GREAT for Mom's who want to capture daily photo ops........2005-12-18

I've had this camera with me every day for almost two years old and I still love it! I have a toddler and an infant whom present me with constant photo opportunities, so I carry this camera in a small bag in my little purse. This camera has freed me up (where film and larger digitals didn't). I can (and do) take pictures all the time (just over 6000 in 21 months). I would advise people with larger hands (especially men) to get a hold of a model (store/friend) as the buttons are pretty small, but for most ladies, it works great.

Decent camera.......2005-07-19

This camera took fine pictures for me, no blurry circle or anything, and the zoom problem is because it has 3x optical, 4x digital, if you use the digital zoom, it doesn't actually use the lens to zoom in so it naturally looks very bad. I don't completely understand why Casio put this digital zoom feature in since it really serves no purpose, but if you only zoom in to the little line and no further, you will get beautiful picture for an amateur photographer. One complaint is the LCD is large, so its easily broken. Casio advertises it as being able to fit in a pocket, but the fact is I put it in my pocket once and was walking around, took it out, and the LCD was cracked and useless. I had to pay almost $200 to have it repaired. Now someone knocked it off a ledge while I was using it and then stepped on it so it is no longer in use.

Great for the price, SO small.......2004-10-20

This is a great, very small, pocket camera. It has served me well, I have now had it for a year, and find it to be very dependable and accurate. The pictures are either awesome, or grainy, one of the two. They're pretty much always great with the occasional lemon, but thats probably due to me not focusing it correctly. The LCD is great, 2 inches, but sometimes looks like there's that "snow" on the screen which is weird, but it still functions. My only HUGE gripe with it is this: When you look through the viewfinder (the glass viewer, NOT the LCD) the image you see in there is smaller then the actual image that comes out. So if you took a picture of a ruler, looking through the glass it would be say six inches, and you snapped the picture. It would really come out showing about 10 or 12 inches! not the picture you thought you took, however the LCD is accurate. Its great, buy it if you want a really nice small camera for the price.

Great camera terrible picturess.......2004-08-14

Just bought the Z40 model here in the UK, and did my market research afterward rather than before. I decided that on balance for my girlfriends needs that I had probably bought the best camera for the job, and although I find it just a bit too small to hold properly, Girlfriend loves it and it is impressive in almost every important area except that all our pictures are terribly out of focus in a circular region all around the image. It's nowhere near as good as our old Kodak 2MP Camera for image sharpness and so dissapointing we are taking it straight back to the store. It's like a great big blur filter has been applied by some retouching software, only it hasn't. I took a shot in the shop when I bought it and when we printed it out at home it shows the problem superbly. It's completely unacceptable, and I can't believe people would put up with it. Perhaps it's faulty. Probably will go for a Cannon, or anything with bigger better optics.

Handy product with big LCD, but NO VIDEO RECORDING.......2004-07-14

I bought this product from Amazon which at the time still adverticed video capability as well, which this product is really lacking. As I was only visiting US soil at the time, the offering from Amazon to return the product was not applicable.

Otherwise the product has proven to be handy - but this lack of camcorder feature is really a handicap.
