The summer is knocking on the door and of course this means vacations to the seaside or lakes or at least some hours by the pool. And for sure you would like to have all the nice summer moments captured on photo or video, so you will need a waterproof camera. Probably this was the idea of Toshiba when they developed the Camileo BW10 camcorder.

Although Toshiba creates waterproof camcorder for the first time they obviously succeeded – in the last year company representatives estimated more than double price for such improvement. In the reality the cost of Camileo BW10 is about 185 USD.

Camera can work inside the water (but not deeper than 2 meters) it records MP4 video in 1080p standard and may take photos with 5 megapixel resolution. The sensitivity of Camileo BW10 matrix is up to 1600 ISO. Unfortunately there is no optic zoom, but Toshiba tried to compensate with 10 times digital zoom. The records can be stored on SD, SDHC or SDXC cards with up to 64 GB memory.

The first sales will start in Great Britain in june, where the cost will be 130 pounds.
