Summary: Dial broke
Review: I had this camera for about a year when the dial broke. Of course, repairing this is far more costly than a new camera, so here I am. I found the camera did take good quality pictures, but if it isn't going to work after a year, then what's the point?

Summary: My experiments with pdr-m60
Review: I have nearly two months experience with the product. By now I am very much satisfied with the product. Here are the important features:

1. Need of manual: If you have a some experience with photography you need not even have to read the manual. It is so user friendly, with self-explanatory controlls.

2. Clarity: Not so good, but comparable to other 2.1 mpixel images of others.

3. Power: I don't know, as I have rechargeable. It never finished while taking photos. (I took at least 40 images in a stretch, without recharging).

4. Image downloading: I faced some problems with USB, as my OS was windows 95. But it drives itself fine in windows 2000. Also the speed is good, 32 MB may take a 2-3 min.

Of course, memory 4MB is too small to use. It may be appropriate to get 16/32 smartmedia. Also recharger also is a standard requirement. Still the camera is a good value pick ....

Summary: Great first time digital camera!
Review: I have this camera now and am very glad that I bought it. I purchased rechargable batteries, and so far I'm having good luck with them. Also, it is easy to use. It is just like a regular camera, but more fun to see the pictures "now!" I used it to send e-mail pictures, and it works great for that also. All in all, it is working just fine for me with my limited vision. Buy it, you'll love it! The instruction manual is on CD, and that's a problem when your out taking pictures, and need to review a direction or two. Other than that, it's what I wanted in a digital camera.

Summary: Great Camera - Great Price
Review: I purchased my camera a few weeks ago and rapidly came to realize what other reviewers before me had. Rechargable batteries and a larger smartmedia card are absolutley necessary, but also well worth the few xtra bucks. I couldn't find a compareable camera for the same price. Very easy to use with some experimenting. I find the picture quality to be very good at the higher settings. Prints are almost indistinguishable from 35mm photos. I love it more every day. Get yours today, don't hesitate.

Summary: Toshiba PDR-M60 Engineering
Review: I purchased my original PDR-M60 in January of 2001, and before February it was in the mail to be repaired. I ended up receiving a refurbished unit, without the reimbursement of my S&H. So everything was fine until Febraury of 2002, when my power button popped off. So again of to the mail with my S&H and time as if Toshiba were the only ones that run a business. Out of commission for over a month I recieved another refurbished unit. Now that I am out of my original warranty period of one year they refuse to repair/replace my camera that has another button that has popped off, without an additional $... for another refurbished unit. Why? So the button can pop off again? I think not. I think I'll learn to take my losses.

Summary: The Secret Is NiMH
Review: I received this camera as an out-of-left-field Christmas gift; it was totally unexpected and I was thrilled. The thrill abated a bit when the supplied alkaline batteries went dead after about twelve snaps and two uploads. Fresh AA's didn't restore operation. A call to Toshiba's tech line (only moderately annoying as far as typical menu-driven help lines go, and I was on hold less than a minute) revealed that I needed either an AC adapter (... accessory! No thanks) or a set of nickel-metal-hydride rechargeables. I chose the latter; a trip to the local Generic Big Discount Store and ... for the batteries and charger (and an overnight initial charge) put me back in business.

Picture quality is good but the LCD image visibility varies widely -- from "good" to "barely useable" -- with ambient conditions. The USB upload is a snap and the software installation was easy. The optical viewfinder is a joke, though: It only approximates the picture field (conservatively; you can crop the extraneous stuff that ends up in the image) and then there's the lens housing which blocks about 20% of the finder's lower left corner. Another dislike is the CD-ROM "manual," however I enjoy a laser-printer subsidy at my place of work so making a hardcopy materially reduced my annoyance factor here.

In all, as a gift it's great but if you have a chance to shop for yourself there are much better cameras for not much more money.

Summary: Toshiba pdr-m60 digital camera
Review: I recently purchased a Toshiba PDR - M60 digital camera. The first thing I noticed right out of the box was the bottom left area of the viewfinder had an obstruction as if a finger partially covered it. This never went away. The camera only comes with a partial owner's manual and to obtain the full length version you have to download it from the CD and it is 103 pages long. Another problem is the batteries discharged in a couple of days although the camera was in the off mode. If you buy a PDR-M60 be sure to immediately buy some rechargeable batteries and a charger and an AC adapter as battery life is very short when you connect the camera to your computer. I have to believe my camera was an anomoly as Toshiba is recognized for quality, nevertheless, I returned it and ordered a Canon s-10.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Camera, new accessories!
Review: I think that the PDR-M60 is a great camera for anyone who wants a digital camera without all of the extravagant features. I've had mine for about a year and i have taken some great pictures with it. The only cons that i have about it is that you have to hold down the button for a few seconds to take a picture and that if you use regular batteries like duracell, and you have the viewing screen on while you are taking pictures, your batteries will quickly run out. But its an all around great camera. Oh and new lenses coming out as well.
