There's no mention of any of the Camileo camcorders on the USA website of Toshiba. Oddly, on their U.K. website, they have them listed under the Computer category.
In any case, I would hope the Camileo H20 and P30 have been greatly improved from the Camileo H10 from last year. A reviewer named Asher posted a review video on YouTube of the H10, which is not favorable and ends with a startling and hard to believe revelation about that model's true origin.

Hi guys,
I'm really tempted to buy one of these cams and use it as a safety long shot at weddings and events. Have you seen actual footage from this cam? Is there a rapidshare link to download some footage?

Any advice would be appreciated.

i have a camera like this, the Aiptek Action HD. they are nice cameras for what they cost, but I doubt you'll get a very professional looking picture out of them. Also they usually have autofocus that you can't turn off which might ruin your wideshot.

Thank you Peter.
I didn't notice that the AF canot turn off. This is a big problem when shooting in a place full of camera flashes....
Any other similar (cheap) option?
