Summary: Nice!
Review: This Toshiba has a retro Leica look and with 4 megapixels it's also a powerful digital camera. 2.8x optical zoom gives you about 28-80mm in 35mm equivalent. Pretty easy to use and good build quality. Definitely use NiMH batteries -- but in any case I prefer these to LiIon because the latter are [spendier] and lose capacity after ~300 cycles. NiMH can be charged 1000 times before they degrade! Do carry extra sets of batteries.

Summary: Nice cam
Review: Well I dont work for any camera company so dont expect any biases here:PROS:
* Excellent , stunning, photos (4 mp are the standard for professional photography)
* remote control - for doing extra chores like remote photo taking.
* Excellent in low lighting situations - pics come out crisp and white balanced.
* Hooks up to tv for monitoring pics or videos
* Videos can be as long as the memory card (no sound Note:professionals use separate mics and recording equipment - so if u want to do it right, buy a good mic and i.e. Sony digital recording machine)
* The software works excellent - was up in running in 5 minutes , easy to use software.
* Batteries seem to last long.
* Canon LENS - wow , if you want to get a good camera , make sure the lens are at least a good name brand - this fits the bill. CONS (relatively minor):
* Many features - thats not a con, but it will take u awhile to take advantage of this sucker.
* no case - go buy one
* doesn't come with rechargeable batteries ($... extra) like the Sony.
* doesnt come with much memory to start - ie 32 megs would have been nice , CMON, not 16megs, whippee doo.
* does not come with extra power adapter - (so that u dont have to use batteries )

Summary: too cumbersome
Review: While the picture quality is good (too red actually, but can be fixed with software), there are too many drawbacks to rate it above 3 stars. The battery drain is very high when in photo mode, so using high-drain regular or rechargeable batteries is essential, as regular ones die after only a couple of shots. The built-in flash isn't bright enough, so I'd only recommend it for outdoor use. Manual locking of the battery compartment where SD card is located is a hassle, as is the manual lens cover. Basically, it takes about a minute to get it ready to shoot, OK for prepared shots, but too slow if you need to catch something quickly. Does not come with a charger and rechargeable set of batteries. Also too bulky, especially since you need to carry 4 extra AA batteries, just in case. No webcam, movie mode is OK, but no sound, unlike other 4Mpixel cameras. In this case, definitely, you get what you pay for, maybe even a bit less.
