Engadget Reviews Toshiba Camileo S20

"Indeed, we have our complaints about the S20's confusing interface and cluttered controls, but when you think about all the features (and accessories!) you get for $150 (on the street, anyway), it's hard to totally pooh-pooh it. Obviously if you are looking for a pocket cam for someone less tech savvy we'd recommend the Flip Mino Ultra HD or Kodak Zi8 HD, and if you want a better performing pocket cam the Xacti VPC-CS1 has a 10x zoom and a less palatable $225 price tag. Ultimately we can't say the S20 cured all of our camcorder woes, but it did turn out to be an HD cam that we can recommend for the price."
Pretty impressive. At this price point/feature level, I'd have expected this to be from an brand like Apitek or a similar off brand. So it is a pleasant surprise to see this from the likes of Toshiba. I'd certainly choose this over the Flip Slide.
