Toshiba Camileo BW10

Small and waterproof, the Toshiba Camileo BW10 can record your underwater adventure in 1080p.

Simple to use ; Light weight ; Waterproof ; Stabilization software ; Can take a picture while recording

Can only charge through USB ; Doesn't do well in low light situations ; Blotchy zoom ; Can't multi-delete or zoom-in on photos on device

Small, portable, and waterproof, the Toshiba Camileo BW10 is well suited for capturing moments from a summertime pool party. While quality isn't the greatest, it's effortless to use, and its anti-shake feature will appeal to users who want to capture...

Toshiba Camileo BW10 Camcorder (yellow)

Toshiba's Camileo BW10 is a simple, waterproof minicamcorder. And by simple, I mean it does little more than shoot full HD-resolution video and 5-megapixel photos on land and in the water to depths of 6.5 feet for up to 60 minutes. If you're looking...

The Toshiba Camileo BW10 is easy to use, waterproof, and small and lightweight.

The BW10 has almost no extra features, lacks embedded editing and sharing software, and produces merely passable HD video.

The Toshiba Camileo BW10 is a basic, waterproof minicamcorder that's good enough to capture a casual cannonball into a pool, but not more treasured memories.

Toshiba Camileo BW10 1080p Waterproof Camcorder

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

nbsp ; Excellent sound quality ; Adjustable ; Can withstand multiple drops ; Water-resistant ; Light weight and wraps up tightly for easy portability

nbsp ; Didn’t take much force to remove the headphones during our force test ; Consumer testers didn’t find them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time ; Didn’t always stay put during use for our consumer testers

"This camera shoot pretty decent video in high light."

If you just want to shoot video and then do edith with your own tools. You can't beat this. I picked mine up at HH Gregg for $59, display model.

Smiple, good video, no software needed. Records in MP4 which is easily viewable on Windows 7. Feels solid. Has a little on board memory.

Records in Mp4 Win xp dosen't like it. At least on one of my machines. Image is a bit shakey when walking. Of course digital zoom is useless.

Nice video camera

I have had this video cam for awhile now. I have yet to take it under water however I have used it during a winter rain storm and when it has snowed. It does the job well. The picture quality is good but not great. The zoom should never be used, I...

Toshiba Camileo Waterproof BW10

The product is over a fair item. Cons: (1) The battery life sucks. It would only last 30 min for me recording video and not the 1hr+ so many reviews claim. (2) - DON'T Touch the zoom! When taking pictures of any kind, the zoom makes everything look...

Best camera I've ever purchased

For $50, I wasn't expecting much, but I was excited that I'd be getting 1080p and and the capability to go underwater. I was totally wrong about my low expectations--this camera is great! I unboxed it and did some tests, all of which turned out great,...

Toshiba Camileo BW10 Review

I have been looking at Toshiba camcorders for a while, but I really got serious about buying one, when I took a trip to the Fiesta Texas theme park in San Antonio, Texas with my local marching band. I own a FUJIFILM FinePix S2950 and I was going to...
