User Reviews about Toshiba PDR-M25 2MP Digital Camera w 3x Optical Zoom

My Toshiba PDR-M25 is little over seven years old and it is like brand new. Looks good, but above all, is still in perfect working condition. I keep it in a pouch, change the batteries frequently, and have other cameras that I use, to alternate between them and give them all a break. So far, the pics that I've taken with this Toshiba, are great pics. I have no complaints other than I wish I had invested in another one like it, just to ensure I still have one the day this one decides to not work anymore. I guess I ended up with one of the better ones from what I've read for the most part. -- I was blessed with One of the good ones, I guess...

Using a 128Mb media card and NiMH batts, I've taken many good and more than a few great photos indoors and out with my PDR-M25 since I bought it 4 years ago. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of it many times over. As an earlier reviewer put it, the M25 does very well what it was designed to do. The bad news is that a week ago my little pal started asking me whether I wanted to format the media card which it had never done before and which I hadn't removed even once since I installed it 3 yrs ago. When I click "yes" it says "card error". Has anyone run into this problem? -- Great Little Camera

There are ways to get around the low light problem on this camera using the manual option and adjusting the brightness/contrast. You can also switch a few other things around. I don't know what they are exactly, but they have worked for me in solving the low res problem. Anyway, the battery problem also has a solution. NIMH rechargable batteries have lasted me all day and then some for several filled cards. I use 64 mb cards. I have 2500 mah NIMH batteries. I use a plug for the camera when I upload the images to my computer to conserve the time I can use shooting pictures with the batteries.

I got this camera for free years ago and it has survived hell and back. I've literally dropped this poor thing down a rocky hill, it's been left in the rain, stepped on, and god knows what else. It's sturdy enough to survive an adult toddler like myself who can't seem to keep it out of harms way. Sturdy enough to last years mind you. I've had it for around 3 with out malfunction. Anyway. All I have to say is that people need to learn how to use their camera, stop griping, and problem solve. If you want a fancy camera that does a lot more than this one, be prepared to pay for it. You can't expect cream puffs for the price of jello.

And as far as people recieving cameras that don't work. Duds happen. That goes with mass production of a product. A few bad eggs are bound to happen. It's stupid to judge a whole product on a handful of duds. -- People are... frustrating. 5 stars for what the camera is meant to be.
