Strengths: Small, great pictures, easy to use, very good video.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I really like this camera. mainly because it's small and easy to use. I have a big SLR type digital camera but I never use it because its so big, bulky and complicated. I also feel like I have to be so careful with it I never take it anywhere. That's where this camera shines. You can take it anywhere in your pocket and take pictures of anything and everything. Just point and shoot. It's not so expensive you have to worry about it but it takes great pictures. also it has an ebay picture mode so taking pics for the net is easy and it also has a straight to youtube feature so you don't have to spend time shrinking and read adjusting photos and video. For me this was a smart purchase and I'm very happy with it.

Strengths: love its sleek design; great for its price; use SD/HC.
Weaknesses: Short battery life though
Summary: It's a very slim digit cam with 8.1M pixel and 3 X optical zoom, enough for daily picture taking.This camera has many many features, like all that popular stuff typical of nowadays (auto-shutter, face detection, shake reduction, etc.), and many "Best Shot" modes making some good pictures. Casio has showed me that they can make GREAT digital cameras.

Strengths: Out of the box it was easy to use. No problems trying all the features.
Weaknesses: None at this time
Summary: If you are looking for a small, all-in-one camera that takes good pictures, this is it. It does have some limited growth potential if you want to explore. If you want to use external flashes or be able to change lenses, look to the Digital Rebel DSLR line instead. Check out Transcend's SDHC cards. A 2GB card holds a little over 600 pictures. I'm used to higher-end DSLR cameras. In comparison, these images are a bit noisy when looking at the images full-size on a computer, but I believe that to be a trait of all digital cameras in this price range because of the very small physical sensor size. I've had some one-hour photo prints made, and they look great.
