4 out of 5 stars Fine Little Camera   September 30, 2008
G. Brink (Dallas)
This little camera is amazing. It is the 4th small digital that I have tried out in 4 months. I was interested in a fast shutter speed for taking photos of small grandchildren who move constantly. I would rate it highly especially for a camera of this size. The images have come out very clear.... even better than I had expected. The most exciting feature of the camera is that is very easy to use but when there is a question in using it , the 800 telephone number that is available to call, has smart tech supporters that are extremely knowledgable and helpful. I would recommend this camera to all.


2 out of 5 stars Not Worth It   September 23, 2008
John Covington (USA)
While shiny and slim, boasting a 10.1 MP range and of course the Casio label...this camera falls short in several areas.

The anti-shake does plainly NOT work as it is supposed to. Insanely blurry and shaky pictures come from a steady hand with the MAXIMUM anti-shake setting turned on. Even in proper lighting conditions this feature simply falls short....very, very short.

10.1 MP? Yes...in studio quality lighting. In anything else, you're looking at the rainbow speckled, grainy mess that typically come from cameras with a much lower price tag.

And what on earth was casio thinking making a camera that has to have the battery REMOVED and charged in a wall-outlet charger? Not only is this feature annoying and inconvenient, but the battery life of the included lithium ion battery is simply dissapointing.

In conclusion, this camera is slow to respond, has inconvenient accessory requirements, plus a total lack of user friendliness. I'm no camera dummy and even I have been having my share of troubles with this one. So...while well designed, sleek, and useful at times, for the price tag, this camera is simply--not worth it.

I love this camera, it's my first ever. The quality is great and the features are plentiful and I highly recommend it! Make sure to buy the 4 Gig memory card and you'll be able to take up to 20,000 pictures when the megapixel is set to the lowest or email-ready pictures... Also you'll be able to record video up to about 4 hours!


5 out of 5 stars Very crisp pictures   September 10, 2008
J. Branham
I purchased this camera just prior to a vacation with the family. It has performed very well. The battery lasts for several days with out recharging, the pictures are amazingly clean and sharp, the pictures can be enlarged a great deal with no pixelation, the controls are logical and easy to use, and the camera is quite rugged (it has been dropped from 2-3 feet onto moderately hard surfaces a couple of times).

I purchased this with the waterproof housing and have been very impressed. I have been on ten dives with the camera and case and have been pleased with the pictures. The flash is very well underwater when you are up close. I have not had any leaks nor problems with humidity. Definitely worth buying.
