5 comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z110 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I bought this as an upgrade to a Fuji Finepix I had owned for several years. I sail in the Caribbean quite a bit and wanted something that was small in size, but would offer high quality pictures. Despite some negative reviews, I looked at this (in person) at a retail store and then found an online deal and bought it. Bottom line? No regrets. Solid value for the $. If it gets lost, stolen or destroyed, it won't be a huge expense to replace it. It's also very easy to use, with a super oversize view display. I did buy a special case to fit it (the camera is very thin) and a screen protector, since I had read about problems with scratching of the screen. I am very pleased with the picture results, so far, and am looking forward to using the camera on an upcoming sail around St. Martin. If you are seeking bang for your buck, this camera won't steer you wrong.



2. I was reluctant for years about buying a digital. I have always used SLR's and am extremely anal about the quality of my pictures. I like the ability to zoom, use different filters, stop action and enjoy the perks SLR's offer. However, I wanted something small and less expensive to fit in my purse and have with me all the time. I did a lot of research and it paid off big time. The camera is light, small and compact. It is about the size of a pack of cigerettes. Perfect size. Cameras too small are hard to handle and can break easily and too big would defeat my purpose. This one is perfect.
   Another plus, it runs on AA batteries so I can use rechargeables which I like. Plus, AA's are easy to find anywhere.
   With my 1 GB memory card, I can take hundreds of pictures. The screen allows for reviewing pictures taken so you know if you need to reshoot or how to reshoot right there, unlike SLR's where you don't know what you got till it's developed.
   There is a slew of features that are like the filters used with SLR's: Sepia, black and white, red hues, green hues, and about 20 more. There is the best shot feature which quickly and automatically sets up the camera for what you are shooting for (twilight, bright background, stop action, special effects, portrait, macro, ect.) The macro is unbelievable. In fact, close-ups with this digital are just as amazing as the ones with my $600 SLR. Plus, you can go to manual for creative control of aperture, focus, ect. It has all the benefits of an point-and-shoot camera: compact, quick, easy, self-focus and the benefits of a Manual SLR: filters, manual focus, aperture or shutter adjustment, macro, ect. This camera was able to shoot fireworks, the moon beside a mountain in the daytime, freeze a water drop in mid-air, take close-ups of flowers showing the pollen grains, and the list goes on. And the quality! It is so crisp and perfect. I don't even use my SLR anymore. This one is so perfect it replaced it. I'm not kidding. What do you want to photograph? Close-ups? Scenery? Family portraits? Pets running around? Night shots? Panaroma scenes? It does it. Whatever you want to shoot, it shoots with perfection. The quality, the variety of modes, the ease of use, I am just amazed. This was the best purchase, along with my iPAQ, I have ever made in my life. The price is crazy low for what you are getting. Oh, and the user guide, you don't need it. Everything is so easy, that you can start using it with all it's features right out of the box. It is easy to transfer to the computer. Everything is easy.
   You also have a video function if you want to shoot a brief video. The sound and picture are very crisp and impressive. Just remember though, video eats up major memory so this is good for a quick scene but don't plan on filming your daughter's one-hour piano recital.
   Another perk that I love, love, love is that when you do shoot video, you can play it back frame-by-frame on the camera and pick a scene out of it that you want to be a picture. Want a picture of your dog jumping in the air or your daughter in the middle of a cartwheel? Video tape the scene, play it back, pick the right moment when they are mid-air, and voila! You now have a photo at the exact right moment.
   I am the picky consumer. With this camera though, I would pay twice as much for it. It is that great. I love it so much. I couldn't of dreamed up a better camera. It's worth it. Buy it. You won't regret it, I promise you.
   Do remember to get a memory card with it, also. They are worth it. If you are a big picture taker like me, I would suggest 1 GB.
   While the camera has a great battery life, I would still get rechargable batteries. You can take pictures for hours and hours and they literally last for days with this camera, but I still like to use rechargeables only because they eliminate the need to buy batteries all the time.
   
   In summary:
   
   Buy this camera! The quality, size, features, price, cannot be beat. There are no negatives to this thing. Congratulations Casio. The EX-Z110 is truly superlative product.



