With the glossy exterior, red (or black) accessories and silver frame, which make the entire body nicely aesthetic, Toshiba Camileo S20 is all about touting its thinness as 17mm even with a 3-inch swiveling LCD screen extended. Though it is sold at a pretty low price (about $150), Camileo S20 serves as high video quality as any other HD pocket camcorders, shooting sharply and smoothly but slightly muted videos in 1080p (30fps) mode. Despite some minor defects such as the unhandy controls around the cam where one may easily make users confused, Camileo S20 is a worth buying for most of the consumers.
