Pocket-CAM

En effet, le dernier né des Pocket CAM de Toshiba, le Camileo BW10 peut-être immergé jusqu’à une profondeur de 2 mètres (3m pour le Kodak Playsport), et il offre la capture de vidéo en 1080p (30 images/seconde versus 60 i/s pour le Playsport) en MPEG-4 au format AVC.

Ce Pocket CAM est aussi capable de produire des photos en 5 Mpixels (ISO 1600 max), et le switch Caméra/Appareil photo se ferait, d’après Toshiba, d’une manière ultra simplifiée, via une simple pression sur une touche.

On notera aussi la présence d’une prise HDMI, d’un écran de 2 pouces, d’un zoom numérique de X10 et d’une reconnaissance des visages et d’un port SDHC (jusqu’à 64 Go, c’est donc du SD XC, le premier Pocket Cam à adopter cette extension du format SD), et des dimensions de 22 x 55 x 107 mm pour 114g. Toujours le même principe d’upload des vidéos vers Youtube (et consorts) simplifié.

Disponible en trois couleurs, en Juin autour des 130£ soit 150€ (parions sur 149€…).  A tester ?!

A suivre une vidéo tournée avec le BW10, une pub et le Communiqué de presse de Toshiba sur ce nouveau produit.

Press Release :

Toshiba UK today announces the launch of the new Camileo BW10, the first-ever Toshiba camcorder designed for sports, action and underwater use. Designed to withstand water, snow, rain or dust, the stylish, BW10 is the perfect companion for adventurous holidaymakers, water sports enthusiasts or families simply looking for an affordable and robust camcorder – capturing full 1080p high definition (HD) footage in the most challenging of conditions.

Outdoor fun – wherever you are, whatever the weather
The Camileo BW10 removes the restrictions of filming in or around water. Whether you’re enjoying fun days out at the seaside, filming tropical fish while snorkelling, or capturing ski trips in maximum resolution, the Camileo BW10 delivers 1080p Full HD video at an affordable price. For style-conscious users, the BW10 is also available in three colour variants – yellow, turquoise and silver.

Waterproof to two meters deep with full underwater operation, the BW10 is capable of delivering high definition images in a wide range of environments, and in high levels of humidity. An exterior rubber cover also protects against mechanical shocks, dust and sand, making the Camileo BW10 an ideal companion for action, beach or desert-based holidays. A portable and lightweight design also means the BW10 easily fits into a small pocket or bag – ready for whenever users want to shoot.
High quality video clips and stills
Impressive clarity and sharpness are provided thanks to 1920×1080p Full HD video recording, capturing images at the highest resolution available. Image stabilisation counters turbulent shooting conditions to provide smoother handheld shots, and a 10x digital zoom gets users closer to the subject.

A quick, two-button operation enables quick, easy switching between shooting video and 5MP still photographs, and integrated face detection technology allows users to take better portraits by automatically enhancing the exposure and colours of up to twelve faces in a single frame. A maximum ISO speed of 1600 also enables the CAMILEO BW10 to take great shots in more challenging ambient light conditions.
Share your experiences
The Camileo BW10 is compatible with SD cards up to 64GB in capacity, providing enough storage space for up to seven hours of Full HD video content[1]. Users can enjoy footage immediately after capture on a sharp 5.1cm (2.0″) LCD screen, and integrated HDMI® connectivity allows images to be played back on HD ready TVs. For instant sharing of videos with family and friends, the Camileo BW10 also features dedicated YouTubeTM functionality, enabling users to upload videos to the web at the touch of a button.

The Camileo BW10 is available from the end of June 2010, with a Typical Purchase Price (TPP) of £129.99.
