone to blowouts. A Pre-rec function is also available. It buffers a few seconds of video at all times, and then adds it on the beginning when you press record. This effectively acts as if you pressed the button a few seconds earlier, stopping you from missing important events. Time lapse options include capturing a frame every 1, 3 and 5 seconds. So there are certainly a few more shooting modes available than just point and shoot. Buried in the chaos are plenty of options and settings. A motion-sensing option will start recording video whenever it senses motion. There's a slow-motion mode for catching fast action, a time-lapse mode, a number of art filters for photos and video, and more. There are a lot of granular controls available as well—white balance, resolution, ISO, scene modes, and more can all be tweaked—but the interface is so complicated many of the options are hard to use. Make no mistake: This isn't a simple Flip-like user experience.

The X-Sports’ menu provides you with the usual array of video options, and you can choose to shoot Full HD video at up to 60fps. If you reduce the resolution to 720p you can even shoot at 120fps, which is useful for creating slow-motion videos. The menu is easy to enough to use, considering the limited amount of buttons, and we had no trouble seeing it outdoors in daylight. Although we’ve not been hugely impressed by the image quality afforded by previous Toshiba Camileos, the X400 provides surprisingly decent performance. In good lighting, colours are bright and faithful, with a relatively sharp picture. Low light performance is a little less exciting. Although the X400 does maintain a reasonable level of brightness, but the white balance isn’t very accurate and there’s a noticable loss in detail.But it is impossible to get past the iffy video and still-picture quality. If it could shoot good video, it would be a must-buy. Without it, the Camileo S30 is merely a toy.

The biggest weakness is the sound from the internal microphone, and there are no provisions for using an external one, which rules the P20 out for anyone wanting to add a more professional touch to their home movies. The 'red eye' phenomenon is caused by too much light in too little time getting to eyes of the people in the picture. This effect is even stronger in a dark atmosphere. The following can be done to prevent it: don't let people look directly into the camera, create more light, take the picture closer to the subject or decrease the use of the zoom function.The S20 follows the trend of the last couple of years and provides built-in Internet connectivity. As soon as you plug the device into a PC via USB, you will be prompted to install the H.264 codec from the S20’s onboard memory, if it isn’t on your system already. The YouTube Direct software will then start up straight from device as well. However, its features are extremely limited, offering just the ability to input and save your YouTube login, and then upload your video as a public or private clip. You can’t even provide a YouTube category or tagging information. Speaking specifically of video quality with the Toshiba Camileo X150 you can get Full HD movies in MP4 format, so with a maximum resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels, of course with the ability to choose other resolutions, up to the lowest VGA. Of course, there the opportunity to take photos in JPEG format, in this case 12 megapixel, which translates into a maximum resolution of 4,608×3,456 pixels. It is certainly emphasized the ability to take pictures even while recording a video. Toshiba has provided some more fun-oriented facilities. There’s a motion sensing setting, which triggers recording when there’s action in the frame. The time lapse mode records a frame every 1, 3 or 5 seconds. There’s also a slow motion option which grabs video at four times the normal speed but at a lowly 320 x 240 resolution.
