 Go For ItDec 12, 2009
By E.A.
Small and lightweight, also well balanced so it does not slip from my hands.
Takes great pictures and has wide mode for both pictures and videos. Video recording is in AVI format which takes up lots of memory but you can watch and edit your videos on any PC without having to use specific proprietary software, also video quality is surprisingly comparable to flash memory camcorders.
Even though I haven't tried "anti shake" feature on this camera I wouldn't recommend using it as it is electronic based and will have impact on picture's resolution.
Last, I would suggest reading the full manual on the CD (142 pages) to learn how to take good pictures in different conditions and how to use advanced features and functions available on this camera.

 OK not greatJan 19, 2010
By J. Croft
Pros: Affordable, small, overall descent camera
Cons: Not super high quality build and only descent pictures not great
I'm a professional photographer and do not expect this to act like my pro gear but I also have been shooting with a Canon SD1000 which is the 3rd or 4th Canon Digital Elph I have owned so I'm comparing to my experience with those other little point and shoots.
The Casio is small, feels good in the hand, and takes a fairly descent 10 MP shot. I do like the dedicated video button and the fact that shooting in wide mode adds pixels to the sides instead of chopping off pixels on the top and bottom. The controls are simple and there are quite a lot of settings and customization options. Overall it takes a pretty descent picture. So there are a lot of cameras out there that can claim this. So lets get to some of my gripes that other descent cameras might not have.
The autofocus is kind of slow and sometimes will not even lock in so the picture won't take making you miss your opportunity. Even still when it does lock in it seems to be locking into the wrong spot because about 30% of my pictures aren't in focus where I want them to be.
The flash flashes twice (even with Red Eye not activated). This causes a considerable lag between pressing the button and the picture actually being taken. So 1, 2, 3 cheese and it takes on 4 instead of 3.
The auto adjustment in exposure is also slow so locking in a good exposure is a slow task. There are some good settings for how the exposure is calculated which allows me to control this better since I know what I am doing but I had to customize the settings which I don't think most average consumers are going to do.
It has a micro USB connection which adds a cable to my collection since my other devices don't use it but rather a mini USB connection. Likewise the charger is small but it has a considerably big electrical cable to go with it. These things lessen the portability of the camera. The canon's charger was tiny and the electrical plug twisted out of the charger itself (no cable).
I cannot zoom when I am videoing.
One of my biggest gripes is the camera doesn't seem to recognize when I am shooting in portrait mode (turned sideways for a tall picture) so I have to manually rotate all of my pictures in my computer. My canon did this automatically.
Conclusion: It is a cheap fairly descent camera but would be so much better if lots of the picture taking parts were faster, more pictures were in focus, and the details like cables and auto picture rotation were better.
I would not buy this camera again but I will continue to use it since it was given to me as a gift and I have it to use.

 Warranty doesn't cover the body of the camera.Dec 01, 2009
By S. Marshall
I purchased this camera from Circuit City before it went out of business. After a few months the door that holds the SD card broke. It is only held together with flimsy little pieces of plastic. We sent the camera and plastic parts back to Casio and they said "Sorry, the warranty doesn't cover the case, only the inner working parts." So, be careful to look at warranty info. You can find it online. I have 2 Nikon Coolpix cameras, one of which I dropped and damaged the lens. Nikon fixed the camera under warranty and gave great customer service. I would recommend paying a little more and not buying a Casio. You get what you pay for.

Love this cameraFeb 02, 2010
By Maniacs Wife
Bought this Camera for my 9-year old daughter and she has thoroughly enjoyed it. It is easy to use - point and click. There is a button to take the pictures, view the pictures or take video. It has a nice display screen on the camera and when downloaded they are just as nice. It is small and compact and fits in her little purses. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a camera for a young one that is not too much of an investment or if you just want a 2nd camera that you can take anywhere.

 Very goodMay 14, 2010
By Natalia Rutinel
Just as described. Received in good conditions. Since I am an amateur, it is worth the price.
