okay, but pictures are often fuzzy and noisy. [Posted on 2006-11-24]
I got this camera on a real deal for about one hundred fifty, so I really can't complain. But that said, in my experience the camera leaves something to be desired. My previous camera was an HP 945, which was big, bulky, and very slow, but it took truly excellent pictures (beautiful color and very sharp) and had a very long optical zoom. Unfortunately, the HP broke and so I found this one as a replacement. I've had it for about 6 months and while it is okay and can take good pictures, a lot of times I'll review photos after taking around 100 or so and I'll be disappointed with many of them. Either they are fuzzy and out of focus (I mostly use full auto mode), have noise in them (based on other reviews I've read this camera is known to have more noise at lower ISO than other cameras), or just somehow be not quite right. The video functionality is nice and takes 28 fps at VGA quality, but it stores the videos in MJPEG format which really eats up storage space; also the videos often suffer from jaggies (i.e. appear pixelated) --- other Casio cameras are known to suffer this problem too (e.g. ex-z850). The camera is very quick though, and compact, and I like that it uses AA batteries. But I'm actually thinking of getting another camera for Christmas (maybe use this one as a backup).
A very good deal [Posted on 2007-03-30]
My previous camera was a Pentax S30. It fell from 3 feet (while in its case) and stopped functioning!
I bought this Casio because it has a viewfinder (a very useful, disappearing feature), had good reviews, uses ordinary batteries, is relatively good looking and was quite a good deal. Pictures quality and response speed are good (the Pentax is quite slow).
Cons: Memory card compartment is poorly designed (difficult to remove the card) and the covers for both the card and the USB are flimsy and ugly.
Also, there is plenty of unused space at the back so why not bigger display??
Bottom line: A very good camera.
Great Camera for a great price! [Posted on 2007-04-25]
I recently went on a trip to Paris for a week. Months beforehand, I knew I had to get a digital camera that would do justice to that city. This is it.
Its 7.2 mega pixels provide a clarity unheard of in most digital cameras. Its easy to use, but also able to adjust to the whims of a professional, with such functions as shutter speed, light adjustment, color variance, night shots, aperture and anti shake. For my money and situation, this is certainly the best camera to buy.
Only complaint: [Posted on 2007-04-27]
The only complaint i have about this camera is the difficulty of removing the SD Memory Card. When in the ejected position, it gives you about 1/8 of an inch to grab, which is further restricted by the memory card door. I usually need a pair of tweezers to pull it out.
Other than that, it is extremely reliable, easy-to-use, and works efficiently
Well worth buying to capture those precious moments!! [Posted on 2007-10-05]
This camera is nice, clean and modern looking. I've had this camera for over a year now and I love it. As a matter of fact, I own a refurbished one and have not been disappointed. I have been using a 128 MB SD memory card used from my previous owned camera and have been able to store a good amount of pictures (after lowering the mega pixels) and with excellent quality at that. But if you plan to use the video recording option, you definitely want to purchase a 1+GB memory card and rechargeable batteries. It uses a lot of battery power when in video mode. Thats pretty much the only flaw which is not a big deal, just carry extra batteries. I recommend you familiarize yourself with all its features so that you do not overwhelm yourself. By doing this, you'll be taking pictures like a pro in no time. There have been so many new cameras coming out, but I highly recommend this camera!! ;)
