The Worst Camera EVER

Bad autofocus

Great price for a nice camcorder

 

I have nothing to complain. I particularly like some of their fun features, like slow motion, time lapse, and even a minijack microphone input. The accessory bundle is also generous, making this a good value option if your budget is very tight.

Toshiba Camileo X400

 

Toshiba's Camileo X400 bundles a lot for the money.
