Opinion: Une bonne affaire en occasion si l'appareil a été soigneusement entretenu.

Bonne qualité optique lumineuse
Bonne batterie ( standard avec d'autres marques... ) Bonne balance de blanc
Usage d'une simplicité jamais égalé depuis grace au contrôles et commandes par petit lcd et boutons rétroéclairé !
Viseur optique avec réglage diop...
Complément optique possible , flash externe ( prise sync )
etc...

Je l'ai revendu et je regrette malgré ses 3 Mp seulement

Problems: Le joystick peut avoir des problèmes après 3 ans d'usage !
Le standard PcmCia est limité à 64 Mo

Opinion: Honestly, This camera in general takes the clearest pictures I've ever seen in my entire life. I've tried out a lot fo digital cameras and none has compared to it. I can't figure out why they have discontinued it!? The menu is simple, colorful and there are a lot of options on it. Overall , excellent camera.

Problems: Yes, lots of problems, but you have to understand that I've taken this camera around the world with me and it's been through hell. I've taken about 8000 pictures and videos. I can say that the video is not up to par compared to other cameras, but still decent unless in the dark, things all look red. The lens cap breaks off almost 15 minutes after you buy it, haha, the audio only option is neat, the camera is a bit big for today's standards and heavy, but it's looks great and takes amazing pictures.
oh and my control button came loose (like another viewer) and was unusable, Nortown Photo is great (in Ontario) they fixed it.

Opinion: LCD display problems and does not turn on. I baught this camera in USA for $800 2 years back and it was excellent.

Problems: Recently its LCD panal is not comming up when I turn on the Camera. It just blicks and goes off. The battery is fine. I have seen other people are also reported similar problems. The camera is now totally un-usable. I am currently residing in India without much of Thoshiba authorised delear/Repair centers.

I also do not like the Lense cap, it broke in few days after I baught.

Can any one suggest where in and around India I can repair it.

Opinion: First Digital ever used. Directions & software was super easy to use and understand. I also like the battery that came with the camera although I did buy the longlife one. Would take them out all day and never had to change them at all. At first I stayed on everything Auto and eventually when I understood digital I went into different modes, action shots, videos and found it to be easy to set. I did find the the white balance was off compared to other cameras, while mine had better features a trade off. Its compact, so easy to use, my son age 14 took over 200 pictures for the yearbook. Teachers didn't believe he had taken them. Seeing me in the background they agreed he had taken them. The mode buttons, on and off switch in perfect locations, as well as a good screne to see the photos, very quick to take on shot after another, easy to download to the computer. I like the way the software keeps your photos also. Have nothing really bad to say about my first digital, while I am only self taught.

Problems: Lens cap, had to buy the Olympus squeeze cap, the one with the toshiba I hated. I prefer image expert 2000, which is now aftershot, this program is even easier to use then the Image Expert which came with the camera, and so much better than the Olympus software.

Opinion: Flawless performance with this camera. It just keeps going and going. I have been thinking about replacment but, everything else just cant give me the features needed ( 28mm wide angle ) 2 years and this camera has paid for itself. Everyone who sees it are impressed with the quality of photos. ( flash at night is perfect ). Great camera all the way thru. Menu system could use a little work, but i can live with it.

Problems: Lens cap is worthless, With add-on wide angle lens cant use viewfinder, so must use LCD.

Opinion: Where can I get an English manual for this camera? I work for a digital imaging company and Toshiba promoed this camera to someone I work with, but it only came with a Japanese manual. I am having trouble figuring out how to use it. Can someone give me directions to some instructional documentation? It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Problems: No English manual

Opinion: Well to be honest with you I loved that camera I think it takes excellent pictures. Unfortunately I broke it beyond repair and I cryed for it to be fixed but no way to help it. I was offered a replacement for it which was the PDRM 71 what a piece of junk I cannot believe that Toshiba was so stupid as to replace it with that so call camera PDR 71 and that PDR 81 which both these cameras suck. This is just some of the things they did replaced the lithum battery with AA bats made the 1.8 screen down to 1.5 this is just a few.

Problems: they stop making it
