Tech tools: Toshiba Camileo X-Sports camera

Action all the way for new handheld camera aimed at sports enthusiasts. From €250

The Galaxy Gear may have grabbed the headlines at IFA in Berlin, but other products were worth a look too. Toshiba's Camileo X-Sports camera is built for action. It comes with a wireless wrist remote control that lets you capture the best action shots, and has a two-inch embedded display, and rugged casing that's waterproof, so you can take it swimming, biking or even snowboarding without worrying about damage. You can switch between video and photo quickly; and with five hours of battery life, you can get a decent amount of footage from a single charge.
