Awesome Jewel [Posted on 2001-05-14]
The gargantuam capacity of the IBM Microdrive makes this sufficient reason to get this camera. Fortunately, the camera is also surprisingly very portable and takes excellent quality pictures. All the thoughtful unexpected features of the camera are very much appreciated ie: photo management via the use of folders per day. The anticipated battery problem was alleviated with the purchase of the Casio battery charger/AC adapter and some rechargeable batteries. I'm totally happy with this purchase.

All vendor descriptions as well as the Casio web site said it comes with a remote control, but when I got the box, lo and behold there was no remote. Casio politely informed me that the web site was a mistake. They were however not able to tell me whether it comes with a remote that I could buy separately. I finally discovered, after studying the serial communications protocol of the 2300 and 2800UX, that the remote that comes with the 2800 (WR-1C) works with the 2300. But then, more surprises - the WR-1C is not available in the US - I had to get it from Japan. You are supposed to be able to use standard 43 mm lenses and filters by attaching the LU-8A adapter to the camera. But wait! This part too is not available in the US - I had to get it from Japan. Anyhow, the pictures I get from the camera are great! I just wish the movie mode had been of a higher resolution and/or a higher fps. That would have left little to be desired in this fantastic package.

Great camera, I'm not a pro, but so far it does everything I want it to. I was worried about the altitude limit on the microdrive (10,000). I live at 11,200 feet and have not had any problems.

This is an excellent digital camera: small, lightweight, easy to use, and packed with numerous preformatted settings for specific situations. For me however, its great virtue is the 340 MB memory card. I recently returned from an extended trip in Europe and this camera enabled me to log over 300 fine quality pictures without having to fiddle with and keep track of replacement cards. Better yet, upon returning home, I plugged the camera into the TV and was able to inflict an extended slide show on my loved ones.
