Out of the box it didn't work.
By Roundguy2 (cnet.com) Read the full review
Out of the box this device had issues. Would not charge correctly and could not be recognized by my PC or MAC. LCD screen went dark after only 2 hours of use and never came back on. Toshibas tech support was terrible as well. The tech guys had no idea...
Compact design and easy to hold
Complex instructions and buttons way too sensitive ; Quality of product very poor ; Battery discharges quickly

Great design, bad image quality
By RazorMaker (cnet.com) Read the full review
I was drawn to this camcorder for two main reasons: size and flash card storage. I paid 169 euros for the camera, 20 euros for a spare battery, another 20 for a memory card and about 20 for a good, padded camera case. Two or three weeks later, the...
Compact, easy to use, well designed... You flip it open, point and push the record button, and you get video. Same for photos. Viewing is easy too: flip, push, select and play. It is roughly the size of a smart phone and very light
Bad image quality, the video format isn't widely supported, need lots of CPU speed and memory for decompressing, images are always blurry. Burn spots appeared in images after one week. Battery gets very hot. Computers don't read card or see photos

The You Tube upload feature is a very nice nice bonus! Comes with a bunch of cables!
This is a great outdoor mini cam!!!! 720i is more than sufficient and it has a good digital zoom. I bought 2 of these for a friend and her son in Croatia and they fell in love with the quality. Add a 16gb SDC and you can record for ever!!! The camera...
Not an intuitive interface...it will take some work and getting used to. Doesn't come with a Secure Digital Card but they are cheap

Toshiba Camileo S20
By Dana Wollman (laptopmag.com)
This ultralight camcorder's optical zoom and HDMI cable/tripod bundle make it a good value.
In designing the Camileo S20, its first pocket camcorder, Toshiba paid close attention to features, but not enough to details. For a reasonable In designing the Camileo S20, its first pocket camcorder, Toshiba paid close attention to features, but not...
However, the S20 is more difficult to use and hold than it should be, and while the image quality is good it's not the best. Kodak shows the benefits of having a digital imaging background with its superior waterproof In designing the Camileo S20, its...

Toshiba Camileo S20
By Tim Moynihan (pcworld.com)
It may be thin and light--even for a pocket camcorder--but the ultraslim Toshiba Camileo S20 ($180 as of 5/7/2010) packs more features into its frame than any high-definition pocket camcorder we've tested to date.
Time-lapse mode, white balance presets, fun extras ; LED lamp for low-light shooting ; Very slim and light
Menu navigation and zoom can be frustrating ; No built-in USB connector ; Plastic, cheap-feeling build
For sheer bang for the buck, look no further than the fun-filled, 1080p-shooting Toshiba Camileo S20. It's unsurpassed in features, but we've seen better usability and build quality.

Toshiba Camileo S20 review
By Joanna Stern (engadget.com)
Say what you will, but Toshiba has managed to time the Camelio S20 just right -- it was the very same day that our Flip Slide HD frustrations were reaching epic levels, that the $179.99 pocket camcorder showed up on our doorstep. The thin cam, which...
Sleek and thin pocketable design ; Solid 720p video quality ; Captures decent 5-megapixel stills
Confusing software interface ; Cluttered controls ; No zoom in 1080p setting
So, did the Camelio S20 turn around our pocket cam woes? Jump on past the break for our full review of Tosh's latest camcorder contender. Toshiba Camileo S20 review Hardware Toshiba is all about touting the S20's thin 17mm (.6-inch) body, and frankly...

Toshiba Camileo S20 review
By Jonathan Parkyn (cnet.co.uk)
The Toshiba Camileo S20 is a great piece of design for a very attractive price, but don't let that blind you to that fact this is a budget camcorder with performance limitations that reflect its price tag.
Small, slimline design ; Large 3-inch LCD screen ; Good selection of accessories supplied
Poor video performance ; Awkward menu navigation ; Certain settings reset to default when powered down
We like the Toshiba Camileo S20 because we like cool-looking gadgets, and this tiny, shiny video cam is nothing if not cool-looking. But make no mistake, despite its classy design, this is a budget product at its heart, and picture quality will reflect...
It's fun to use, easy to carry and highly affordable but the Camileo S20 is a camcorder with strictly limited abilities on the performance side.

Toshiba Camileo S20
By James Morris (trustedreviews.com)
The Toshiba Camileo S20 is certainly a great-looking pocket camcorder but how well does it perform under testing?
Thinnest HD camcorder on market ; Reasonably priced
Lacks manual controls ; Image stabilisation not available in Full HD mode ; Substandard image quality
The Toshiba Camileo S20 is certainly a great-looking camcorder, and you’re likely to receive admiring glances after pulling it out of your pocket (unless you chose the pink version…). At around £150, it’s very reasonably priced, too, and this includes...
However, image quality is behind pocket Internet camcorders such as the Flip Video Ultra HD and Creative Vado HD in low light. So whilst it's good value, the Camileo S20 only offers the video capabilities you would expect at this price.

Toshiba Camileo S20
By George Cole (reghardware.co.uk)
A decent performer with a nice price and a good set of accessories. Shame about the clunky menu system though.
When you consider what you get for your dosh, the Camileo S20 offers very good value for money. It's compact, includes HD video, has loads of useful accessories and offers a pretty good performance. Non-Windows users would be wise to check thoroughly...
Yet those among the MS faithful looking for a budget HD pocket camcorder should certainly give this model some thought.
