The X-Sports will go on sale in Europe at €249 ($328) sometime during Q4 2013 Toshiba tells us that a US release is yet to be decided upon. Like other action cameras, this means the Camileo X-Sports has. Still, Toshiba has put together an impressive bundle, and could help set the Camileo apart from the rest of the segment. Inside the X-Sports is a 1/2.3-inch 12-million-pixel CMOS sensor behind a 2.97mm f/2.8 lens with an effective focal length of 16.7mm. We’re not clear on whether the mounting kits for the two will be inter-compatible, though they certainly look much the same. Optionally, there’s a long clip mount, a head strap mount, and a chest strap.ĭespite the similarities with GoPro’s range – both between the Hero and the X-Sports camera itself, and the mounting/case options – Toshiba tells us that the camera has been completely independently designed. Toshiba also includes a wireless remote with big buttons, that can be strapped to a wrist or around the arm of a sports jacket. There’s a waterproof casing (up to 60m) and a flat clip mount, both flat and curved adhesive mounts, a side mount, bike mount for handlebars or frames, a vented helmet mount, a surfboard mount, and a tripod mount. Of course, most people will want to coddle it in a case, and Toshiba is eschewing the usual sportscam trend of charging extra for each piece, and instead includes nearly all of the optional accessories in the box. The 73 x 49.5 x 29.5 mm, 94g (excluding the battery) casing is boxy but feels solid, and is bump-proof in case you want to use it caseless there’s a standard tripod mounting screw underneath. Photos can be taken in burst mode or in tandem with video recording, and there’s timelapse photography along with looping video recording.
TOSHIBA CAMILEO X SPORTS FOR ANDROID
That wireless works with Toshiba’s WiFi Connect app for Android and iOS, which allows remote control of the Camilieo X-Sports, remote browsing and transfer of video and photos to your device, and use as a wireless viewfinder. Connectivity includes microUSB and mini-HDMI, along with a microSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, but Toshiba also squeezed in WiFi b/g/n. The 12MP sensor is paired with an ultra-wide angle lens and 10x digital zoom, and there’s digital image stabilization.
