Answer 1

A quick look at the specs and Yes its a good Camcorder, its got all the neccesary specs ( mp3 player, voice recorder, Still photos and video) Optical zoom, Composite connection (connect directly to TV to watch video/photos) Light to carry and a good price £97 RRP

Its also easy to transfer video to PC, either take the SD card out and put into your PC (if you have a card Reader installed on your PC) or transfer video via USB 2 connection.

you might need the MPEG4 codec if you can't view the videos on your PC

Only one minor thing about the Toshiba Camileo Pro Camcorder

Its not proper DVD quality (720 x 576) video but 640 x 480 compressed VGA MP4
