A Swiss Army Knife of a Compact CameraDate: 2008-10-25 Rating: 10 out of 10For taking photos to enlarge, frame, and hang on the wall, I use my digital SLR. But the SLR is not portable. This is. I have this trusty little fellow in a small case on my belt most of the time. It has every feature that I need to effectively take a good photo or video with stereo sound instantaneously. It's small and not ever in the way, and because of this I am able to keep a photo diary of important life events in a easy, non cumbersome fashion. Used the camera on a 5 week travel trip through the middle east and europe in June. It was always handy and competently took photos and videos that were relatively superb for such a small camera. Doesn't come close to my SLR for photos, but the cameras fill two distinctly different but important roles in my photography life. Other reviews have said most of what I have to say.
**********************************************************************
I just want to add two more things - quite important to me: The video is amazing good and file sizes amazingly small considering the small size of this swiss army knife camera. Also, you can set the megapixel resolution down from 8mp to 6,4, and 2 to pull out up to 14x Optical (not digital) zoom (at 2mp). Sure, you have less megapixels for resolution and cropping, but you will end up with an amazingly clear snapshot of a red-headed woodpecker at 50 feet using the 14x optical zoom at the 2mp setting. Give it a try, it is absolutely remarkable.
*********************************************************************
It has its limitations as mentioned in other reviews, but come on, nothing can be expected to do it all perfectly. But this one does most everything, and granting a bit of compromise (I get a kick out of the guy who rates it bad because of some features that cause a blinking light or text on the menu...), wins the small camera ideal and comes in at the present head of the class. For this semester, A+ Casio.

BewertungencasioDatum 2008-08-05 Rang: 10 von 10Great 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.great little pocket cameraDatum 2008-05-31 Rang: 8 von 10I 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. Pretty good, but has a few problemsDatum 2008-05-30 Rang: 8 von 10This 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.)DisappointedDatum 2008-05-26 Rang: 2 von 10I bought the camera while I was on vacation in Chicago. It came with a small defect, where some photos went out "burned" on the right side. As is was not common and I didn't have time to return it, I didn't do anything. After 1 month it started to have a "lens problem" where it didn't take any pictures at all.
