Toshiba Gigashot WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT SYSTEM2007-11-25
Toshiba Gigashot GSC-R60 60GB 2MP Hard Disc Drive Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom

I bought this camera four month ago and was satisfied with the purchase. Only thing that i did not like about this camcorder was that flash does not work properly and pictures or videos in the night are worthless.

Couple of weeks ago, we found out that we have lost USB cable to move files from camcorder to pc and that's when our Nightmare started. TOSHIBA doesn't support this camcorders anymore. WHen you call customer service they will transfer you over to sales and parts department (only they never tolled me that it was a third party vendor, that does only refurbished unwarranty work)and to my astonishment they were rude and not very supportive to solve my problem. They did not have a USB cable and basicly said that i was out of luck!

I will never buy toshiba products again! Because of this one cable i now have a nice camcorder that is useless to me. Think twice before purchasing Toshiba Gigashot camcorders.

Hopefully this helps and you understand the risks of dealing with Toshiba products.
handy HD camcorder, great results!2007-07-10
Every camcorder has pro's and con's. Pro: small size, light weight but sturdy, articulated screen, easy PC transfer of video, good resolution under most lighting conditions indoors and out, surprisingly steady shooting when hand held. Con: no print manual (it's on a CD), no external microphone jack, though tiny mic does a good job, unit takes a little time to focus in indoor room light.

This camera is perfect for casual family videos, and takes great footage indoors and outdoors. I've gotten some great footage of the deer in our yard as well as family events indoors. Many people do not recognize it as a camcorder which can be a plus with camera-shy family members at events. Battery time is good, and the HD storage is great!

I captured several hours of irreplaceable family interviews that turned out quite well. It records in MPG format so you'll need a MPG editor like Cyberlink PowerDirector 6 to edit clips.

Tip: take short clips and assemble - it's easier than cutting up a long clip into sections. That being said, let the camera roll at any family event and capture all the festivities. The articulated screen lets you shoot from some pretty awkward angles and still get great footage. It's a great value for the money.
small but powerful2007-04-12
My fiance loves our new camcorder. The zoom works great on this camera, he was able to zoom up on our cats whiskers and see small details. It also works great as a camera. It is very lite weight and portable. The battery has lasted at least 8hours. The video quality once hooked up to a television is excellent. The memory is also huge, you can save quite a bit of video and pictures. The download from the camcorder to the computer was very easy. This is definately a great camcorder for the value.
60 Gig Toshiba Gigashot-Great Convenience, needs light2007-03-31
Terrific value, Intuitive features, simple file transfer and excellent software bundle make this a great average consumer video camera. Transferring movies right to DVD via PC is as simple as I've ever seen. Stability control is on the low end of effective and lighting conditions need to be reasonably bright for the picture to have full depth. That's not to say it doesn't video record OK in normal room lighting only that it is not as sensitive as say a Sony video camera (that costs 1/3rd more)

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
