Consumer review (epinions.com)

Works well, but when it stops working, you're stuck.

 

I bought the PDR-M71 a few years ago with some prize money from a contest. It was a good camera for its time, although it was really expensive ($400 on sale + memory & a USB card). The camera is pretty rugged, and stood up to a few falls. It takes ...

Physically durable. Good grip. Media is cheap. Uses AA batteries. Decent pictures.

Included software is pathetic. No OS X drivers. Support is virtually nonexistent. Uses AAs. Pricey.

Tough Camera, and Great Pictures, What more do you want??!!

 

This camera is very tough looking and acting. I feel that nothing can stop this one. It is unusually thick in size, giving at a strong look, not like a cheap thin camera. I like the feature that you can choose what quality and size you want to picture ...

Great feel, great pictures and quality, great bundled kit, and reputation!!

Cheap looking lens cover that you have to manually put on the camera.

Clear pictures, solid body

Major power problems rendered mine useless. Toshiba offers little in the way of support.
