Should be a more popular camera!, January 15, 2006
Reviewer: Corey Thompson "Corey Thompson"
This is my second digital camera - my first was a Creative Labs 3MP that I
bought for taking whiteboard pictures. I am very happy with the Casio, as
it solves three of the issues that have prevented me from buying a
"decent" digital for some time.
First, it feels solid, which I like. The display is big, pretty bright,
and sharp. Amazingly, it fits in a jeans pocket (let's just say it's
noticeable something is in there though. It doesn't fit with keys in there
too.)
The camera powers-on and takes its first picture VERY quickly (about 2 1/2
sec). Most digital cameras that I've been evaluating do this slowly (5-7
sec). Further, the half-press to full (focus to picture) is very rapid
(one website said less that 1/10th of a second!) Full press is quite fast
as well (same website said 0.4 sec).
Finally, it actually takes good pictures. Certainly it is better than the
Creative Labs cam, but it is amazing the detail that 7MP picks up! Seems
to do well in low-light.
This is a great camera.

A note on features: Just about everything can be manually adjusted
(aperture, white balance, focus, etc, etc.) Many things can be
bracketed... it can actually rotate a whiteboard taken at an angle, which
uses one of about 20 preset modes you can choose from. I use them often,
and it enables you to save your own too. AND it DOES have a raw mode, it
is just in a hidden menu.

Great digital camera, November 26, 2005
Reviewer: R. FERLA "rl1"
I purchased this camera to replace my Casio EX-Z4 which broke. This camera
takes great photos. The controls are much easier to access than my EX-Z4.
i.e. there is a dedicated delete button, dedicated dial for choosing mode,
etc... The power button while small is much easier to press than the
EX-Z4. I was really looking for a camera with at least a 4x optical zoom
because I like to take lots of wildlife photos and I can get too close to
my subject. The downside to this camera is that it's too big to slip into
my pocket like the EX-Z4 and there is no cradle charger. I purchased a 2GB
SD flash card on the Internet and I'm very pleased with this!

Great Camera!, August 7, 2005
Reviewer: M. Doherty "Shutter Bug"
I have owned several digital cameras... 3 Fuji's (all wonderful) and 2
canons (1 great, 1 not so great) to name a few. This is the first Casio
I've owned and it takes stunning photos! Ideally I thought I wanted a
digital SLR but their large size scared me away. After much research, I
decided on the Casio and found that it takes just as good if not better
photos than my friends SLR's.
The auto mode is fine, but this camera really shines when you start using
the manual modes. If this will be your first experience with manual modes,
do not worry, Casio makes it fairly easy.
You will not be disappointed with this camera.
