I would like to purchase this camcorder, purely to get good video quality. I have heard a lot of negative revews but I mean I just want it for good quality! If you hate or love it tell me why and PLEASE tell me a good alternative (FOR UNDER $200) However the alternative has to be HD and I would love for it to have a MIC jack!!! Any Ideas?
Wow. Look at all of these negative comments. I just ordered one of these. Hopefully the one year plan I purchased covers the easy breaking problem. What about after that year? I like things that last longer than the warranty.
I purchased a Camileo X100 but when I pull the video off the camera the audio is saved in VBR format so my editing software (sony vegas pro) can't work with it. How do I sort this problem out?
Hi! Sorry to hear your problems with the camcorder. We can suggest you to contact our customer service because if the product is still under warranty you can change it
Does this camcorder have a video light for low light recording? I know it has flash light for still shots but how about low light video recording? Does it have both?
Is it possible for the camcorder to switch to analog "IN" instead of "OUT?" I can playback videos on my TV but i would like to be able to record or view from sources outside of the camcorder.
@ToshibaMultimedia i have a right of screen kind of burn from when new and I thought it was just the screen, but it transfers onto the computer. also the touch scrolling on the camera sceen is really slow and the battery lasts about 20 minutes. help?
I have never seen a Camcorder that Kills SDHC cards and this one does! there is also "No Manual Focus" So when you are filming something moving it looks like crap! As well as the first day i used it the camera kept locking up on a black screen Toshiba should be ashamed of themselves to release something like this! Im sending this piece of crap back But what makes me really mad is the fact that No ones going to refund me the 2 SDHC cards this camera ruined Im also out 10 bucks shipping!
This camera is a piece of crap So far it has destroyed 2 SDHC cards class 10 8GBs, First tried my first card brand new went to format card said I had 1 hour and 40 minutes of record time when i hit record Said Memory full after trying it several times couldn't get it to work tried to put it back in my computer so i could just use it in my Ps3 or something boom Not even windows could reformat it, I thought I had a bad card so I tried another new one same problem Said the memory full DONT BUY!
@Toshibamultimedia when I comnect it to a pc 2 files are created from 1 video alone one, plays slower than normal and the other play regular but with way less quality than how it show on the cam. . Help Please. . .
You need a high performance PC to play those videos in Full HD. Can you please try recording video in HD and playback afterwards on your PC? In this way we can understand if it is a problem of the resolution of the videos. Thank you very much
@AllHipHopHead sometimes you record in 720p 60fps but when you play it the player might have slowed it down to the default 29 fps making the video appear to be slow motion hope that helped
I have this camcorder and I enjoy it! I have one question, does the light "thingy" on the front of the camcorder actually flash or come on and if so, how???
is it possible to change the settings of the zoom speed on this camera? and also turn the audi recording level up? i only ask because the audio is extremely quiete when recording and the zoom is either incredibly slow or hardly existant, thanks
you can have a look at all the technical specifications of the CAMILEO X100 by visiting the website of Toshiba Multimedia (toshiba-multimedia[dot]com)
How to edit your files: 1. Open them in Windows Movie Maker... 2. Go to make movie... 3. Select make custom setting... 4. set wished resolution... 1920x1080 for full HD 5. IMPORTANT: Set bitrate to 10000 6. Set frame rate 7. Now you save the movie with the custom setting 8. Drag and drop into wished editor... 9. ??? 10. Profit
Hi, if you want you can share your suggestions with all the users here on YouTube or on our Facebook page (facebook.com/toshibamultimedia). Thank you very much
@RatePending2 I'm having the same issue. I like the camera itself, but If I can't get footage into Premiere, it's pretty much a useless hunk of plastic.
look at this video "Toshiba Camileo x100 Test" (by smr597bmx) and read the description you can find interesting suggestions about editing videos from CAMILEO X100 with Sony Vegas
I have to return this camera. The codecs are rubbish. Nothing but crappy editing software can handle it. Even Vegas 9.0 can't properly handle it. It doesn't convert well either. Sound or video is missing from converted files. Do us all a favor and don't use AVC in an AVI. I just wish i knew it would be this impossible to edit the files. You know not everyone just uploads raw video to youtube. DON"T BUY THIS CAMERA! YOU CAN"T DO ANYTHING WITH THE FILES!