3. I absolutely love this! The photos that I have taken with this camera are so clear and crisp and the colors are perfect. I didn't know when I bought this camera that it was set on VGA size, but after taking the photos into Paint Shop 10, I realized that they were pretty small, so I changed the setting to 6 megapixels. 6 doesn't sound like a whole bunch, but I can print these up to 20x30! This camera has a great anti shake setting and cool movie setting. I hardly ever use the flash because this camera performs very well with natural lighting and the flash is just not needed most of the time, that way I don't have to worry about red eye.
   This is a great camera to start out with and great to modify your own settings with also.



4. Outstanding in all respects. Produces great pictures in all kinds of lighting. Very easy to use. Video quality is superb for a small photo camera. Excellent sound in videos. We've been using it extensively for more than two years now, and had no problems at all.



5. This has many nice features that you do not find in other small digital cameras:
   
   1) Small Size (it's bigger than some digital cameras but about the size of a pack of cigarettes)
   2) Actual Viewfinder (many small digital cameras do not have this capability)
   3) LCD Screen (although a bigger screen would be nice)
   4) Uses AA batteries (instead of some proprietary format, which is nice when your battery dies when you are travelling abroad you can quickly find replacements)
   5) Uses SD Card (instead of some proprietary format)
   6) Anti-shake DSP (some digital cameras do not have this capability)
   7) 6 Mega Pixels (which is big enough for me)
   8) 640x480 movies @ 30 frames per second
   
   It's a great camera for the price - the pictures are good and it has a solid combination of features.

1. I absolutely love this camera because it's everything I need in a camera. It's small so it can fit in all my purses. It can create videos. It takes great pictures. The battery life is amazing. I've had it for almost a year now and it has never died on me while I was out taking pictures. I only need to charge it about once a week. I'm able to take a ton of pics with no problems. I take this camera with me to every event or function I go to and I've yet to have it fail me. I can't see myself with another camera. If I lost this one I would definitely buy the same one again. I definitely would recommend it.



2. I have already bought 5 cameras for some relatives and for myself as well. This camera is super easy to use and the battery lasts for ever. The pocket size is another plus.



3. this product is good overall, but i would recommend the newer version of this camera. the sd card i bought is for some reason uncompatible, the camera will not work. Buy the newer version



4. This camera is by far a great buy, especially the price. For novice user as my self 6.0 is enough for me.



5. This camera is small and light. It takes great photos and is very easy to use.
   
   I took 587 top grade pictures on vacation and the battery did not need to be recharged, very convenient!
   
   Only downside: Like most digital screens it is hard to see the screen in bright sunlight so I do miss the viewfinder but feel I can manage without it in order to keep the camera small.
   
   I bought a 2GB SD Card to use with this camera.
   
   I bought a great case for this camera on EBay, actually from Australia. It is made of neoprene and does not add to the bulk of the camera, and is better, for me, than any I had found in B&M stores.
   
   Because the camera is so small I found I took more photos because it was so easy to carry ... it was always there!

5 comments about Casio Exilim EX-S100 3.2MP Digital Camera with 2.8x Optical Zoom.

1. Wow! Casio really did a great job in designing this camera. It's very small; when I got it out of the box I was a bit shocked at its size. It feels solid in my hand. The on/off button is nice and discreet; a cinch to turn on, but it wont turn on inside your pocket, thats for sure. The rechargable battery is just icing on the cake; it fully charges in less than two hours!
   
   This is a camera for a person who wants great quality pictures, but doesn't want to spend all their money on a 5 megapixel, 2.5 inch screen monster. I turn the size to 1 megapixel size anyway so the pictures don't take up a ton of space on my hard drive. 3.2 megapixels is more than enough. Highly recommended for a first time camera buyer.



2. PROS:
   -big screen
   -if set to high sharpness it takes amazing pictures
   -very small
   -simple to use
   -fast start up
   -lightweight
   -attractive design
   -comes with a dock
   -movies go as long as there's free space on the memory card
   -movies with sound
   -many sceen settings
   
   CONS:
   -the screen could be better but it's still pretty good quality
   -no carrying case
   -average picture quality...which is now a problem for me because i'm getting more into photography...
   
   This camera is definately worth the $220 that I spent. (walmart.com)



3. I took this on a 2 week trip to Italy.....I took 1158 pic's and several movies, I was NOT disappointed in any way...the movie feature worked well, the avi's had a very good picture with no scramble pixilation issues, sound was very good as well... for it's size, a great feature..the pics are fantastic, I took several sepia and black and white shots as well.......
   My friend had a Casio 5.0 mega and the differences, once we had several photos delivered from Kodak were basically, so difficult to see that I am glad I paid less and bought this one...he was disappointed he didn't get better quality for HIS money...why pay way more for what amounts to almost unseen incremental advantage?
   On another note, I use photoshop extensively and cropped and zoomed many shots, unles you are trying to zoom into something very far away, you will still have a great shot, I took many architecural shots around Monuments in Rome and zoomed many of them, from 100 feet or so you are fine with this camera...you can still pull the details that interest you...
   
