Toshiba announces Camileo Clip, X200 and X400 camcorders

Not surprisingly, Toshiba is covering each of the bases at IFA today, with it now also announcing its latest batch of camcorders. That incorporates the Camileo Clip pictured above (which actually has a clip ’round back for hands-free shooting), in addition to the more traditional Camileo X200 and X400, all three of which record 1080p video and rely exclusively on SD cards for storage. The X200 and X400 also, after all, steps things up quite a lot on the subject of features, the standout ones being a 12x optical zoom at the X200 and a 23x zoom at the X400. Still no word on prices for any of them, but Toshiba says they’ll be available sometime within the fourth quarter of this year (in Europe, in any case). Hit the PR after the break for the entire list of specs.

Look, no hands!
At only 85g and 46.5mm x 80mm the CAMILEO CLIP is Toshiba’s first Full HD mini camcorder. Because of its ruggedized and splash-proof casing, the CAMILEO CLIP is a hard companion for all outdoor activities – in both good and bad weather, while sailing or biking as an example. Attached to the jacket with its robust clip at the rear side, the camcorder takes action shots from the user’s perspective while leaving the hands free for action. The CAMILEO CLIP is usually in place to capture great moments.

Bright and brilliant results even at twilight
The embedded 5 Megapixel CMOS sensor with back side illumination technology (BSI) catches wild adventures and wonderful scenery in Full HD quality and bright and natural colours – even at twilight. A 10x digital zoom permits far-off shots in video and photo mode. The electronic image stabiliser (EIS) provides for prime-quality recording and avoids blurry clips.

a competent companion
The CAMILEO CLIP supports micro SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards with a capacity of as much as 64GB. The CAMILEO Uploader software offers an effective way to upload clips and photos direct to social platforms. miniHDMI® and Mini-USB.2.0 interfaces provide for hassle-free connectivity to electronic devices like TVs, notebooks, and tablets.

Toshiba introduces new power-zoom Full-HD CAMILEO
camcorders

CAMILEO X200 and CAMILEO X400 feature advanced easy-to-use
applications and technologies providing stunning video results

Neuss, Germany, 1st September 2011 – Today, Toshiba Europe
GmbH introduced two new digital Full HD camcorders expanding the
CAMILEO X series. The compact CAMILEO X200 and CAMILEO
X400 are both full of features for advanced filming like 1080p
Full HD video resolution, Electronic Image Stabiliser (EIS) and the
possibility to take snapshots while recording videos. The new
CAMILEO camcorders are a sensible choice for ambitious users who
appreciate the advantages of first-class video technology and clever highend features.

The glossy black CAMILEO X200 and the matt black
CAMILEO X400 would be available within the fourth quarter 2011 in Europe.
Simply point the camera on the scene – technology does the rest
The brand new camcorders could be easily operated throughout the menu
displayed at the large 16:9 touchscreen. Featuring a wide variety of
useful tools, the CAMILEO X200 and X400 allow the camera operator
to highlight the scene. The face tracking and smile detection
application makes it easy to capture perfect videos and photos of
people in front of the camcorder: it automatically tracks faces in video
mode and shoots photos when someone smiles.

CAMILEO X200: Great for making memories last
The powerful zoom makes the CAMILEO X200 the correct choice for
high-quality footage. The camcorder contains a 12x optical zoom and
a 20x advanced zoom providing detailed portrait and landscape
videos in stunning quality.

CAMILEO X400: High-quality videos even in low light conditions
Way to the CAMILEO X400′s 23x optical zoom and the 120x digital
zoom, film makers can capture scenes which might be beyond the reach of
most camcorders. The brand new camcorder also meets the challenge of
filming in low light conditions as its 5Megapixel CMOS sensor features
back side illumination technology (BSI). It significantly increases the
sensor’s light sensitivity and allows brilliant and vivid videos to be
captured at twilight or in rooms with artificial light.

Video editing made easy
The CAMILEO X200 and X400 both feature the video editing
application Cut ‘n’ Save that makes film editing easy. Plus, a
dedicated pause button makes it possible to pause the recording and
to continue with yet another scene inside the same clip – also easing
editing.
