TOSHIBA Camileo H20 Multifunction Camcorder
(The difference being the 8 interpolated megapixels)

Records in better long term quality. Although the other goes on about Youtube (whoop-de-do!) as well as its also HD ability, its better to record in the highest definition possible all the time and downscale later if desired (there is enough software around for that alone) - rather than record in lower quality and never be able to improve the quality after that.

The 8 interpolated megapixels ability more so will give better picture and allow less distortion.

Either should take standard SD cards that are usually available for your average camera.
A trip into Boots, any good camera shop or even a good local chemist will aid you no problem.

Yes.
"Sandisk" do a range of faster data saving cards.
"Sandisk Extreme III" range will do the job for example plus others in the Sandisk range for HD recording.

I have a P30 - low light performance is terrible. H20 is probably as bad. Software on the camera is pretty clunky, but you gets what you pays for.

If that's not an issue then it's a great price for a HD camera.

I wouldn't give pixmania any more business though. Do a search on here to see what I mean.

Although its says highspeed, it don't mention frames per second.
Look for the detail on the card that refers to 20 FPS or 30 FPS.
Thats a clearer indicator of how fast a card can save the incoming frame rate.
Too slow at saving and the camera has to compensate with dropped frames per second.

Get a Sony. They have proper Carl Zeiss lenses and good low-light performance.

You'll probably find a bargain in some shop in Dublin, but I'm in Kerry, so a Dub will have to give you a clue.:(
