Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: I think this is a great product. My only complaints are: 1) It should have come with AC adapter, the camera is useless for uploads without it. 2) sucks batteries (microdrive? ) 3) It takes too long to "bootup" when you turn it on to take a quick picture. 4)The .jpg pictures turn out much darker than how they display while on the camera (I haven't figured this out yet.).

Summary: Great Camera
Review: Looked at and procrastinated buying a digital camera tillnow. This is a great camera and has many features, but the best is theIBM Microdrive. To be able to capture all those pictures and not fumble around changing disks, memory cards, etc is great. I was looking at the Sony FD 88, but when I looked at the picture quality difference for close to the same price, with the Micro Drive, same price with the chip, the choice was easy. Truly a great camera. Oh almost forgot to mention the great F2 lens... enjoy END

Summary: Well worth the money
Review: I scouted the market a long time before choosing the Casio and it was well worth the investment in time and money. There's little to complain about in this camera and much to love. I love:* The stunning image quality. * The IBM MicroDrive. I didn't want to have to worry about downloading images while on a trip, and with its 245-picture storage (at the highest resolution), the Casio solves this for me. Given the MicroDrive's hefty price tag, its inclusion makes the camera very good value. It even slips into my Win CE handheld computer and does double duty there. * The choice between full automatic and manual control. * The panorama and movie modes. * The look and the feel. It's not an ultra-light, but it's no heavyweight and it looks handsome. The design is somewhat right-handed, but even as a leftie I found it comfortable to use, holding it in my right hand while adjusting menu controls with my left. Now, I'd just like to know how you avoid smudging the display screen when using the viewfinder! (A problem I'm sure many digicams share.) * The good documentation. It'd be nice if it had an index, but it's well written. What I don't like: * The lack of inclusion of an AC adapter. Save yourself time and order one when you order your camera. I've found battery life not too bad using NiMH rechargeables, but the AC adapter makes all the difference when downloading images and when you're just playing about learning how to use the camera. * The off-centre tripod mount. * The lack of an 800x600 resolution mode.

Summary: This Camera is fantastic (Not Heavy at All) !
Review: The 340 MByte hardrive is almost worth the price of thecameraalone. (...) The picture quality is the state-of-the-art. Thecamera is sold-out everywhere. After seeing the other review on how heavy the camera was I had to tell you that it is very light (Less than a pound) lighter than the Kodac DC-290.

Summary: EXCELLENT camera
Review: I don't agree with the person who said it's too heavy. Compared to a 35mm camera it's very light. Besides, what other digital camera offers 3x optical zoom, a microdrive bundle that lets it store ~250 highest quality pictures (or thousands at lower res/quality), great controls, good battery life, breathtaking images, and fast upload (USB) to the computer, at this price? Nikon? Sorry, can't use a microdrive. Canon? Lots of complaints about image quality. Kodak? Great color, but no 3 megapixel model yet and slooow operation - plus the DC290 is bigger than this Casio. Casio is not a respected name in cameras (yet) but this model is an aggressively priced state of the art entry.

Summary: Film quality pictures finally from a digital camera
Review: This is by far the easiest digital camera to set up and use. Load the media, put in the batteries and point and shoot. Pictures that take your breath away. Pure color, excellent detail. The IBM Microdrive can let you take pictures until your shutter finger hurts. The camera package is a steal with the microdrive. The only downside is alkaline batteries and no AC adapter included. Works for a very long time with rechargable NiMH AA's. I had also bought a Canon EOS film camera I took it back and kept the Casio. It's that good.

Summary: too heavy
Review: I like the fact that the Casio camera uses IBM's Microdrive, but the camera is too heavy to carry around when I went on vacation.

Summary: Casio QV3000EX3.34 Digital Camera w/ 340 MB MicroDrive
Review: I have enjoyed this camera more than any other "high tech" thing I have ever bought! The 340 MB MicroDrive is wonderful!! The battery life is very good if you conserve power by using it like a regular camera with the display turned off. Also, I don't review shots on the display either because you have so much room on the 340 MB MicroDrive, I just take a lot of pictures and edit after the fact on my computer. The most shots I have taken with one set of batteries, using the conservation mode described above, is 83. I get very clear crisp pictures even in less than optimum light conditions, such as my grandson's after-dark football games. I have never had one technical problem with it since I bought it exactly one year ago this month. The only negative thing I can say is that I still get double shots some times, but with the 340 MB MicroDrive that has never been a problem, just confounding. I love pictures; I take a LOT of pictures; and I have been more than satisfied with the Casio QV300EX camera. I would highly recommend it to anyone; and I do not understand why it is not on the best seller list! You definitely get a lot for your money.

Summary: A Great Camera
Review: I've had my Casio for just over 2 years. It is extremely easy to use and with the hard drive, I mindlessly shoot shots at the highest resolution (2048x1536)knowing that storage is no issue. Having the HD has changed the way I shoot photos since with "no storage issues" I take multiple photos per topic and decide later on my computer which ones I'll use and delete the rest. Accessing photos with the USB port is as simple as plugging in the USB cable and double clicking the "drive E:" icon that appears in My Computer. Although the Casio software is ok it is not as effective as some of the commercial software that is available. After trying a few packages I've settled in on using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Irfanview (which is free) to edit my photos. I've printed 8x10 photos on my Epson ink jet printer with Photo paper and the results are superb. A high resolution, poster size photos can be printed. Since day one, I've been using Kodak rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and battery life has not been an issue at all. The 3x optical zoom I use extensively and I've never used the digital zoom. An excellent camera that I highly recommend.

Summary: this camera is a workhorse
Review: We have used this camera on several three week or longer trips, carrying extra rechargable batteries and using a bigger storage chip. We get up to 1,000 photos, sometimes things get a little slow after 800, who cares! Weddings, camping, Grand Canyon, Penobscot River: the camera is flexible from macro flower shots to large vistas. Easy to use, easy to remove unwanted photos, EASY EASY EASY to upload. like the view library. Plan to buy one more so we don't have to share, have bought one for daughter, now thinking about one for son for Christmas. Online pricing today... Love this camera, it works hard and takes great photos.
