Toshiba PDR-M70 | $354.95 | |  |
Toshiba is clearly one of the true "mega" players in the world of computers and electronics. When they moved into digital cameras about two years back now, they brought tremendous engineering resources to bear, which has borne fruit in the form of some of
the fastest digicams on the market, from shot to shot. The PDR-M70 carries this tradition into the 3 megapixel arena, at the same time as Toshiba is learning to incorporate more photographic features into their cameras. The PDR-M70 now offers much greate
r exposure control and flexibility than any Toshiba camera to date, with a feature set that places it solidly in the "enthusiast" realm. At the same time, basic operation is simple enough for the casual user. With the PDR-M70, Toshiba has also moved furth
er into the "multimedia" domain, offering not only movies with sound at multiple resolution/quality levels, but a very full-featured sound-only recording mode for verbal note-taking that goes well beyond what we're accustomed to seeing in a digital still
camera. All in all, a dramatic increase in features and capabilities, part of a progression we expect to see Toshiba continue for some time into the future.
