Amazon.com Product Description
The Casio QV-2000 Plus digital camera is a 2.11-megapixel camera offering 1,600 x 1,200 maximum resolution for still photos as well as 320 x 240 movie capabilities. It provides a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens, a 1.8-inch HAST LCD screen, and a cursor pad for user-friendly menu selection. Other features include auto or manual focus, autoexposure, auto white balance, a built-in quartz digital clock, an automatic four-mode flash with red-eye reduction, and nine special shooting modes.

While all these features are relatively standard with comparably priced digital cameras from other manufacturers, what sets the Casio QV-2000 Plus apart from its peers is its memory storage capabilities. It offers CompactFlash card capability (with an 8 MB card included) much like other digital imaging devices, but also supports a 340 MB IBM Microdrive (included), the most powerful method of storing digital images to date. With an IBM Microdrive, users can snap up to 400 high-quality images or 19 minutes of 7 frame-per-second video without having to switch memory cards or download. One IBM MicroDrive could replace over 11 rolls of film. This storage capacity accommodates anyone who needs to take a large number of pictures or who plans on being away from a computer for an extended period of time, such as while on vacation.

The Casio QV-2000 Plus is USB compatible and works with PC and Macintosh platforms. It operates on either four AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. Along with the QV-2000 Plus, you receive a USB cable, a serial cable, a Macintosh serial adapter cable, a software bundle, a 340 MB IBM Microdrive, an 8 MB CompactFlash type I card, a video cable, a soft carrying case, and a strap. The included software bundle enables you to instantly upload your photos to the Internet, to convert files into e-mail form, or to edit your photos with ease.

5 out of 5 stars Casio w/IBM Micro Drive.......2000-07-13

I just returned from 24 days in Europe. Before leaving (and after an enormous amount of online research) I purchased the Casio QV2000 w/Micro Drive from Amazon.com. I also purchased a rechargable battery unit that included a car adaptor. Since this camera loves batteries-it was great to be able to put in freshly recharged batteries everyday (the battery unit was plugged into the cigarette lighter of my rental car). The camera (with micro drive) has the capacity for 400 high resolution pictures. I took 375 photos in 24 days! Now I am editing & captioning them using the software that Casio provides. This camera was perfect for a long trip. It's easy to use & the micro drive means you will never have to worry about running out of memory. In addition, I used several of its features with wonderful results: Panorama-the Schonbruen Palace and Lake Geneva; Night-Charles Bridge in Prague, Street performers in Florence; Landscape-Swiss Alps; etc. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Buy.......2000-07-06

My previous digital camera was a Sony FD series w/floppy. I purchased it several years ago when the technology was just being introduced. Its lack of quality resolution,speed and capacity soured me on digital technology and I decided to wait a few years before revisting this arena.Well time has passed and after reading numerous reviews and checking out several cameras at retail locations, I decided to purchase the Casio QV2000. To be honest my main reason for selecting this camera was the Compact Flash slot due to my recent purchase of the Casio Cassiopeia PocketPC.Much to my surprise it is this camera which I have fallen in love with. Obviously the technology has improved and all the shortcomings of my previous camera have been addressed. I was just absolutely staggered by the ease of use, editing capability and picture resolution. There are two things which I dislike, 1) The lens cover slide mechanism feels like a disaster witing to happen, particularly when the camera is used by a newbie

2) Why don't they ship rechargeable batteries and make it so that you can rechargethem in the camera overnight with the AC adapter that should be shipping with this camera.

Item 2 refers to all digital camera manufacturers

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera - Software difficult.......2000-05-20

I just received my Casio QV2000. It's truly a great digital camera. Very easy to use and lots of bells and whistles. The Software that accompanies the camera is difficult, necessitating three calls to Casio Techsupport. I might add that they were excellent. User documentation is scarse, so call Customer Service and they will send the manuals. Call Casio for an AC Adapter. The recommended Olympus adapter does not fit. Otherwise, pictures are clear and well detailed. If you have Windows 98 Upgrade the USB cable connection to the computer will not work and you have to use the serial cable, which is slow and needs the AC Adapter.
