Digital Camera
I love this camera. This is my third, becasue they have either been stolen or broken. Don't drop it because it is very fragile ( I work with kids, so they are always getting their hands on it). But the pic quality is great. I love it!

Good for Outdoors, Lousy for Indoors
Overall, this has been a decent camera for me. It takes great outdoor pictures, and even though I've dropped it several times, it has never broken.
My main complaint for this camera is that when it takes a picture indoors, everyone's faces come out extremely shiny. I'm talking about people glowing- and not in a good way.
I'm not a camera expert, but none of my other friends who have basic digital cameras have this problem. I guess if you rarely take pictures of people inside then this would be a good camera, but I would not recommend it for indoor use.

Compact photos with ease
Great little camera with big features....we love it and have had no problems with it....set the image quality to high if you want to have print quality pictures....set to lower if you are just e-mailing them. Auto feature takes a lot of guesswork out of set-up...easy to use menu

a useful little camera...
...with excellent battery life. very good at recording video, extremely pleasant image quality in still camera mode. the only feature lacking is the ability to adjust exposure time. but other than that it works wonderfully and i quite like mine.

i love my camera :)
ive had this camera for around 3 years already! i got it as a present for christmas. the strap and one of the screws has popped out recently but it still works just fine. my sister has an even more expensive canon camera, but it cant even take pictures w/o flash w/o blurring but i find that the casio does it just fine. i love all the features on it, especially the different themes for video taking. the flash is really bright too.
