Casio Exilim EX-Z600 (black)

Summary: Fantastic battery life. 2.5 lcd. I love this camera. I am a pro photographer and I have gotten more people to purchase this camera because of all of the qualities.

watch out for camera shake

Summary: It is the best digital camera I've ever used. I did a lot of research before buying this and I will never regret that decision. The LCD is huge and crazy bright. You can edit movies and pictures on the camera. The picture modes and settings are endless. You can take pictures of documents or other pictures and it will retouch and crop automatically and even correct it if you took it at an angle. It is super fast too. Just push the power button and shoot away. Going through the menus and reviewing is really fast too, practically no load time (0 between pictures). The flash is bright enough to light a pitch black room clearly. The videos are good quality and sound is good. The pictures are also organized by date so you can go to calendar view and find pictures from certain days. It is just amazingly designed and built. It is small but solid feeling. I bought two batteries but I did NOT need to. I never saw the battery meter go down with almost no charging after months and hundreds of pictures and videos and showing people all of them. I may have charged it once or twice just in the time it was connected to my computer. It was just stolen and I plan to purchase another immediately.\

HIGHLY RECMMEND. Get a big SD card, because you'll love taking pictures. And who needs to put them on the computer when the screen is that large, clear, and bright (even in bright sunlight)?
