Summary: it eats battery too fast
Review: I was just able to take 30 pictures before running out 8 Alkaline batteries. Unbelievable! This is the only thing I need
to complain.

Summary: Batteries eaten four at a time rapidly
Review: It does everything it's supposed to do but all you'll do is change the batteries. Moreover the battery symbol on the camera goes from "full" to "empty" with no warning. Someone else said it but I'll repeat...a battery HOG.

Summary: Worst camera and company on the planet
Review: My camera was DOA upon arrival. It never worked from the minute that I opened the factory sealed box. Toshiba offered to fix it if I mailed it to their service center and waited 4-6 weeks for them to repair it. Yeah, right. My other option was to buy an identical camera from them and if I mail in this piece of junk they will give me a "discount" on my next purchase. I shouldn't have to PAY MONEY to get a camera replaced that never worked and is supposedly under warranty. The bottom line is that the product is a piece of junk that never worked. The fact that the repair department has a 4-6 week backlog proves that these cameras are junk. I will never buy any Toshiba product again in my life. I am very dissapointed with this camera and the way Toshiba treats their customers after the sale is downright insulting.

Summary: Good for the money
Review: This camera is of medium size, medium resolution (2.2mp) and medium quality (the flash cover fell off - who would have thought?). It has cool 3x optical zoom. It eats batteries up like candy, but I bought rechargeable, longer lasting ones so its not such a problem. Its lens cap doesn't stay on.
The low down: if you want a camera the takes beautiful pictures, spend... more on a fancy newer model with 3.2 or higher resolution.
If you want a camera that is cost effective and records memories and does all the same stuff as any other digital camera (it even has some special settings which I haven't investigated much, like shutter speed) in only very slightly imperfect 2D form, buy this one used and be careful with the lense and flash cover (though it's absence doesn't seem to affect performance).

Summary: Good point & shoot
Review: This camera was a present from my wife. I've had it about a month, and it works well for me. I've been using a SLR film camera with a zoom lens, which is in a higher quality/price bracket, but I'm not even an advance amateur photographer. I'm quite happy with this camera. To echo other reviews, yes it can eat batteries. I did however just shoot over 120 pictures on a partially used set of batteries, but I usually keep the LCD off - yes you can turn it off - and turned the flash off for the last 20 shots or so. (I find the flash often fires even outside if left on automatic.) I don't know if that is really out of line with other similar cameras. Also, low light can be a problem, along with shooting into light. I do have a lot of low light photos that came out great though. You have to be careful that you are not shooting towards a lamp or window (even in a corner of the frame) which throws everything off. My only other complaint is that the top dial, which selects manual, automatic, and playback modes, is easily moved just by putting it in its case. Overall, it takes great pics for it resolution and cost. I got a 128MB card with it (and a card reader) that gives 131 pics at the highest resolution (and something around 2000 at the lowest resolution and pic size). You will want a larger memory card because part of the advantage of digital cameras is you can take a ton of shots and the ones you throw away don't cost you anything. (And if you save to CD-R, the ones you save cost a fraction of a cent a piece - of course unless you print them.) I did not use the encluded software as I use a Mac with the free iPhoto and own Photoshop for anything more serious. A friend who owns this camera recommended it to my wife for me, and I would recommend it to others. Sure I'd love a digital SLR, but would not love spending the bucks. I do take lots more pics now that I have this camera.

Summary: Great camera for price, but not the best
Review: This is a decent starter camera for the price-- the software is useful, and the pictures are crisp. However, this camera is relatively large and eats batteries (4 at a time), even with minimal LCD use. The lens cap keeps falling off and is not as convenient as a slide cover (like the Olympus Camedia D520, which I now use). I would recommend another camera like the Olympus or the Canon Digital Elph for the more active point-and-shoot person.

Summary: Great Starter with Pro features
Review: This is my first digital camera.Toshiba did not dissapoint. Simple to operate, I got started immediately. Software is great and user friendly. I recommend upgrading the digital card to 128MB so you don't have to worry about taking the best quality photos and running out of disk space.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: This was my first digital camera and I spent my hard earned money on it. Picture quality indoors was very poor, outside was ok. Downloads were easy and fast. Battery life was a joke,it would never be consistant on how long they would last a day or two weeks..I used rechargable ones from the start and had two kinds it never made a difference.
Now after 6 mo the camera will not recognize the charged battery at all.I have tried every thing new batteries 3 kinds and still nothing . So basically I have a useless camera,tech support at Toshiba is worthless and no one will work on the camera around here..they tell me to throw it away and buy something other than Toshiba.Great! Well that finished me with ever buying a Toshiba product again and you can be sure I will tell EVERYONE I know, that they need to look elsewhere for a better company and product.

Summary: This piece of junk died on me
Review: Usually, I have good experiences with Toshiba's products. For example, I have a Toshiba DVD player that I am very happy with. However, this digital camera was a disappointment in almost every aspect. A minor gripe was the short battery life, but that's a very common problem with digital cameras in general. Major problem #1: This camera has a VERY hard time focusing in low-light situations. Unless you're in a brightly lit room or outside on a sunny day, your pictures stand a good chance of being out of focus. Major problem #2: I owned this camera less than six months when it refused to recognize the existence of batteries. I tried many different types of fresh batteries, but it says they're all dead. Now I have to look into getting warranty service. If I had it to do over, I would have invested a little more in a higher-quality camera (and a brand other than Toshiba). You really do get what you pay for when it comes to digital cameras.

Summary: Affordable & Easy to use!
Review: Very updated technology, quite small, clear picture, and best of all fun to use. This is my 2nd digital camera, my first one was very difficult to use ... Highly recommend it!!!
