Toshiba Camileo X400 128 MB Camcorder - Black

I took a long time to decide whether to buy this camcorder because of the mixed reviews and having had it for some time now I can see both points of view.Firstly,for the price this is an excellent first entry video camera for the casual user.Picture quality is good,battery life is fairly average ( I get about 45 minutes to an hour if you don't zoom,use playback etc which shortens the life considerably), spare batteries are reasonable and easily available,an 8gb or 16gb card give you lots of storage space and are relatively cheap to buy now.
It shoots in MP4 (easily usable in Moviemaker etc without having to convert )and the HD setting gives good quality images and it does have a pause button as you're filming which a lot of cameras at this price don't have.The only real gripe I've found which stops me giving it a higher rating is that the autofocus tends to 'hunt'for a subject when shooting, losing focus as it tries to lock on to the subject ( some better cameras have the ability to tap the screen and spot focus which would have solved this problem).So overall a great buy at the price but not perfect.

This camera is great for HD shooting for a casual camcorder user. Interface is intuitive and the overall image is well saturated with vibrant colours, the zoom is great (but need a steady hand or support) and the size is very manageable.

Firstly the battery life on this is rubbish aswel as NO THREAD to attach lenses on, which i did not relise at the time of buying this item,Which has serverly disapointed me. and at the momment i have taped my Iphones fisheye lens on and just zoomed in, which looks better than nothing. the touchscreen is responsive however one touch upload is hard to use.

top quality item. a lot of camera for the money.i have never owned a camcorder before should bought one years ago.i would recommend this item as a first buy.
