Summary: Design may fool
Review: This camera is not what it seems to be. The pictures come out grainy every time. I had the ex s2 digital camera that only had 2.1 mega pixels and it took better pictures than this. I do not recommend because the pictures are not good at all. Horrible in fact

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just great
Review: This is my first digital camera. I was looking for something very small and nothing complicated. The large screen is perfect,and the quality of pictures taken is very good. And guess what, in my masters program with nine students, three of us are already using this camera. Way to go Casio, we just love yer!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Small but not worthy
Review: This was my first Digital camera. I must say its small and easy to carry around. But it delivered poor quality prints in the mail. Not very good resolution. I also did not like the set up of the zoom buttons and on and off. Also having to miss a shot to get to the shot setup first. Cant go fast from portrait to landscape. I brought mine back to store and now I am using another type. Will let you know on that one.

Summary: looks ok, shame about the pictures
Review: When I bought this camera, I was rather impressed by its monster two inch screen. The menu is impressive, but badly animated. The movie-making feature is probably the best feature. The Casing is lightweight and nicely shaped. The shutter works at awesome speeds. The battery is everlasting.

However, this "camera" fails to do one thing (which I think cameras should be able to do). And this is taking good pictures. I mean, for god's sake! Even my dad's cranky 4 year old 2.1 megapixel canon takes better pictures!!! I am considering going right back to the shop and trading it in for a canon. 4 years it has been since the first 2.0 megapixel digital cameras came out. And what has happened? They have got worse (Casio's at least). The pictures come out with really bad quality pixels. Sometimes the picture can come out really blurred. As for the two inch screen, its absolute rubbish. Canon has got much better screens. No offence to Casio, they make things that people usually want, but they just don't have a clue about making cameras. They should stick to making watches.

So all in all guys, do your research, and make your own evaluations. I only wrote this to help you make the right choice (Canon). But from my point of view if you want to take good and high quality pictures, this camera is a no-goer.

cheers, and good luck
