 Fine while it worked. October 20, 2007

The camera was reasonable for the first few months I owned it. It took pictures that were about what you'd expect for the price, and were perfectly passable for someone like me who just wants to take shots of memories.
However, less than a year after purchase it will no longer focus and cannot take a recognizable picture. I don't just mean that pictures are blurry, I mean that pictures look like some sort of thermal map from space.
It turns out this is a common problem with the focus mechanism. There are lots of message board posts from other users who ran into the same problem after owning it for a while and Casio will fix it for 150 dollars (practically the price of the camera). My particular camera hasn't been treated roughly or knocked around, and it isn't in constant use. In my opinion, any machine that fragile is defective, but apparently, although it's a known issue, Casio considers it to be an abuse problem.
Don't waste your money. There are plenty of great cameras out there.
 Inexpensive anywhere camera October 10, 2007
Don't expect stunning photos from this camera. It does have a great looking screen, AMAZING video capabilities, and a size that makes you want to take it everywhere. Good for 3x5 prints and for students putting images in facebook and whatnot.

This camera is everything that I wanted for a first camera. I didn't want anything too professional where I really needed the manual, and nothing too babyish either. This is chic, fits in the palm of hand and great for when i go out and take pics of my friends and family. The LCD size is large which I love!!! And the video is GREAT too!! You will NOT be dissappointed with this camera. I've had it for 2 years now and still no complaints from me!
Great for taking pics on the fly! August 24, 2007

I bought this camera for my son to take on vacation, but when it arrived, I kept it and made him take the old digital camera! It's small, slim design makes it super easy to toss in a purse of backpack, allowing me the freedowm to take pics almost anytime. (I did purchase a little case for it). It's features are easy to use, but the instruction book is kind of pointless beyond setting it up. Blogs helped me more. The screen is sufficient in size, clear and bright. I do wish it would take more than 3 pics at a time using the fast shutter (like for capturing a golf swing in motion), but for day to day use, it's really perfect.
Best Pictures I've Taken August 23, 2007

The camera is incredible. Low light, bad light, too much light, so far no issues. The only tricky thing is charging the battery. You need to take it out of the camera to do it. Other than that it has been perfect. I have taken it to all sorts of settings including ones where pictures can turn out blurry, and so far it has never failed me. I used to not bring a camera anywhere, and now it seems like this Casio is on me all the time.
