Toshiba Camileo B10 HD Recording with 2-Inch LCD Screen (Black)

I bought the Camileo B10 for it's ability to take still photos along with video. While I love my Flip Ultra HD, the lack of still photo capability is too limiting. While overall I am pleased with the B10 there are a couple cons which I think potential buyers should consider. First the B10 has a small LED video light built in. While the light is fairly dim, it's better than nothing for recording video in a dimly lit room. As for still photos however, this same LED takes the place of a flash and fails miserably. Next, the B10's shiny finish is somewhat slippery so hold on tight while filming. Bottom line, if you want an all around compact device for "both" quality video and stills, look to the "Dual Camera" Xacti line from Sanyo. On the other hand, the B10 is fine for outdoor use or in brightly lit situations.

I bought a refurbished Camileo B10 from Woot (an Amazon company) because, according to the specs, it could do time-lapse. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the camera will not operate when it is charging, and there is no way to turn off the battery-guzzling screen. This limits any time-lapse recording to the amount of time that the camera will run before the battery runs out, which turns out to be about 3.5 hours. The camera has been out long enough for Toshiba to fix these two issues, but they have turned a deaf ear to the many complaints that can be found on-line (including the Toshiba website).

Bought it to video horses in training. The zoom is TERRIBLE! Grainy with any amount of zoom. Powers on and off on its own, causing the battery to run down. I didn't figure out what was happening to the battery until it was too late to return it. Definitely didn't like the slick surface of the camera. Had to use stick on bling to have something to grip. Ended up purchasing a Cisco Ultra Flip. It does a great job with the fast motion of the horses.

I've had mine 3 days. I've made a side-by-side recording comparison with my Kodak Playsport, which you can find by searching YouTube or try this link: . Copy and paste it.

I put both cameras on a bracket and attached the bracket to a tripod. I recorded simultaneously a busy intersection and then cut segments from each camera's total 15minute recording. I played corresponding short segments from each one after the other, so as to give an A-B comparison.

The Kodak Playsport average bitrate was 11,996 kbps, the Toshiba Camileo 9,401 kbps. The Kodak file was 1.15 GB and the Toshiba, 921.51 mb.

The Kodak resolution was better, but the color and exposure on the Toshiba was superior. The Toshiba LCD was more viewable. The Kodak is waterproof, the Toshiba, not. Both have replaceable batteries and both have HDMI ports. The controls are more convenient on the Toshiba because it has separate video and still-picture buttons. With the Kodak, you must enter the menu system.

I like the Camileo B10! I've not experienced any abnormalities in the operation as have some reviewers. Got my fingers crossed because I just ordered a spare battery for it.
