Toshiba GigaShot R60 & Two Other Camcorders
We love Toshiba. They make some of the coolest hi-tech gadgets to play around with. The new Toshiba GigaShot R60 hard-disk camcorder is a toy that I would love to get for my birthday (and that's just around the corner). The R60 has got oodles of space. You might have already guessed that the 60 in R60 stands for 60GB. Yep, that's what you get with this beauty.
What can you possibly do with 60GB on a camcorder? Simple. Shoot approximately 55 1/2 hours of high-quality (LP) video. This figure comes down to 13 1/2 hours in the even better SHQ mode. With a Canon 10x optical-zoom lens to boot, you're assured of many happy hours. And the 60GB is well protected from shocks and bumps - courtesy, the "Diprotechs" mechanism.
If you still think that 60GB is a waste of digital space, maybe you would settle for the Toshiba GigaShot R30. No prizes for guessing that that the 30 in R30 stands for 30GB. For the R30, the statistics say 27 hours and 40 minutes in LP mode, and 6 hours and 40 minutes in SHQ mode. Other features remain the same.
There's also the low-end Toshiba GigaShot V10 which comes with a paltry 4GB hard-disk. I am not sure who would want to buy this one. All three models can take on external memory through a SD slot. The units go on sale from the 25h of February, 2006. Should step foot into the United States soon. Pricing is yet to be announced.
