Toshiba's sleek and stylish PDR-M25 is a 2.2-megapixel digital camera designed to offer consumers an inexpensive gateway into the exciting world of digital photography. Aimed at first-time buyers of digital cameras as well as current users looking to trade-up, the Toshiba PDR-M25 will be on retail shelves in November with an MSRP of $279, just in time for holiday shopping.

The PDR-M25 takes advantage of a wide spectrum of digital imaging technologies to enable users of all levels to capture dynamic, eye-catching photographs, whether it's freeze- frame action shots, sensational close-ups, or cherished portraits. These advancements include an impressive 2.2 megapixel CCD that provides image resolutions up to 1792 x 1200 pixels, together with an aspherical glass lens (equivalent to a 38-114mm lens on a 35mm camera) equipped with 3X optical zoom capabilities.

In addition, the macro mode lets photographers get as close as 3 inches to the action and captures intricate details missed by other cameras, along with a precision 2X digital telephoto that can be used in conjunction with the optical zoom to assure great pictures from any distance (total 6X). Users will also appreciate the 1.5-inch high resolution color LCD for instant preview and review of photos. You can use the color LCD for single image playback, automatic slideshow playback, nine-picture thumbnail function, and a 3X zoom.
