Product Description
Now is the time for you to try digital photography. This digital camera can capture 1.3 million pixels as an uncompressed TIFF image, or select from six different resolution settings of JPG image options. JPG images are among the most popular and standard options used for email, Internet, screen savers, quality prints, or pasted into documents and presentations. TIFF image files contain every ounce of detail from the original 1.3 million pixels with no compression, and are commonly used by professionals for high-resolution prints.
Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's PDR-M11 pairs a 1.3-megapixel sensor with a simple non-zoom lens, making it a great choice for budget-minded photographers seeking a basic point-and-shoot that will let them share photos by e-mail and create sharp prints at up to 5 by 7 inches.

The camera's operation is designed to be as simple as possible--just turn it on, aim, and shoot. Focus, flash, and exposure are all set automatically. If you're hoping for more creative control, several settings can be adjusted manually, including the flash mode (red-eye reduction, off, on, auto), white balance, black-and-white mode, and exposure compensation. In addition, you'll find a trio of advanced features uncommon in an entry-level camera: shutter priority, aperture priority, and uncompressed TIFF image recording.

For power, the camera uses four AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. The big benefit to using standard AA batteries instead of a custom proprietary battery is that AA batteries are available virtually everywhere in the world, so missing a once-in-a-lifetime shot due to dead batteries won't be an issue. The downside is that a digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you're using the camera's LCD display. If you're an occasional photographer, you can get by with high-power disposables, but if you plan to take more than a handful of photos a month, a set of rechargeable batteries is a virtual necessity.

To compose your image, either look through the traditional viewfinder or use the 1.8-inch color LCD display on the back of the camera. Pictures are stored on SmartMedia cards. The included 4 MB card holds 10 images at the camera's default setting or 1 image in the highest-quality uncompressed TIFF setting. The card is reusable, but if you're hoping to take more photos before returning to your computer to transfer the images, you'll want a larger SmartMedia card.

The camera also includes a 2x digital zoom. This feature merely crops the edges off your picture and blows up the remaining image, enlarging your picture at the expense of image quality. Most photo-editing software will let you do the same thing to your picture once you've transferred it to your home computer, so it's a camera feature that's not often used. If you're looking for a similar camera with a true optical zoom lens, consider the 2-megapixel Toshiba PDR-M25.

The PDR-M11 comes with Image Expert software, a 4 MB Smartmedia card, hand strap, USB cable, and fjour AA alkaline batteries. The camera is covered by a one-year warranty.
