Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I had one , that doesn't work anymore, thought I could find a better one that works , but not the case it don't focus very well either.......When it was new it couldn't be beat, but they are about 10yrs old... Didn't pay much, so not mad.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
After tiring of hauling around SLR type digital cameras, I purchased this camera as a competent replacement that I could slip into my pocket. I'm no professional photographer, but like to have my pictures look nice and this camera really fits the bill. Likes: The size - it is remarkably small. I purchased this site unseen, only relying on reviews and was shocked to see how small it was in relation to it's features. Extremely portable, make sure to use the wrist strap so that you don't end up dropping it. The battery - This thing seemingly NEVER runs down. I take pictures probably two or three days out of the week, and I am running on a full charge after 25 days of use with this camera. It is unbelievable, by far the longest lasting battery I have ever experienced with a camera. The display - Nice, sharp 2.5" LCD, works wonderfully The best shot settings - gives a lot of options and includes different movie settings too Movie setting - sharp 30 fpm, as clear as any video camera I have ever had Dislikes: The zoom - After having a camera with a 10X optical zoom, the 3X leaves me wanting, but it really is a rare instance that I really need it, just a nice to have that I miss Expensive accessories - You either have to place it in the dock or buy an expensive cable to display the pics on a TV Overall, this was a very good purchase for me and an excellent choice for a point and shoot hi res digital camera. The zoom is the only thing keeping me from rating this 5/5Read full review
i bough this orignally from this very site Ebay for $290 (s/h included, oct 2005) and i've had it for a few months now and everything still works fine. I upgraded from an older casio (exz50). Pictures are excellent with the exception of low lights such as at night; it gets pretty grainy, even with flash. This was the same with my older casio (exz50). i think it is one of casio's major flaws. the flash is also very weak. To make up, I like to use one of its "best shot" mode: "night", but its a slow shutter so u have to be very still for a while or its gonna get messed up (blurry specificallly). But that function would only be practical with scenaries, because your friends would get annoyed having to pose for so long haha. Another thing is pictures can get a little bit over-saturated, but you could turn it down a notch. Of course like most cameras, the quality is perfect in daylight, but i'd like to use my camera anytime 24 hrs. Movie mode is a + with the exeption of it only being able to "digital zoom" during a movie(no point in zooming because quality lowers the more u zoom). But as this camera rivals with the canon SD500 or 550, its the same. i was able to test it at the shop. in fact I don't know any digi cam that can "opt zoom" during a movie, so that quality wouldnt change, but if you do, let me know! The reason why chose this over the SD500/550 is because its manually operated/functional where as the canon is just point-and-shoot, more "automatically", but sometimes that's not such a good thing because u want to be able to adjust things. battery life is a +++ (record breaking), but i guess thats the reason for grainy LCD in low light and weak flash. Oh and did i mention it has a crzy-grainy LCD display at night? not to be confused with grainy PICTURES at night. ITS BOTH. the resolution isn't really that good for a 7.2mp, not to mention that the files for are overwhelming big and waste of space on the computer. Sadly usually i set it to 5.0mp resolution because it has the same effect + smaller size files. Every now and then i regret getting this camera. about the physical qualities of it..i'v heard a lot about its fragile LCD and optical zoom so i tried to be really careful with it. I've heard that it tends to turn on by itself while in the bag therefore the opt zoom breaks. I havent had any "breakage"..............yet. (hopefully, i'll edit this review one day to a "never".) Overall its very useful and has a lot of functions; thats whats keeping me from giving it a 3, but for sure its not a 5.Read full review
Likes: LCD Screen - virtually no lag, sharp and detailed pictures. Love the calender playback mode which allows you to see which photos you took on certain days. Lightning fast turn on and shot-to-shot times. Battery life is exceptional (this was one of the main reasons I bought this camera, I figure what good is a camera if it lies dead in your backpack - this battery is good for a day of shooting +). Solid metal and plastic body which could probably take some abuse. The camera definetly has a wow factor with the combination small body/large lcd/lightning fast boot times. Dislikes: Optical viewfinder is useless, low-light performance is subpar due to small flash and noise at higher iso(s). Photos are a tad bit oversaturated but this can be adjusted in the camera settings. Cradle seems a little flimsy compared to the camera but does the job. Summary: Overall this is one of the best subcompacts I have owned. I prefer this one over the Sony Cybershots because I think it has better handling for its size, yet it's small enough to stash away in a shirt pocket. It makes a great companion for those quick shots that you just can't miss, and the movie modes are some of the best i've seen - including a mode that starts recording 5 seconds before you even press the shutter so you are sure to capture the shots you are looking for. I personally wouldn't use the camera for large prints above the 11x14 range, but I feel that is more than adequate for smaller print sizes. Of course noise will only be a major issue if you are trying to produce large prints from this camera, which I would personally leave to a dSLR in low-light settings. While probably not suitable for "pro" applications, Any average user will be more than pleased with this camera, as its use is intended for.Read full review
