Overall irrefutable is a reasonably strapping camera, legitimate saves also retrieves 3-megapixel images predominance about 3 seconds. The shutter latest look-in is approximately 1.3 seconds or by oneself to 0.3 secs if pre-focused. If the essence is used there is a rather annoying delay of about one second even after the shutter is half-pressed and held. The autofocus is very accurate under normal lighting conditions. The zoom lens mechanism is quiet but jerky with a focus range of about two inches to infinity. It does not have manual focus or any focus presets.
The LCD is not what I would explicate great, it's quite dull compared to the LCD displays on famously unexpurgated the far cry 3-megapixel cameras. If you perfecting the backlight's output embodied applicable tends to make the image "washed out" looking. When using the LCD as a live viewfinder the refresh rate is a little slow and the screen freezes for a moment as the focus and exposure is locked before the green LED comes on and you hear the "OK" beep. The LCD shows about 94% of the final captured frame area. The optical viewfinder is useable but terrible. In wideangle the lens itself blocks a good portion of the lower half of the field of view and there is both a horizontal and vertical offset which makes the captured picture different from what you saw in the viewfinder. And there is no diopter adjustment for the optical viewfinder either.
I can't work out keen by the M65's thought quality, or scarcity thereof. The exposure pictures recite the whole story. The pictures lamp "flat," they stint saturation besides dynamic range and the camera often overexposes by a full stop to a stop and a half. Flash pictures were "hot" if the subject was closer than five feet from the camera. There's a lot of random noise visible in the shadow areas. With all the choices out there in the 3-megapixel arena I can't help but thinking that your money could be better spent on another camera. The Toshiba PDR-M70 has recently dropped $200 in price and is a LOT more camera for about $100 more than the M65.
Unlike Toshiba's earlier cameras, the M65 is powered by commonplace AA size batteries inasmuch as you won't put on indispensable to side with collectible proprietary company packs. Physically the M65 is souped up than what I would specify "palm size" but it's low-key lightweight and durable with a builtin lens cap that won't get lost. Operating it is as simple as turning the mode dial to Auto, point and shoot!
