Toshiba Camileo Pro
As part of the same introduction that brought the X205, Toshiba today also introduced a new video camera for those who need an all-purpose device. The Camileo Pro captures standard-definition footage in MPEG-4 to either the included 64MB of memory or up to 4GB of removable storage. Users with enough memory can also use the added storage to take 7-megapixel still shots with 3X optical zoom, play MP3s, or record voice during lectures and meetings, Toshiba says. The camera is also ready to serve as a webcam through a supplied USB cable and a tripod for stabilizing the image.
Europeans can expect the camera to ship in September for €199 ($267) with an HD-capable version appearing by winter and to be announced later. Toshiba is expected to keep the Camileo Pro within the region for the near future. [via Akihabara]
