Toshiba PDR-T10 2MP Digital Camera

The battery-eating complaint is a valid one, sad to say. However, toshiba.com does sell a (slightly expensive) adapter which would be good for image transfers or just playing around. They also sell a more affordable set of 4 rechargeable Nimh batteries w/ compact charger. And they market the best case by Case Logic for 6 bucks which is the perfect size for this camera!

Aside from the power problem [which you'll encounter with most feature-packed little geek toys ;)], this camera is a great buy and 2 megapixels at this price is outstanding! I'm very pleased w/ the picture quality and I'm still exploring all of the neat little options. It does come w/ a lithium battery and 8MB memory card to get started but you should definitely consider an upgrade. It also comes with a cute fuzzy camera bag (again, for starters) and a durable wrist strap which has a neat (and unobtrusive) stylus tool atached, so you don't have to worry about losing the stylus or finding a place to stash it!

As for looks, this is *definitely* the best digicam out there. Very stylish, doesn't look cheap/tacky like many you'll find on the market. I did my research before investing, and I would recommend you do as well, but I don't think I could have chosen better. Smaller than you would expect, but packs a great punch!

I bought this camera for my fiance as a pre-vacation ift, and was fairly disappointed. While its size and the fact that it uses SD cards and only 2 AA batteries, can be convenient, this camera ranks barely above that of "nifty toy." I own a 1.3 MP Casio Exilim and a 1.3 MP Sony Cybershot DSC-U10, all of which are comparable in size to this, but my Sony and Casio blows this camera away, despite its supposed "2.0 Megapixel" rating. Sure, the other two costed me more, but the fact that low-light pictures come out grainy and pixelized, even with the flash, renders the Toshiba almost worthless. Also, the strobe takes up to 7 seconds to charge after every pic! Talk about lost photo opportunities! I gave the camera a 3-star rating because of its size and the fact that it takes AA batteries, making it a decent on-the-go camera--as long as you use it in sunlight or another well-lit area.

We had this camera for just 90 days and it totally ceased workng. Toshiba said too bad, good luck, goodbye {money}. No more Toshiba products for us.
