Toshiba Camileo BW10 Review

If you are looking for a simple camcorder to take with you on vacation, or carry in your handbag for unexpected moments, then the new Toshiba Camileo BW10 should be on your list. It's sand and water proof, weighs just 3.5-ounces, and is priced at $129, which doesn't exactly break the bank. It records 1080p HD videos and has a 10x digital zoom, to boot. Read on to find out if it's better than its competitors.The Camileo BW10 comes in stylish silver or a more playful yellow or turquoise color. Its black rubber casing looks a bit cheap when compared to the similarly priced Kodak Zi6 but it serves a purpose: Keeping the camcorder waterproof and shock resistant.Measuring 4.2 x 2.2 x 0.9 inches, and weighing a scant 3.5 ounces, the BW10 is easy to hold and fits in one hand with all the buttons a comfortable reach from the thumb. The controls are kept to a minimum and are situated on the lower half of the device. Surrounding a circular d-pad are buttons to record stills, video, review recordings, access settings, and delete. All are decently sized and spaced and make a satisfying click when pressed.The BW10 has a mini HDMI and a micro USB port on the side, while the battery and memory card are safely tucked away at the bottom of the device.
