Looks are more important. June 11, 2006

This camera is definately a eye-grabber.
It's skinny, pretty , and black, which makes it look even slicker. The screen is big and viibrant. And it's fairly easy to use. Unfortunately the pics aren't the best . I previously owned a canon a520, and i believe it took better pics than those of of the z60. NJot a hugte difference, but you can tell. Which is kinda a down-er considering the 4.0-vs.-6.0 Mp difference.
Other than that the camer is a good choice especially if you want a camera mainy to take snap-shots. :-D
 Awesome tiny camera June 7, 2006

This is the smallest of the credit card size cameras on the market today - feature-wise the Sony is the next runner up but size-wise it is wider than this Casio. I did quite a bit of research before buying this camera because I already had a perfectly fine small digital Canon but I wanted a "credit card" sized one for trips and conversely for black tie events so I could slip it into a tiny purse. I'm not disappointed. The Casio S600 costs $100 more and that's cuz it makes MPEG movies but since many programs call for AVI and since I already have a couple mini-DV movie cameras that feature was not worth the extra money to me. For $249 this camera is a gem. On my recent trip to China many people saw me using it and were blown away. The LCD screen is quite large and the battery life is incredible - lasting for days, hundreds of pictures and abusive LCD viewing! I used the 6mp quality setting and don't know why anyone would complain about the image - it looks great. The picture taking is instant without that dreaded delay of most digital cameras. If the camera doesn't have time to auto-focus it shows a red square and then you need to half click down again until it locks into focus (green square), but usually it catches the focus right away. The only thing I wish is that it had a view-finder for those days when the sun is glaring and you can't see the LCD but I found that none of the tiny cameras have view-finders so I guess that's the trade-off to get a tiny camera. I highly recommend this camera.

Super slim, takes good pictures(not great, but I ain't no professional photographer). You get a lot of camera for your money. The only thing I don't really like about it is that I have to remove the battery from the camera to charge it. Its no big deal as it has an internal battery that keeps the time/date for about 30 hours.
 Nice looking but a bit noisy sensor May 12, 2006

This camera is really very portable and nice looking. It is small enough to slip into your pocket without disturbing and it has lots of nice features on the menus.
But concerning the image quality I was not quite satisfied.
The sensor is way too noisy. Even at ISO 50 you will see a lot of digital grain on the image. With a filtering software like Neat Image it can be reduced to an acceptable level but that's more work to do.
Also, at 6Mp you will see many defects of the lenses like color separation on the borders, glare, lack of details. The images look very good at 1600x1200 (2Mpixels) though.
With some noise filtering they look good at 2048x1536 with some optical aberrations still visible. Using the image at full size just get way too defects to look good.

The black anodized alluminum body may show ugly briliant scratches if you do not take care with the camera.
