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. Therefore, allows you to capture people in the distance. It also has a 10x optical zoom and a digital zoom of 45, which. MOV files - are impressive, especially in bright conditions, though a lot of movement brings blur and footage is not always as sharp as it should be.As regards the technical specifications, features an image sensor type BSI CMOS 1/3.2″ with a resolution of 5 megapixels, a goal that has a focal distance equivalent to 4.95 to 49.5 mm and a fixed aperture of F2.8.
At least the HD results - which can be transferred to a PC or Mac as. It’s a process that is less than intuitive and takes a while to master - a rudimentary remote control would be useful here. The graphics in the corner now look decidedly low-res, while manually selecting exactly which photo or video you want to display requires using various controls. Hooking-up the S10 to a HDTV using its mini HDMI cable is a cinch, though the tiny LCD screen’s content is then blown-up to many times its size. That said, the narrow lens does mean you need to stand quite a distance from the camcorder if you want film the background.
Clear and with easy to understand onscreen menus, the screen is super-supple - it can be folded both outwards and turn clockwise, so you could easily film yourself doing a piece-to-camera. The 2.5-inch LCD screen itself is excellent. There is a limited 4x digital zoom (and only 2x for Full HD video), but this introduces softness and is also slow - and slightly jerky - to use.
The compact design also means a narrow lens, making it difficult to get much into the widescreen picture. Used in Full HD mode, that accounts for around two-and-a-half minutes of video better to invest a few quid in as large a SD card as you can afford - the maximum size the S10 can accept is 32GB, which will store roughly 8 hours of HD.
Yes, it offers Full HD (as well as standard definition) filming, but its 128MB internal memory is rather restrictive. Its small size, however, does impinge on its ambitions. After all, phones like Samsung’s are surely in the first wave of a tide of Full HD phones.įor now, a spend of £150 doesn’t sound too offensive, especially since the S10 can easily fit in a trouser or jacket pocket, and compares favourably with the likes of the Vado HD, Mino HD and Kodak models.
(Pocket-lint) - Forget that the all-conquering iPhone can’t do video aside from Samsung’s i8910 HD phone (which offers 720p HD recording), does any mobile phone offer movie making options above novelty quality? Step forward this pocket-sized HD shooter from Toshiba, which is one of a clutch of new products, that claim to put the new era of high-def at your fingertips and in your pockets.Ĭapable of shooting in Full HD as well as taking 5MP digital photos from within an 18mm-deep frame that’s little bigger than an iPhone, the S10 nevertheless seems like a short-term investment.