look at this video "Toshiba Camileo x100 Test" (by smr597bmx) and read the description you can find interesting suggestions about editing videos from CAMILEO X100.
you can compare the two products looking at products pages on our website (toshiba-multimedia[dot]com). Basically the Camileo X100 has a 10x optical zoom, 10 MP CMOS sensor while the Camileo H30 has a 5x optical zoom. Also the dimensions of the two camcorders are different; it depends on your needs!
the battery lasts for approx 2hours (video recording time) and if you have an SD card of 1GB these are the different capacities according to which mode you chose for recording:
FHD (1080p / 30fps) = 12 min.
FHD (1080i / 60) = 12 min.
HD (720p / 60) = 15 min.
HD (720p / 30) = 30 min.
VGA = 60 min.
For further information please visit our website!:)
I recently purchased the x100 and am really disappointed in the photo quality. Daytime pics are ok but any photos taken where the flash is necessary just overexpose completely. Ive tried all settings repeatedly. Any ideas?
Can you post for download somewhere a native video file captured by this camera? I want to test if the format can be converted to a Mac friendly editable format for Final Cut.
based on price and features, best HD camcorder on the market!! now the list price as of July 17th 2010, only $349 list price, from Toshiba, only $100 dollars less! great price, far better than the H30
Hi Jonnyfyy! Please do not use the low resolution thm-file for any video editing software - it makes no sense. Use the normal high res. file 1080i60. This file you can also upload on YouTube, but it takes a while. Have a nice day!
@ToshibaMultimedia I believe other than the 1080i60 setting, the rest have no problems importing to video editors (in my case it's Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate Collection) for edit. In the 1080i60 setting the video editor is not able to accept it, & uploading that same original .avi clip to youtube would show up artifacts.
Check out my youtube video clips "Camileo X100 problem" and you'll understand what I mean ;)
BTW smr597bmx, EinkOLED & myself encountered the same video problem when we've captured it in 1080i60 ('highest setting') & try to edit in our video editor or upload directly to YouTube.
Do get the technicians to resolve the problem soon, cos it would be a shame if this problem still persist in the upcoming newer models of the Toshiba HD camcorder! =X
I've hands on this camera during the PC SHOW & it amazes me with the indoor low light video quality. I still believe there's room for improvement, since there are plenty of functions that are not available as compared to the big boys like Canon & Sony (eg. Focus & Exposure lock)
smr597bmx has proven that with creativity you still can achieve great cinematic shots! Keep it up Toshiba =D
@jonnyfyy The Zoom capabilities is not that impressive, i know, but Sony, (don't know about Canon) goes overboard on the zoom the zooming is 60/2000 Optical/Digital, why even have Digital Zoom that high, use it to zoom in too much will actually lower the quality. my tip, choose the camcorder that fit's your needs, based on Zoom I don't really know if you'll need the 60X zoom on Sony Camcorders though, but I am buying the camcorder shown in the video, great camcorder.
I agree with you in terms of price-performance ratio for Toshiba Camileo X100. I'm not boasting about any particular brand, zoom or megapixels. At the end get what suits your needs and budget.
I'm waiting for the Toshiba Camileo SX900 to hit the stores of Singapore. Though it's video quality may be a little less compared to X100, there's manual focus control/ lock function and a nicer Canon-like user interface.
The zoom is excellent and at 1080i/60 it captures every detail more than what the 3 inch monitor is capable of displaying, which is why it is better viewed on a 1080 display without PAL.
I have Hitachi's rebranded version of this, exactly the same camera except the rebrand and reduction in price.
A remote control is missing.
For the price excellent value for money however the CMOS sensor has trouble producing the right colours and adjusting to bright light, another familiar problem is the ticking sound.
