amazing little camera. great pics, large review screen, one button movie option is a major plus! |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-25
Exactly what I needed
Just what I needed. Mpeg4 videos; nice and small and with a price to match it. I'm no camera expert but the pictures look crips and vivid. The Best Shot button is great. The auto focus feature that supposedly focuses on faces isn't working all that great for me though, I must be doing something wrong. I also liked it that you can use pretty much standrad rechargeable batteries. The charger is very nice as well and has a USB interface. Works of 100-240V and 50-60 Hz. Excellent buy. | | Reviewed on 2008-05-20 
Worst camera ever!!!!!!!!
I moved from a Canon SD 750 to this Casio and it was the worst thing ever! Canon makes such good quality cameras that take great pictures then I go to this Casio and it sucks! Not only does it not focus on anything closer than 1.5ft, it just does not take good pictures. I hate this camera, stay with Canon they make real quality cameras. I just bought an SD 1100 Canon and I am throwing the Casio in the trash where it belongs. | | Reviewed on 2008-04-09
Fantastic camera!
I read a lot of reviews before I bought this Casio camera and they were right on. It's a great camera. I got it and didn't have time to look at the instructions, so I just started taking pics and videos and they came out great. I am very satisfied with this camera. It's small, easy to use and takes great pics and videos. An added bonus was the slide slow feature, my family loved watching our pictures on TV, plus the different background music was fun, too. | | Reviewed on 2008-04-01
Looks Cool, Horrid Camera...
I started out thinking this camera was amazing because it was so thin, but after some use I realized it's an honestly bad quality camera. It's design is pretty attractive, not on the level of say a Cyber-SHot T Series, but it looks good. The lens is quite large for only 3x optical zoom and takes up a little less than half of the front of the camera. It's very thin and has a large 2.8 inch LCD which takes up about 3/4's of the back. It has a convenient thumb-rest as well, making it easy to hold with one hand. Video recording is very easy with a touch of a button. The camera includes 30-some-odd best shot modes, which are seen in many cameras now. This is pretty much where the good ends. Its control system is unremarkable at best, with awkwardly small buttons and an uncomfortable zoom switch. The LCD screen is impossible to see in the sunlight and just emits the feeling of low resolution and quality. The menu system is fine, but they only include some features in the sidebar on the LCD so you have to hunt for the rest in the menus. The optical zoom is nothing special at 3x and the anti-shake is digital, not optical so it really doesn't work well and I believe it degrades image quality. On to the images themselves. The camera has very few ISO settings, and anything above ISO 400 looks like it's snowing. Even at low ISO's the camera's pictures look soft. One thing that really bugs me is that in some low-light conditions the color temperature is for some reason really, really warm, making the image look awful. I don't know why it does this but I don't like it. The camera's face-detection doesn't work at all. Sometimes it thinks something's a face when it isn't, and it's only successfully worked for me about 4 times out of a good 600 pictures with this camera. I'd say a good 250+ had people's faces in them. That's a 1/62.5 chance of working at best. When it all comes down to it, this camera is somewhat good looking but this can't compensate for terrible, super-soft pictures. I'd give this camera a pass and buy a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T70 of Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. These cameras have about the same resolution but larger screens, optical stabilization, and the take good pictures. The Canon has a wide-angle lens and 3.6x optical zoom while the sony has a touchscreen and super sleek design. Casio's a small company and doesn't have the build quality or production capapbility or funding to produce a winner yet. It's worth the extra money for one of the other ones, trust me.
PROS:
-Somewhat Attractive Design
-Large Screen
-Easy Video Recording
CONS:
-Terrible, soft pictures
-Low light pictures have really, really warm color temperatures
-Limited ISO range, high ISO's are super noisy
-Cheap build quality
-Face detection doesn't work
-No optical anti-shake
-Small, awkward buttons | |