   The one draw back mentioned by others, which is a draw back for all LCD view cameras is; in bright light it may difficult to see through the viewer, but it takes almost direct light coming from behind to create this hazard, but as I said they all suffer that shortcoming.
   
   Other blurbs...its very small but easily manipulated..it fit into a zippered shirt pocket and its almost like you're not carrying a thing....the menu is intuitive....the battery re-charges within and hour......you can bring the cradle which comes with the camera, (which is compact as well) buy a $10.00 voltage converter and recharge in countries with different voltage outlets...
   
   I had zero issues with it...great camera especially for this price....I won't have to upgrade for quite a while.... :-)



4. My first digital camera and i'm rather pleased with myself. After reading amazon usa reviews of the ex100 i picked up a "bundle" that included the ex case and a 512 meg memory card. The camera itself is tiny, very well built and simplicity itself to operate. It will suit "snappers" rather than diehard camera junkies, such is the limitation of 3.2 megapixels. Overall at its current discounted price its a real no brainer of a bargain.



5. I have a big and bulky Nikon Coolpix 8700 camera but I needed something handy for my sightseeing trip to Japan. After looking over about a dozen smaller cameras, I picked this one. I haven't regretted it my decision!
   
   First, the looks of it: It is the most awesome hi-tech looking camera I've ever seen! And it feels sturdy (all metal case). Not cheap like some plastic body cameras. It feels "expensive"!
   I've had people compliment me on the camera and ask about it.
   
   Next: it is so tiny! And I really didn't need 8MP for snapshots. The 3MP of this camera has is quite enough for snapshots. The camera has an internal memory but you'll really need a memory card (I bought 512Mb card). I also bought a leather carrying case which can be strapped to a belt. That is how I was carrying it most of the time. Camera is also small enough to be stuffed into a shirt pocket.
   
   The LCD screen is very big and easy to see in all conditions except in direct sunlight shining from the back.
   
   Also, the tiny LiIon battery has an incredible life. I just put it in the charging cradle every night and took pictures all day. Never ran out of power.
   
   While on the cradle, it can be hooked up to your computer via a USB bus. I don't even use any of the software which came with the camera. My PC sees the camera as a USB storage device. I just manually copy the images wherever I want and then edit them using my favorite Image Editing software,
   
   It has zillion of features (most of which I'll probably never use). But I did play around with it to see what can be done.
   With a little tripod and some setting changes, you can also take some great night shots (using the timer release of course). When used in this mode, the shutter's open time is longer than normal and it processes the picture differently, making it quite a bit less grainy than when taking night shots using standard shooting modes.
   
   I also love the quick power up, quick focus and no shutter lag!
   
   And the way all the controls are laid out is very intuitive and easy to learn.
   
   There are many other features and other items already covered by other reviewers - so I won't go into them.
   
   Things I wish the camera did better:
   
   LCD display in low light conditions is quite dark (it doesn't "brighten" the display like some other cameras do).
   
   Since it is so tiny, it has a very weak flash. It doesn't do well in dimly lit rooms if the subjects are not right close to the camera. But, this is not surprising considering the size of this camera (no room for a big capacitor) and the flash tube itself is miniscule. Also, part of the problem here is that the largest aperture of the tiny lens is F4. Pictures taken in the dark can also be a bit grainy. But in daylight this camera works great.
   
   The lack of full printed manual is also a negative. Nice full manual is included on the CD (in pdf format) but you only get a skimpy printed manual which doesn't cover any of those more advanced features. I already know the basics. And while some people can deal with manuals viewed on the computer screen, I really need a paper manual. So, I printed it and had it bound. It helped me quite a bit to gain the insight into all the features.
   
   So far I've taken hundreds of pictures (and some movies) with it and I am extremely happy with this tiny CASIO! No mechanical problems either. As people in New England say: Wick'd awesome!
   
   And CASIO has been making digital cameras for a very long time. In the mid 90s I've bought a QV-100 (which I still have, and it still works). That was a first digital camera made which used LCD screen and had a tiltable lens! It had a mind-blowing VGA (640x480) resolution! :-) And it downloaded pictures via a serial port. Now, CASIO is still making great, leading-edge products.

