Point-and-shoot digital cameras are the best selling digital cameras for good rerason. This is because they are simple and easy to use cameras mainly for those who don’t consider themselves good at photography or don’t enjoy learning about a lot of things just to take a picture. Hence the name point and shoot. They have been so popular for so long  because you can also easily take photographs at events like vacations, parties, reunions and other events so easily.

While using a point-and-shoot digital camera, remember that it is digital. There is an LCD display and as soon as you take your photo you can look into the LCD display and you can check it if you have timed it well, weather it is the correct pose you required and whether you can make some adjustments and can take another picture .

This camera is easy to use and it takes unbelievable pictures. The quality and size of the lens make all the difference in the world. I bought this camera for my wife and it was so good I bought one for my grandson who is into taking pictures. My wife loves it and my grandson really loves it. It is a little big for a point and shoot camera but well worth the bother of a slightly larger camera than say a smaller Coolpix. My wife had a small Coolpix but since she picked up the L100 she has not touched the smaller camera. Also the L100 takes regular batteries that last a long time and they are cheap and readily available. I was not in a hurry to buy a camera so I watched the Ebay listings for a few weeks and saved a lot of money.

Toshiba Digital Camera – Not Recommended – Discontunued

I have owned this camera for 2 years now and it finally bit the dust.

I still think it holds the title for best bang for the buck in the 3-megapixel range. I really enjoyed all of the manual features and fine-tuning capabilities. The remote control is a great feature for group photos. The long exposure times can generate some very interesting night shots. In short, I don’t have any complaints about the features of the camera.

Last weekend the camera died. I got just over 2 years and 2000 pictures out of it. I researched the failure to see if there was a known fix out there on the Internet. No such luck.

I did discover that there seems to be some serious reliability issues with this particular model. I found 1 good piece of advice to find out how reliable a camera is: check the completed auctions on your favorite auction website and see what percentage of the cameras being sold are non-functional or are manufacturer reconditioned units. If found about 60% of the 65 units sold were dead or rebuilt PDR-3300’s. I checked the Canon A70 for comparison – only about 7% of the 320 units sold were dead or rebuilt.

My recommendation would be to either purchase an extended warranty or just don’t expect a lot of life out of the camera. It sounds like I did pretty well with a 2 year run. I’ll miss this camera, but won’t buy another Toshiba.
