Toshiba introduces new power-zoom Full-HD CAMILEO camcorders

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 packed with 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 good choice for ambitious users who appreciate the benefits of first-class video technology and clever high-end features. The glossy black CAMILEO X200 and the matt black CAMILEO X400 will be available in the fourth quarter 2011 in Europe.

Simply point the camera at the scene – technology does the rest

The new camcorders can be easily operated through the menu displayed on the large 16:9 touchscreen. Featuring a wide selection of useful tools, the CAMILEO X200 and X400 allow the camera operator to focus on 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 right choice for high-quality footage. The camcorder features 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

Thanks to the CAMILEO X400’s 23x optical zoom and the 120x digital zoom, film makers can capture scenes that are beyond the reach of most camcorders. The 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 a different scene within the same clip – also easing editing.