4 comments about Casio QVR52 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. This is a great product. Compact and easy to use. Very good picture quality.



2. This camera is a very nice product. The size is small, only a bit thicker than a Canon S410/S500. And though it is not as cute as the more popular and thinner Casio models, the price is a lot less and it uses stardard AA rechargeable batteries, which can be a big plus in certain situations.
   
   However, unlike the previous version (QVR51), Casio is NOT including the rechargeable batteries and charger with the QVR52, at least not in the box I received from Amazon.



3. This is my first experience with digital cameras.
   After some study, it is , so far a good one. The colors are beautiful and loaded into my Dell easily. Very short life of supplied batteries and the fact that this model is no longer produced are the only drawbacks detected.



4. I've had this camera for about a year and really like its performance. It's great on batteries (2-AA) and the features are extensive. Unfortunately, it suffers from Weak Battery Door Design syndrome, depending on a small plastic catch to retain both the batteries and the media card. My camera finally bit the dust on a trip to Sweden, when it fell from a car seat about two feet to the ground. The battery door catch broke and now it can't be used unless you hold the door closed with a clamp or really strong tape. If they had only designed the door as well as the rest of the camera-- in metal --I'm sure it would still be working fine.
   
   This is a common flaw with many electronic products. How many dozens of cameras, radios, CD players, etc. have we all seen with broken battery doors over the years? Unfortunately with this item, it's basically unusable if it breaks and impossible to repair.

1. I have owned 6 digital cameras (1 Kodak, 1 Casio, and 4 Canons) in the past, and this is the best yet. I had purchased a Canon SD500 last month but didn't think it lived up to its hype. I did extensive research and found this less popular camera. At first, I was reluctant because I had owned a Casio before (the Z40), and I thought the images it produced were subpar. But I read good reviews on the P700. I found a store that had a good return policy and decided to test it alongside the Canon SD500.
   
   I performed a blind test on my friends. I used all auto settings, with no photo doctoring at all. The P700 had more accurate colors and didn't have the blinding flash of the SD500. However, the P700 had a bit more noise in dark areas. 6/10 people preferred the P700 pictures over the SD500. The P700 has much more manual control than the SD500, so when I took new pictures using the manual controls, the P700 blew the SD500 away. Needless to say, I decided to sell my SD500.
   
   What I like most about this camera is the manual controls. There is an aperture priority mode and a shutter priority mode on top of the full manual mode. Other useful things I can control are sharpness, saturation, contrast, and flash intensity - things I haven't seen in the other 6 digital cameras I've owned. Of course, I can always adjust those in Photoshop, but it's just nice to have handy. Just a few more of the features I love already: AE (auto exposure) lock, auto bracketing, 25-shot stop action images, ability to shoot in TIFF and RAW modes (RAW mode is available through a hidden menu), autofocus area controls, metering modes, and the help icons.
   
   It doesn't have the greatest movie mode, but making movies isn't the reason I bought a digital camera - I would've gotten a camcorder instead.
   
   Many people think the design is ugly, but personally, I love the sturdy, industrial design. That was another reason I didn't like the Canon - because of its fragile body.
   
   As for the size, the P700 is not a super-compact, pocket camera. However, it's still small enough to fit into my handbag. The larger size also reduces hand-shake, a problem I noticed with smaller cameras.
   
   All in all, I believe that the P700 is a great camera for someone who takes casual snapshots but dabbles in serious photography as well. It is a great choice for those who want more than a regular point-and-shoot but doesn't need/cannot afford an SLR. I highly recommend this camera!



2. I have owned several digital cameras... 3 Fuji's (all wonderful) and 2 canons (1 great, 1 not so great) to name a few. This is the first Casio I've owned and it takes stunning photos! Ideally I thought I wanted a digital SLR but their large size scared me away. After much research, I decided on the Casio and found that it takes just as good if not better photos than my friends SLR's.
   The auto mode is fine, but this camera really shines when you start using the manual modes. If this will be your first experience with manual modes, do not worry, Casio makes it fairly easy.
   You will not be disappointed with this camera.



