Toshiba PDR-M700 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera - Silver

Strengths: Canon 10X glass, total manual control, superb menu system, 2.5" LCD, great accessory package, high speed shooting mode, price.

Weakness: No stabilization, no hotshoe, only 37mm wide angle with some distortion, weak flash, MMC flash memory.

At a 300 price point, you would be hard pressed to find as much camera for anywhere near the price. If Toshiba had included CompactFlash adaptability, the platform would be near perfection. Forget Olympus' C-740 unless you want to pay an extra 100 for a medal body. This one has everything the Oly does & a lot more, for a lot less. Total control over every aspect of the picture is wonderful to...

Toshiba PDR-M700 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera - Silver

Strengths: Very easy to use 10x optical zoom Large LCD viewing screen

Weakness: weak flash, battery life could be better

I bought this camera two weeks for two purposes. First one was to be able to view pictures I had taken, to make sure I had some good pictures before paying for film developing. The second was to take a picture of my engagement ring which at first I could not get a good picture it was blurry on auto focus. But when I reread the manual and learned how to take a picture the it came out beautifully....

Toshiba PDR-M700 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera - Silver

Strengths: Choice of large LCD finder or focusable optical finder window: easy to use menus: image quality: 10X optical/4X digital zoom: included lens accessory: adapteroverall value.

Weakness: Weak flash: a little small and hard to hold for larger hands: included case too small and poor fit.

Okay, so it's "only" a 3.2 megapixel camera: that's fine, especially considering the price. Try to find another 3.2MP camera with 10X optical zoom (and a Canon lens!) for the price! Anyway, 3.2MP is fine for my purposes. Also, the ease of selecting dozens of options in the "Manual" mode gives total control of the camera for those "hard-to-get" pictures. While the Auto mode works well for most...

Toshiba PDR-M700 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera - Silver

Strengths: ease of use, ability to point and shoot without reading manual first.

Weakness: bulky, ill fitting case, software. AC adapter NOT included

i wanted to write this review on my first impressions. reason being that if i can use an item out of box, i will continue to use it. took me about 2.5 minutes to take my first picture. 2 minutes of that was putting the batteries in. i wish that this could use flash mem, or connect to my pda or cell phone. that would of made this item perfect. other than that, im really pleased with the product....

Toshiba PDR-M700 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera - Silver

Strengths: Large LCD viewer, Electronic viewer, 10 X telephoto Canon lense, remote self timer, fast recycle time (6 exposures in 10 seconds), price, picture quality.

Weakness: A 3.2 mega pixle sensor, plastic body and a some what weak flash

I was on the verge of buying an Olympus C-740 when I saw this camera. The large 2.5 LCD and Canon 10 X lens caught my attention. The quality is high. The battery terminal inside the battery door is GOLD plated. Going from auto mode to manual mode is easy as turning a knob. A flick of a button gives all exposure info on any pix you have taken. Picture quality is high and recycle time is fast. I...

Toshiba PDR-M700

Toshiba's new PDR-M700 combines a high-quality 10x Canon zoom lens with Toshiba's electronics expertise to make a budget-priced "ultra-zoom" digicam with surprisingly good performance. If you're in the market for a really long-ratio zoom digicam but have limited funds, the PDR-M700 deserves a careful look.
