Pros: Great Features

Cons: Battery door feels fragile

I picked up this camera at Radioshack for $179.00 (Refurbish) but in compleatly new condition.. Me owning previous camera from all kinds of company's.. And with my previous expirience to a kodak Z760, I think in Casio felt short.. CASIO... Super sma...ll, great to carry around everywhere. Nice 2.5 LCD - The image on the LCD is kinda bad when in doors, The image on LIVE VIEW looks grainy and blue -ish. Also it's kinda difficult to get a really focused shot.. But I found changin the AF AREA from SPOT to MULTI really helped... Also taking pictures with the Auto Flash, turns up harsh in skin tones makes them extreamly bright. So Whem I'm taking pictures of people I have to change the flash to SOFT Flash.. Also.. The Camera is kinda Slow showing the live image on the LCD.. so when im taking a picture it takes a little time to focus a mobving subject. Battey life is good if not great based on the casio, it takes 180 shot's with a single charge.. When I bought it it lasted about 1 1/2 hour turned on. so yeah it's good.. Comparing it with my Kodak I could take over 300 and still have some battery left.. VIDEO. Video features is nice.. but the colors turn out really bad.. I changed the options to HQ, supposely the best quality,,,, The colors are horrible.. very grainy, blue-ish red -ish colors.. and a 1 to 2 minute video is almost 80.MB that is so stupid ! Well ill give it a plus because it's a AVI video so you can edit them with Windows software.. but all that memory for that little video is stupid. ---------------- Bottom line.. Great little camera for starter's .. Im into photography and all that So I do know about it.. Comparing to my previous Kodak.. I'm thinking about returning it!. But for starters it;s good, since im used to controling f-stops and shutter's spead and ISO's im better of with KODAK... but this is a good camera..and does let you control ISO! well I don't know if im gonna retunrn it but hand's down.. It's not what I expected.. Im 17 so I'm kinda scared of retunrning it because I begged my dad for a whole week to buy it,, and know to tell him that I don;t like it :S, haha Read more Less