3. I purchased this camera to replace my Casio EX-Z4 which broke. This camera takes great photos. The controls are much easier to access than my EX-Z4. i.e. there is a dedicated delete button, dedicated dial for choosing mode, etc... The power button while small is much easier to press than the EX-Z4. I was really looking for a camera with at least a 4x optical zoom because I like to take lots of wildlife photos and I can get too close to my subject. The downside to this camera is that it's too big to slip into my pocket like the EX-Z4 and there is no cradle charger. The camera also does not automatically shutoff when idle when attached to your computer -- which drains the battery.
   
   I purchased a 2GB SD flash card on the Internet and I'm very pleased with this camera!



4. This is my second digital camera - my first was a Creative Labs 3MP that I bought for taking whiteboard pictures. I am very happy with the Casio, as it solves three of the issues that have prevented me from buying a "decent" digital for some time.
   
   First, it feels solid, which I like. The display is big, pretty bright, and sharp. Amazingly, it fits in a jeans pocket (let's just say it's noticeable something is in there though. It doesn't fit with keys in there too.)
   
   The camera powers-on and takes its first picture VERY quickly (about 2 1/2 sec). Most digital cameras that I've been evaluating do this slowly (5-7 sec). Further, the half-press to full (focus to picture) is very rapid (one website said less that 1/10th of a second!) Full press is quite fast as well (same website said 0.4 sec).
   
   Finally, it actually takes good pictures. Certainly it is better than the Creative Labs cam, but it is amazing the detail that 7MP picks up! Seems to do well in low-light.
   
   This is a great camera.
   --
   
   A note on features: Just about everything can be manually adjusted (aperture, white balance, focus, etc, etc.) Many things can be bracketed... it can actually rotate a whiteboard taken at an angle, which uses one of about 20 preset modes you can choose from. I use them often, and it enables you to save your own too. AND it DOES have a raw mode, it is just in a hidden menu.

5 comments about Casio Exilim EXP505 5MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom.

1. I really like this camera, Takes good pictures, it's light and small and very easy to use.



2. I spent over $50.00 for a 512MB SD card for this camera, and it doesn't work! Tried several SD cards, and the camera will not work with them. It WILL work with an MMC card, however. Have emailed Casio 4 times and have not received a reply. I'm sending the camera back to them, and I'll go find a camera that actually works like they say it's supposed to!



3. I ordered the SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 GB and I use Windows XP and at first, I followed the directions to a "T" and it just wasn't working. I searched the internet to see if anyone else was having the same problem. I went to the CASIO website and there wasn't any information about it. Finally . . . I got this weird idea in my head, that "What if I change the "USB" in the Set-up menu to "PTP" (PictBridge), maybe it might work." I seriously tried everything and I was crossing my fingers on this one. And honestly, from what I was reading, it seemed that SD card readers weren't working either, and I didn't want to have to fork out another $30-40 for one if I wasn't sure it was going to work.
   
   Anyways, I turned off my camera and turned it on after I had changed the settings and IT WORKED!!!!!!! You can either copy them directly using "Windows Explorer" to a different folder, or set it up to automatically copy the pics/video files to somewhere else on your computer. If you're using the "Photo Loader" Program (AWESOME that it automatically puts them in HTML form after you've put the pics in the library), you have to load the images through the program, which is really easy. (At least you can get your pics off the camera, now.)
   
   It's small and compact, which is great during a day of sightseeing and not having to lug around a heavy camera. It sits perfectly in the palm of my hand and I have long fingers. It has grippers to stablize what you're filming/taking pics of. I love all the options for "Best Shot." The 40x zoom is great for a digital camera. The movie modes are great, too!! The microphone works great. I didn't have to buy a new camera case, because it fit perfectly in my old one. I love the way the LCD screen swivels, almost like having a little camcorder in hand.
   
   Overall, the camera is great for someone like me, who'd like to experiment with "Aperture," "Shutter speeds" and manual focusing, as well just being able to take some pictures and be able to share them with friends and family easily.
   
   My only real complaint is that the "Photo Loader" software only sends pics one at a time through the program. (It's just easier to open a message and attach them manually.)
   
   I've also read that you can buy lens that attach, too. I'm not that advanced, yet. LOL! Anyways, check out http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/exp505.html for a more in-depth descriptions along with examples. (One of the main reasons I decided to get this camera was based on what I read there.)
   
   Edited July 19, 2008: I have now had this camera for nearly 3 years and it still takes great pics and videos. And we've taken over 15,000 pics using it. Recently used it to take video of 4th of July Fireworks, and I love that I can cut scenes before I download them to my computer.
   
