casio

Great camera. kenrockwell.com has a great website and rated the camera well and I bought it based on his review and my experience with an earlier model casio. The 7x zoom is rare for a camera this size and the lense does not extend and retract from the camera. That is one of most common things to break on a camera.

Pretty good, but has a few problems

This is a very nice little camera. I like it overall, but is has some problems. Things that I like are the way the cover slides over, Olympus Stylus style. It provides much better protection for the lens than the flimsy little eyelids on most cameras. The lack of a protruding lens makes it more rugged, I think. The display is big. It has very a manual mode and shutter priority and aperture priority, movies, and best shot.

But the things I don't like are these. The manual mode isn't much good, because it still automatically adjusts the sensitivity (ISO). Yes, you can dive into a menu and make it hold, but that resets when you turn the camera off. The little mode dial moves very easily, and it is often the case that it moves with me just handling the camera. It doesn't focus very close. (That is undoubtedly a consequence of not having a protruding lens.)

great little pocket camera

I bought this camera as a pocket camera for when I don't want to carry my DSLR. It does just about everything and some surprises rather well. I really like the 7x zoom and the fact that the lens doesn't extend. It also takes great movies.

Great for movies, OK for pictures

I bought this Casio to go along my new Nikon dSLR and I was not disappointed at all by the movie capability of this little gem. Between the anti-shake feature and the stereo sound, you get great movies from this little box. For the pictures, compared to the dSLR, it can't hold its own of course, but its small size means it's always with me and thus there are some shots that I have made with it that I couldn't have made with my Nikon... Also, its macro mode is pretty good and underrated IMO. Overall, an excellent value for the price..
