Toshiba Camileo BW10 review: Toshiba Camileo BW10

Toshiba Camileo BW10

The ; 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

If you're looking for a Flip-style slab in a sport camcorder, the Toshiba Camileo BW10 fits the bill. It offers a rugged design — it survived our drop tests — and consumer testers liked the simple menus. Video quality was fine, but photos...

Toshiba Camileo BW10

So long as you're not expecting Hollywood-esque footage, the BW10 from Toshiba is a decent (and cheap) waterproof camcorder.

Lightweight, very portable ; Well priced ; Simple interface, very easy to pick up and start shooting

Only waterproof to 2m ; Horrible audio from the built-in microphone ; Very poor still image quality

Waterproof camcorders at a cheap price point are ideal for casual use and YouTube uploading, and that's the core group of users that the BW10 addresses. It's not going to be suitable to replace a dedicated still camera by the beach and its video...

Toshiba Camileo BW10

Summer is almost here and wouldn't it be nice if you have a video camera that can take images underwater? Toshiba's Camileo BW10 is one of the few pocket-sized video cameras in the market that is waterproof, allowing you to bring it to the poolside or...

Construction; Waterproof; Ease of use; Well-labelled buttons; 1080p recording; Compatible with SDXC cards

Lacks advanced settings; Using 10x digital zoom in video mode produces shaky footage; No video cable and AC charger included with the package

"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.

But too many warning of Lead & Mercury & caution battery can explode. Charging from my computer, it crashed my computer, so in reading the booklet, I will get a regular 120 V charger not included as the booklet describes. Haven't done all this yet,...

Toshiba Camileo BW10 Digital Camcorder

I didn't buy this to be a high-end camera solution. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter, who shows a talent for making movies. It syncs with her iPad (Camera Connection Kit), and lets her take movies that are good enough for her needs. The price...