   I've only bought SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 GB SD cards and every single one has worked in it. I have read online that cards bigger than 2.0 GB don't work with this camera, though. (Probably because the bigger cards were released after this camera was originally released.)
   
   Before I got this camera, I always had to edit the pics I took, but this camera, I've only had to edit very few, and it's usually because I set the wrong settings prior to taking those pics. So, the hours that I've saved from editing pics has paid for this camera so many times over.



4. I love this camera. The swivel view screen works very well when you want to take pictures at an awkward angle. As a photographer, I really need that.
   
   The camera is tiny. It can fit in the palm of my hand, and my hand is rather small. It can easily fit into my purse or perhaps a large pocket, so you can take it wherever you want to go. It is not so small that it seems easily damaged, though.
   
   The videos are the most amazing I've ever seen on a digital camera. Good quality and pretty high resolution. I love the fact that you can also hook the camera up to a TV to review your pictures and videos.
   
   I've never had a digital camera with optical zoom before. It was so much better than digital zoom.
   
   I think the main reason I love this camera is because it has an AMAZING macro focus. You can get the slightest little details in fingerprints, bugs, etc, etc.
   
   I didn't like that if I accidentally plugged my camera in before installing the driver for it, it would never work on that computer. It makes it clear not to do that in the directions, but I had forgotten a few times.



5. Mac users...
   
   My opinion is that for a Mac user you can't get a better camera for the cash. Plug and Play with iPhoto.
   
   This camera is the one to get if you want to spend less than $300. The quality of the images and feature set far out weigh the shutter lag. Super easy to capture those impromptu YouTube moments with this unit. I researched many and bought the Casio. Yes, a Casio (keyboards and calculators!). The EXP505 is a slick looking, compact camera that mirrors more exotic full size SLRs (I consider this camera to be a Point-n-Shoot). I agree with the others in this review section except for the dude that slams the Exilim for not going toe to toe with the big boys and the guy that had trouble with SD cards. Maybe he got a bum card or didn't format it with the camera before using. I have had no issue. Menu navigation is well designed.
   
   Things to note: AVI video format. I believe QuickTime Pro will handle the conversion. LCD screen doesn't fair well in low light. Battery will cause camera to "slow down" flash recharge after awhile (I've had my camera for over 1 year - much use).

5. This camera is small and light. It takes great photos and is very easy to use.
   
   I took 587 top grade pictures on vacation and the battery did not need to be recharged, very convenient!
   
   Only downside: Like most digital screens it is hard to see the screen in bright sunlight so I do miss the viewfinder but feel I can manage without it in order to keep the camera small.
   
   I bought a 2GB SD Card to use with this camera.
   
   I bought a great case for this camera on EBay, actually from Australia. It is made of neoprene and does not add to the bulk of the camera, and is better, for me, than any I had found in B&M stores.
   
   Because the camera is so small I found I took more photos because it was so easy to carry ... it was always there!

1. I loved the size and quality better than expected given it's compactness, but if you have to send it for warranty repair get ready to pay. The optical zoom broke after opening in my front pocket. I sent it back to Casio and they said it wasn't under warranty because there was a slight 'blemish' on the other side of the case - which voids the warranty. Probably a scratch from a quarter or something in my pocket. I called and wrote letters to no avail. If you are able to fix cameras yourself, go for it, otherwise go with a company with better customer service.



2. ive had this camera for around 3 years already! i got it as a present for christmas. the strap and one of the screws has popped out recently but it still works just fine. my sister has an even more expensive canon camera, but it cant even take pictures w/o flash w/o blurring but i find that the casio does it just fine. i love all the features on it, especially the different themes for video taking. the flash is really bright too.



3. ...with excellent battery life. very good at recording video, extremely pleasant image quality in still camera mode. the only feature lacking is the ability to adjust exposure time. but other than that it works wonderfully and i quite like mine.



4. Great little camera with big features....we love it and have had no problems with it....set the image quality to high if you want to have print quality pictures....set to lower if you are just e-mailing them. Auto feature takes a lot of guesswork out of set-up...easy to use menu



5. Overall, this has been a decent camera for me. It takes great outdoor pictures, and even though I've dropped it several times, it has never broken.
   
   My main complaint for this camera is that when it takes a picture indoors, everyone's faces come out extremely shiny. I'm talking about people glowing- and not in a good way.
   
   I'm not a camera expert, but none of my other friends who have basic digital cameras have this problem. I guess if you rarely take pictures of people inside then this would be a good camera, but I would not recommend it for indoor use.
