"You Cannot Go Wrong!"
Pros: Size, 7x Zoom and a great movie mode
Cons: docking station
Summary: I've had this camera for 1 month now and it has been a pleasure to use. During the last two months I have also had the opportunity to use the Canon SD800 is which I returned yesterday (thanks to Costco's 90 day return policy). While I did prefer the 28mm wide angle lense and the LCD of the Canon in the end I felt the Casio had more to offer all around.
Unlike what c-net reported, I found it easy to navigate the menu system even without the use of the manual. They also felt that above 400 ISO was too noisy, duh what small point and shoot isn't (maybe the Fuji f31). To be honest if you truly want a camera that works in the higher ISO's for say low light and action then you need to get a DSLR. The picture quality of the Casio is on par with the Canon.
The Casio is fast small and has a 7X zoom that doesn't protrude from the camera that also takes excellent movies with zoom to boot! With this camera there is no need for a camcorder. What more could you ask for in a small p/s. You can buy this from CC for 240 and add the 2year accident proof warranty for 65 and still spend less than you you would on the Canon. To me it was a no brainer. If you want further info see Ken Rockwells report.
