Here we see the Gigashots' swivelling 76mm (3-inch) 16:9 TFT Colour LCD, packing about 230,000 pixels (a 959x240 pixel resolution). Opening and closing the screen turns the camcorder on and off. Functions are controlled by a mini-joystick to the bottom left of the screen, and a zippy scroll wheel set into the side of the monitor housing.

A dedicated stills shutter button set next to the very responsive zoom rocker allows you to capture still images while recording, which is a big plus. Stills are recorded to an SD or SDHC card up to 8GB.

Tucked away underneath the monitor is a row of connection sockets, including USB, AV out, component terminal and the all-important HDMI slot.

The Toshiba Gigashot A100F and Gigashot A40F are available any minute now, priced at €1,399 (£1,042) and €1,199 (£893), respectively. The Toshiba Gigashot K80H and Gigashot K40H will cost €799 (£595) and €699 (£520). A review of the A100F will be coming very soon.
