Basics are easy but long learning curve March 9, 2007

I purchased this camera for the pocket size and the great reviews. I remember seeing a movie (can't remember which) where the hero hands a gun to the heroine and she says she doesn't know how to use a gun. "Point it at the thing you want to kill", he says.
OK, so I can point this camera at the thing I want to take a picture of, but what are all the icons on the screen? A User Manual does not come with the camera (only a quick reference), so I go to the Casio website and download the 250+ page manual. I am a technophile, so it's entertaining to me to explore the features of this camera, but I've had it almost 2 months and I still don't know many of the major features. WIth time and study, I'm sure I'll finally understand my Casio Exilim.
Very easy to use February 28, 2007
This is a great camera for people like me who mainly just want to point and shoot and not deal with too many settings. I was even able to teach my mother-in-law how to use the one we got them (she's a little technologically challenged). There are a bunch of different "best shot" settings that are easy to use, but honestly most of my pictures have turned out best using just "snapshot" or auto mode, regardless of the environment/time of day, etc. It would be nice if you could charge the battery just by plugging in the camera, but I guess you have to pay a little more for that feature. The photo software that comes with it is not good, but there are plenty of other things you can use out there for free.

I've had this camera for a little over a week now (I know its not that long) and its been everything I hoped for. I took it out on a day trip and snapped 80 photos, loaded them on the computer and they were amazing, better than most of the pictures my friend's cameras take. It's small and pocket size and takes great photos, what more could you ask for at that price?
This was the perfect first camera for my daughter. February 17, 2007

I bought this camera as a gift for my 15 year old daugheter. She loves it for many reasons. It's so slim, she can put it in her back pocket and take it anywhere. It's easy to use and she has gotten a lot of great shots with it. She doesn't print out many of her photos, but emails them back and forth with her friends. Her best friend has a canon elph and the pictures don't look any better than the shots my daughter takes with her new Casio. The only problem we have ever had with it is one time the lens wouldn't close when she turned it off. We had to take the batteries out and them put them back in. Then it worked fine. This only happened one time and she's had the camera for about two months now and uses it pretty often. I think this is a great little camera. It takes a nice picture and wasn't too expensive.
The best word to describe is "Wow." February 17, 2007

I got this camera to replace a 3.2 MP Nikon Coolpix... and it instantly gave me a wow effect. The camera is so thin, it fits comfortably in your pocket to go anywhere. And the screen is beyond huge (my Nikon only had a 1.3 inch screen, so this is a major upgrade). The only disappointment would be the actual "resolution" of the image. I mean... the picture files themselves don't seem to be able to be zoomed in on the computer as much as I was expecting without becoming pixilated. But I guess maybe that's how it's supposed to be, 6 MP doesn't mean you can zoom and crop for eternity? Either case, I soon got over that... because the pictures always turn out great. Colors are accurate, pictures are VERY clear, even in a variety of situations, and the Best Shot modes are actually useful, unlike on my Nikon in which they didn't help very much. Also I must say that this camera is very fast at taking pictures, starting up, and recovering from the flash going off. Which is great. It's so annoying when you have to stand and wait with the "black screen" while the flash reloads or something. Finally, I will say that the included rechargeable battery is AWESOME! It lasts for... almost eternity. You can take hundreds of pictures on one charge... so great! Previously, I would always need to have spare AA batteries along, but not anymore! This camera will fulfill the needs of any normal person who isn't expecting an SLR-camera. I would recommend it to anyone. Before purchasing this camera, I put a lot of research into it's competitors. I say: Buy this one. It's great.
