But, here is another cool gadget, which has slim fit and strong performance. But this gadget is never gonna let you get a poor dinner table as a payment of bringing cool one into your arms. Toshiba's new slim camcorder, " Camileo S10" is the hero of this article.


Camileo S10 has a 1080p resolution and 30fps frame rate. But its price is just 129.99 pounds(= 260,000 KRW). With interest-free installment, you can get this gorgeous one without making your purse light. Here is the features of S10.

Without an extra explanation, you cannot believe that the full HD camcorder not only with image stabilization function and low light mode, but also YouTube upload facility can belongs to you just at the price lower than 130 pounds.

But, I've got a question. " Is the quality of movie recorded by cheap 1080p camcorder also good enough to enjoy sharp edge of the face of your lovely children or lovers?" . So, I searched YouTube for proof movies samples.

Saying the conclusion first, "Not Bad". Watch it yourself.



You can see some of frames not run smoothly. At first, I think it could be come from transfer rate of Internet. Playing back to the former frames which have done transferred, however, I can still find some abrupt connection between frames in the movie. But, I cannot decide it is come from the performance specification of S10, because the quality of movie could be lost while transferring to YouTube or extracted by the codec provided by YouTube. There may be another reasons about this phenomenon. Whatever, even though it's the limitation of cheap camcorder, I don't matter if I can get 1080p camcorder with stabilization, YouTube uploading features.

Choice is yours. As for me, I am crying S10 doesn't have any plan for being introduced in Korea. I need businees trip to abroad!
