At $149.99 (at Amazon: Toshiba Camileo S20) maybe it's not a bad deal, but their conclusion (that the Flip or Kodak Zi8 were easier to use, and the Xacti VPC-CS1 a better performer) does suggest that any decision will be based on trade-offs.
A while back a friend loaned me a DXG camcorder he'd bought. He was disappointed with the video quality, particularly in poor light. I used it for a video shoot as the fifth camera (on the floor, shooting the drummers foot!) and I was actually quite happy with what it produced. For a quick cut-away to another angle it was perfect. I wouldn't want to use it as the primary camera for something, but for an extra angle at a shoot a small inexpensive camera can be quite useful...
