Summary: Great Value
Review: I think it takes great pictures in optimal conditions. Outside on sunny days produce excellent color and resolution. I have found that pictures at night or of fast moving things don't turn out well. The shutter lag time is also noticable. It is hard to take pictures of pets unless they sit still which is often unlikely.

Summary: Great Little Camera
Review: I will not reiterate what other reviewers have said, however, I would like to add or clarify that the manual says avoid using regular "AA" batteries as they only last 10 minutes. They are right. What it needs are the rechargeable NMH (2 come with it) and they last a very long time. Another point (that another reviewer complained about) is that the default mode of movie is easily changed to picture mode. I purchased mine from Sam's Club for $197 and they are including a 32meg. SD card. Greatest Value Ever. Soon to be available though is a QV-R41 with 2" LCD instead of 1.6".

Summary: So far, so good, plus great indoor photos
Review: I'm not a camera expert but I know what I like, and after spending three years with a Digital Elph where the indoor photos looked yellow and 2/3 of the pictures were shaky, I finally bucked up, shopped obsessively to find a new one, and picked this up.I'm very happy so far: -Indoor photos are great - skin tones and colors are normal;
-The colors in outdoor photos are wonderful;
-The flash ends up working really well (I've been using it to take pictures in very dark rooms and it's doing great);
-Almost no shakiness;
-The video capability - which is an every-once-in-a-while for me - is just fine.
-Battery life is excellent - though the camera sometimes thinks the battery is low and shuts off. I wish the flash refreshed a bit faster, mostly because I'm impatient - and I don't know how any of the complex settings work, because they don't ship a manual and I'm too lazy to read it online, so I'm missing out on something good - but so far I highly recommend it.

Summary: A CAMERA FOR BOTH OF US
Review: I've finally found a very reasonably priced 4MP digital camera that I like and my wife will use! We both like the 20 best shot modes that include a on screen detail description of each so that you understand how to utilize each mode. The menus are self explanatory and very easy to move through. It also gives me some manual override features that I like. My only con so far is that pictures using the digital zoom appear pixelated on a 4x6 print from a photo lab. I would not expect it so noticeable on print this small with a 4 MP resolution. The only other surprise is that there is no sound with the video. One option I did like was being able to resize a picture to a smaller resolution. This is great when your memory card is full and you don't won't to delete any of the pictures to be able to take another picture. Remember this is a $200 camera. Personally, I think the QV-R40 is easily the best value for the dollar.

Summary: older tech, but great for the price
Review: i've had over 10 different digicams up to an 8 mp nikon for $1m. i was looking for an upgrade for my wife, and i was drawn to casio because my son has one of the real thin, large lcd exilim models that is very impressive. the r40 is discontinued, but readily available on the used/refurb market. other than the thicker body (still less than 1") and smaller lcd (good enough) this model is a real quality peice. metal, not plastic, 4mp, 3x zoom, lots of good features. takes sd cards, and has some built-in memory. takes real clear, good color pics which can easily be printed well to 8.5x11 and even to 11x14. you can get them used or refurbed in the $125-$150 range. my wife loves it, so i got another for my daughter, and another for myself when i don't want to lug around my primary nikon.

Summary: Unreliable...
Review: I've had this camera for about 3 weeks now and I've been happy with it up until now. The features of the camera are great for the price but the instruction book is vague about the most important thing I believe a camera owner should have. Repair information. Yes, after three weeks, my great little camera now pops up a system error upon start up without any option to do anything. The manual simply states that it needs repair. On a 3 week old camera?! Ridiculous! However after some playing around with the USB (which BTW my pc was still able to read it) I got display and shooting back. However, any modification to the settings and it's back to system error. Mind you the screen is missing some items so I assume the software has been corrupted somehow. Sorry Casio. This camera (maybe a one in a million defect) is just not reliable enough for my memories...

Summary: Yuk -- I'm Returning It
Review: Just bought this at COSTCO for Christmas, after not being able to get the one that I wanted (an Exilim in the right price range). I am definitely bringing it back. It burns up batteries like NOBODY's business -- I'm on my third set of AA batteries in three days and I've taken fewer than 15 pictures! My camera is stupidly preset to the "movie" mode so it starts taking movies when you want to shoot snapshots; and every time you replace the batteries you have to reset this setting or it does it again. I just tried to take a photo of some mold damage in our apt., and the crappy Logitech I had (1 MP) did better, because this one tried to adjust too many things in the picture and lost the contrast. No thanks -- this might be a good camera for somebody, but I'm not impressed. I want a slim one that's NOT a total battery hog -- and at least not AA batteries! Yak...

Summary: Noisy, noisy, noisy
Review: Loads of great features but takes some of the worst pictures of any camera I have ever seen. It's almost as if Casio put in an "Add Noise to Picture" feature. If there is a great deal of light the pictures are okay (but mediocre compared to most other 4 MP cameras), but in anything less then the absolute best conditions it is completely subpar. It will be a long time before I purchase another Casio camera.

Summary: Average.....at best!
Review: Pros:
1)Takes great pictures outside and in situations with alot of light.
2)Pictures taken with flash look good, although more "white" than realistic.
3)Looks really cool.
4)Compact.
5)Very sturdy.
6)Easy to use. Cons:
1)Any pictures not using the flash or in high light situations (sunlight, etc) turn out blurry and are pretty poor. 2)The flash takes FOREVER to recharge. Approximately 7 (SEVEN!!!) seconds for the flash to recharge. This is what really kills it for me. I have a 1 year old and want to take pictures quickly, 3 seconds or less charge time like my old Kodak CX4300, a $129 camera!

Summary: Inexpensive, Compact, Fast
Review: The feature that I like the most is the fast startup time (about 1-2 second from pressing the ON switch to taking the first picture w/o flash.) The shutter lag (the time from pressing the shutter till the time the camera actually records the picture) is very small also. Casio advertises the lag time as 0.01 second and I couldn't feel any lag time so I tend to believe them. I bought this camera mainly to photograph my 4 month-old son, so the short startup time and small lag time is very important to me. So far, I'm very happy with this camera. The package contains two NiMH batteries and charger. No SD card is included but the camera has 10 MB built-in memory. The camera can use AA alkaline batteries (in emergency situations) but the batteries would not last long. At the default 4 mega-pixel resolution, each image takes about 1.3 MB, so you should definitely buy SD card to store your pictures. The size of the camera is also very compact and light. Very suitable for spontaneous shooting.
