Customer Reviews

I was looking for a low cost video camera mostly for YouTube videos and this is one of the few with a touch screen than can be rotated to face you while you make your videos. You can see what is in the video and not have to guess if your shot is covered..
This does have a HD option and so far has produced great videos.
Some of the touch screen options seem a little cheap on appearance and the sound that plays is not the best. However, the recording sound is great.
Light weight and fits the bill to a tee so far....if problems surface, I'll update

 I personally think that this is a very good camera. It is small, can fit in pockets. Also, it is a lot less than regular camcorders. Additionally, unlike most cameras of its price, this camera can go up to 64Gb. People have said that they feel that the material is cheap, but I am happy about it because we are cheap, that's why we bought it. (For example, I wouldn't expect to be paying $100 for a camera made out of solid platinum or something, you know?). For the quality of the videos and pictures, well, it LOOKS very bad on the screen, but when you put it on a computer or a TV, it is actually VERY good. (meaning, the definition of the data is good, but the screen isn't HD). I absolutely love this camera and would recommand anyone who wants to get the best out of the least.

Obviously, if you rely on a camera/camcorder to make a living, or those pursuits are your passion, you will probably want to look at something more expensive. For me however, as a casual photographer and a musician who uses the video option to record ideas and such, this is a great little device. I bought it for $90 from a Gold Box sale, but even at the everyday Amazon price, this is a good buy. I dont understand the reviews that tank this thing. For me, it's all about knowing your needs and shaping your expectations to suit. If you are like me, you will find this Toshiba to be exactly what you need. If not, get something else.
BTW, i have had no issues with battery life whatsoever.
I gave it four stars overall because it doesn't WOW me, but i am very happy with it nonetheless. I think you will be too.
