Rating: - Cute but no more than that
I actually had two of these. I had the first one for about eight months before I drowned it in a sweet martini which made the lens stick and the camera completely unusable. I promptly purchased the second one, which, after about two months, started resetting the date and time every time the camera was turned off. I bought another camera for myself, thinking to give this to someone who did not care about the exact date and time stamp, but, after two months of not touching it, I discovered that the display had turned blurry (again, the camera was just laying in a drawer, and definitely did not sustain a fall or a hit). It took me forever to find anyone at customer service to speak to. Finally, they agreed to look at the camera, but warned me that I may be charged for its repair. I sent in a letter describing BOTH problems with the camera (LCD and date stamp), and got it back in about a month, with the LCD fixed but the time/date stamp untouched.
The bottom line is, never again will I buy a Casio camera, no matter how cute it is. All my Canon cameras have lasted me years, and their customer service is the best. With Casio, you get cuteness, but not much else, AND they must have the worst customer service EVER.
Rating: - Not a bad camera.
My lug around camera was a hulking Nikon D200. I wanted something small to take on vacation and to the pubs, so, after doing some research, bought this. I won't belabor the upsides, just say it takes really good pictures. My only complaints are: the digital stabilization is a scam. Instead of using an optical system, Casio simply increases ISO setting which forces an increase in shutter speed. My other complaint is that after less than two years, the outer metal ring surrounding the lens fell off. Once dust and crap started getting inside the lens gears, the zoom and focusing eventually stopped working. I've since gone back to Canon for my happy snap camera and now own a Canon SD 800IS (which has since been replaced by, I think, the 870IS). I love my little Canons.
Rating: - slim and light and functional
for its price and size, it is an OK camera which produces OK pictures.
however, in my opinion, i've seen better picture/color quality with canon ixus and sony w-series.
Rating: - Great Camera...terrible company!
I received this camera from my Dad for Christmas the year before last...never had a problem with it until January of this year when it decided to not turn on. I thought it was the battery, but it wasnt. I sent it in, it cost $94 to fix it and then less than a month later it broke again..after plenty of screaming they sent me a UPS label to send it in with, and now its going to be at least another 2 weeks before its returned. I hate that it is broken, because i really LOVE this camera..but dealing with Casio is useless. I am trying to avoid buying another casio...although i think they take great pictures.
