Do Not Buy A Toshiba Digital Camera Until You Read This

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.

Samsung Digital Cameras Tips And Information

digitalcameraphotography — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:18:41 +0000

Samsung has produced Digital SLR, Digimax, Digimax Slim and NV Series types of digital cameras which are quite in vogue in today’s times.

Digital SLR (Advanced Series) of Samsung digital cameras offers features and capabilities which are more significant for professional use. Specially designed for professionals, its user-friendliness is retained and hence makes a very popular series of cameras. This range of cameras has features like a 2.5” large and bright TFT LCD screen, continuous shooting of 2-3 shots per second and outstanding image and color reproduction. It provides 96% accurate and sharp results in low light or even in the dark. Its GX-10 model has 10.2 M image sensor, which ensures that shakes or blurs have no impact on the picture. Also dust is removed from the image sensor which enables quality dust free pictures. The body of the camera is sealed in such a way that it makes it water resistant and dust proof.

Samsung TL100

If you’re you’re interested in a ultra-portable camera, simple, straightforward point-and-shoot camera, the Samsung TL100 will definitely make your list of possibilities based solely on its size. The brushed stainless steel body of this lightweight camera is just 16.6 mm thick, not counting the lens. In a world of advanced technology, it takes a lot to surprise me nowadays, but the tiny size of this camera was still enough to startle. The back of the camera is loaded with a huge 2.7-inch LCD, plus a smattering of buttons, including the four-way rocker button that controls flash, timer, Macro, and Display settings. So far, so good, although the second thing I noticed, after the small size of the camera, was the small size of those buttons. This isn’t a camera meant for people with large or uncoordinated fingers.

This camera has 12.2 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom. I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of image quality and operation, having never handled a Samsung before, but for the most part, these are nice photos. The camera does offer up to 3200 ISO for low light conditions, and this is perhaps where the limitations of the processor show up most: compared to a recent Canon I tested, which handled 3200 smooth like butter, this camera dissolved in a fever of noise, producing an image that almost looked like a movie still, with harsh, unrealistic outlines and odd lighting. It’s a pretty cool effect, actually, but it’s far from realistic.

If you are looking for a one-touch camera, there aren’t a lot of buttons on the TL100. There isn’t much you can do with the camera simply by pushing a button. In fact, I thought at first that maybe this model just didn’t offer any advanced settings. The top contains just the zoom control and the Smart Auto button. Smart Auto operates much like Auto itself, except it’s designed for totally novice users: it disables advanced functions and automatically selects the proper scene mode for the environment. Putting this control on top of the camera is a great idea, but where were all the Scene modes themselves, or the flash, white balance, and metering adjustments that the manual claimed were available?

The Samsung Sl102 is a Consumer Reports recommended subcompact digital camera. Cost is around $135.00.
