Good Points
Fast start up, good focusing, compact. Was good value at the time.
Bad Points
Knob breaks off. Too expensive to repair
General Comments
We own 4 of these Toshiba PDR M4 digital cameras. We used them on field evalautions, travelling extensively with them. They worked well because they were simple and fast to operate. The issue is, as others have found, the knob breaks off. I notice the newer models have a smaller knob.
I too would love to buy new knobs and fix the broken ones I have.
It is amazing that Toshiba is still selling these as refurbed units for $250 US.
