Camcorder review of Toshiba Camileo S30

Toshiba may not be known for its prowess in the pocket camcorder market, but that doesn't mean it should be immediately counted out. Its latest pocket camcorder offering, the Camileo S30, hops on the touch-control bandwagon and tries to compete with the best with a user-friendly design. So can the Camileo S30 keep up with touch-based camcorder big shots like Sony Bloggie Touch? Read on and find out.
The full HD Camileo S30 is available in a range of fancy colours including blue, red, silver, and "raspberry". Our review model was the black version which is lovely and shiny, and as such, was covered in fingerprints minutes after emerging from the box although Toshiba has thoughtfully included a cleaning cloth. Measuring just 59 x 106 x 19mm, the S30 is very compact indeed and is more or less the same size as a smartphone when the screen is folded away. Tipping the scales at just 150g, it's also very lightweight which is great news if you actually intend to carry it round in your pocket.
The S30 is capable of capturing video (MPEG4/H.264) at a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, at 30 frames per second with its 8-megapixel CMOS sensor. If you're not fussed about recording in full HD then you can also choose from three other recording modes - HD60 (1280 x 720p at 60fps), HD30 (1280 x 720p at 30fps) or VGA (640 x 480 at 30fps). As well as selecting the recording resolution, you can turn on the motion stabilisation mode to reduce image blur created by shaky hands. Along with a fixed focus lens (F=2.5), the S30 sports a 16x digital zoom.
Review Summary:
The Toshiba Camileo S30 is an extremely affordable pocket camcorder that has respectable video quality and is a worthy competitor despite a handful of minor drawbacks.
Pros
Good video quality for a pocket camcorder
Extremely affordable
Plenty of extras
Cons
Resistive touchscreen isn't very responsive
Menus are poorly designed
Exposed lens

Adobe Premiere Pro review and import MOD to Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications developed by Adobe Systems, though it can also be purchased separately. When purchased separately, it comes bundled with Adobe Media Encoder, Adobe Encore, and Adobe OnLocation.
Adobe's CS5 update of their software suite is in some ways a major one. With CS4 they brought a native 64-bit version of Photoshop, bringing with it the ability to address more than 2 gigabytes of RAM. They also added greater GPU acceleration to it, allowing Photoshop to scale and alter images in the UI on the graphics card, dependent largely on the amount of video memory available. This was all awesome for image editors, but as a video editor I found myself wondering where the 64-bit versions of Premiere and After Effects were. HD video was mainstream at this point and in the hands of consumers, and a high resolution still image is a drop in the bucket compared to how large video can get.
That's the major new feature of CS5: Adobe has gone fully 64-bit on the PC for this suite, bringing with it the ability to harness all of the memory available in modern machines along with enhanced threading for multi-core processors.
About Adobe Premiere Pro CS5:
PROS
64-bit platform
Expansive format support
Awesome color-key effects
CONS
Only minor upgrades over CS4
ATI Radeon graphics bug
Import video Format:
3GPP Movie (.3gp), Advanced Video Codec (.mts), AVCHD (.m2ts, .mts), DV stream (.dv), Flash Video (.flv, .f4v), Microsoft AVI (.avi), Microsoft NetShow (.asf), MPEG-1 (.mpg), MPEG-2 (.m2v, .mpg), MPEG-4 (.m4v), Panasonic P2 (.mxf), QuickTime Movie (.mov), Shockwave Flash object (.swf), Sony VDU File Format Importer (.dlx), Windows Media (.wma, .wmv), XDCam-EX movie (.mp4), XDCam-HD movie (.mxf)
