Editorial Reviews:

This Digital Camera allows you to take great digital photos wherever you go. It gives you 1800 x 1200 pixel resolution for outstanding images you can transfer to your PC. Remarkably easy to use, just choose your subject and point and shoot. It comes with a 4MB Flash Card. Toshiba's PDR-M60 is a point-and-shoot digital camera with a 2.3-megapixel imaging chip. The output resolution is enough to produce photo-quality prints at sizes as large as 8 x 10 inches, depending on the printer used.

Conclusion: 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?

Conclusion: The dial broke...


Review: I've had it for a year and half... it has it's good, and bad sides, but 2 days ago, the dial just fell off... upon inspection I've discovered that it was made to brake... which was supported by numerous reports of the same problem... don't buy this camera, or any other from toshiba...

Conclusion: Who needs AC Adapter?


Review: I bought this camera in 2001 and it's dead now. When I just got it, it sarted giving me problems with batteries(kept showing "low batteries"), so I bought AC Adapter to avoid this problem(I used it indoor only), and that same problem came back again 2.5 years later, "low batteries" with AC Adapter. It made noise, kept blinking until went completely dead. I did take same good photos with this camera, but since it's dead now, I have AC Adapter that's perfectly fine and doesn't go with any other camera. I payed $60, if anyone wants it, I'll sell it for $25. Email me: DukyTheDog@yahoo.com

Conclusion: Buyer Beware


Review: This camera is a decent general use camera, but buyers should be VERY aware of some inherent flaws with the camera and Toshiba's lack of support for their own engineering flaws. The camera has 2 reoccuring problems. First, the tabs in the battery compartment are weak. Extreme care must be taken opening and closing the compartment to prevent wear and breakage. Second, the mode dials on these cameras fall off in normal use. The plastic pins which hold it in place break off no matter how gently used. Toshiba has stopped supporting the camera with replacement parts. If the dial falls off outside the warranty window, your only option will be to trade the camera in for a refurbished camera. The price of the trade is not justifiable considering the problems, and you will be better off buying a new camera from someone besides Toshiba. I currently have a worthless PDR-M60, and will not buy from Toshiba again.

Conclusion: Painfully high shutter lag


Review: Good looking Camera. Good Pictures. But very low shutter speed. Low Memory. Heavy drain on the battery

I tried to take my 2 year old daughter's pictures in action. But becuase of the SLOW SHUTTER speed, I did not get the pose I wanted. Many pictures are dark, 2 out of 5 pictures come out completely dark. Very low memory - just 4 MB. Fits just 6 pictures in the defult resolution. Uses up too much battery power - Need to recharge after approx. 10 pictures. Does not come with rechargable battery or recharger.
