    "Excellent Choice with Great Photo & Movie Capturing Capability" on by shasahoo

    Pros: High quality stills; DV quality movie clips; super strong battery life; light weight; SLR look, 22 preset modes; what else do you want from this compact digital that's like having 2 cameras in 1?

    Cons: Little bit extra noise while capturing video is acceptable

    Summary: I am an amateur and wanna be a pro, but of course not a novice; and I must say this is THE best camera for users like me. Overall I am satisfied with this buy.

    "Awesome camera with awesome capabilities!" on by crazy4reptiles

    Pros: Great zoom function, extremely compact and lightweight, simple design and easy to operate.

    Cons: Has no optical viewfinder. The LCD is very hard to see when taking photos outside during the middle of a bright sunny day.

    Summary: I highly recommend this camera to those who seek a digital camera with great picture resolution as well as high end video capabilities in a very compact package. All options are easily accessible and easy to navigate and customize. Attach this device to a tripod and use it for taking pictures of the moon or taking pictures of objects as small as a thimble. There are numerous parts which you can buy for this camera (you just have to search for them) including a zoom lens and wide angle lens and filters for different lighting. Once you learn how to use the functions you'll be amazed at what this little cam can do! My only complaint is the lack of an optical viewfinder. The LCD is very hard to see in bright light so a little hand-shading is required outdoors when the sun is overhead.

    "Excellent Pictures, Lightweight & Versatile" on by fshrmndave

    Pros: Compact, Excellent Quality Pictures, Good Movie Quality

    Cons: None So Far

    Summary: IF your looking for a relatively inexpensive
    camera that does it all and is small enough to take with you with minimum effort, than this is the camera for you. For those who don't need the 8 meg pictures but has most of the features of the big boys.

    "Almost perfect camera at an affordable price!" on by rudyespinosa

    Pros: Size is small yet heavy enough to feel sturdy. Adjustable LCD, easy and quick menu access, threaded lens allows direct attachments without adapters. 30fps VGA movies

    Cons: Image quality is not as good as my previous Canon. No AF Asssit Lamp. No image stabilzation and only 5x zoom

    Summary: I was a loyal Canon camera owner and decided to got with this camera because it still has the LCD that I can move around and I believe it was a bit quicker than the S2 Is that I also considered. I definitley miss the great image quality that I was used to without really trying. However, I gained ALOT. First off, many reviews point out that the images on this model are dull, but I like them. In fact, I hated my Black & White pictures on my Canon because everyone looked like they had shiny sweat on them. Also, I wanted a faster shutter response and the reviews all claimed the Casio was faster. I noticed that other Canon models could beat this Casio model in shutter response but I would also loose the swiveling LCD, which I use a lot and I can't see myself using a camera without after getting spoiled by it. I also hardly used my menu options in my old Canon because it was difficult to get to (though they are supposed to be some of the best). The casio in my opinion blows it away. The casio has soooo many neat features. Such as colored filters that I can enable in both the snapshot to movie mode! I also purchased several lens filters for it and feel like I have a miniature SLR with tons of attachments! I encourage you to read all the reviews that you can find. All the negatives on this camera are somewhat true but they don't apply to me. For example, the ISO noise. Just about every digital cameras in this price range has noise past the lowest ISO so I don't understand why any reviewers even bother to spend so much time on the subject. There is a menu choice that allows you to see every piece of information but almost all reviews claim it is useless. I find it to not only look cool, but I finally am learning due it and it again allows me to easily make adjustments that I never knew about. I laugh when I see the reviews knock it on price. Why don't they mention that no other model could touch its features when it came out. Since then, the price has dropped. Only afterwards did you really see the 12x zoom and image stablization on digital cameras. I hope Casio comes out with a new model that builds on this one and improves the image quality. I think this is a great camera if you are an rookie that is hoping to have a lot of fun learning photograhy. Almost forgot, the bad reviews claim you can't use the zoom on the camera because it is too noisy when you film a movie. I disagree. It is probably one of the quitest out there!

    "The EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is a stylish digital camera equipped with a 5.0 megapixel imaging element and" on by usbogdan

    Pros: Long battery life, slim size, stylish, large LCD screen, easy to use.

    Cons: Hard to find any.

    Summary: The function-packed go-along-anywhere design is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Everything about the camera is designed and engineered for ease of used: a grip molded to fit your hand, a bib 2.0-inch flip screen that can be positioned to the angle that's right for you, conveniently located buttons and controllers, and much more.
    The camera turns on automatically whenever you open the monitor screen. The screen can be freely adjusted to exactly the angle you need to get the shot you want. You can even position the screen for a self-portrait.
