Warning to Exilim owners!! READ ON...
I had my camer for about a year. It went to Hawaii twice with me and I thought it was the best 400 dollars I had spent!
Little did I know that these cameras are.. well, defective. Suddenly one day, my zoom wouldn't work. Then I realized my menu buttons didn't work. THEN I realized that the only button that DID work was the button to take a picture (which it still does). After doing more intense research, I found out that A LOT of people were having the SAME problem. I called Casio and they wanted a ridiculous amout to just look at it, let alone FIX IT!
So the deal is, these cameras have one cord that controlls most of the functions such as the menu and zoom buttons. If that cord gets rattled a little, it no longer works. SO you will then be stuck with a 10.1 MP basically disposable camera (as they can not zoom or adjust settings either).
However, I must say that my next camera WILL be a Casio, but this particular model.... I'm not too sure.
Hope my review helps.

Good camera but beware
Bought for my wife who is a heavy camera user. After about a year of use, the lens has hung and won't retract. Seems to be a common failure mode for the unit.
Does take good pictures and videos. Just don't expect it to survive more that a year of so if you are a moderate to heavy user.

Great ability in a tiny package
After using this camera on a couple of trips, and now being familiar with its features, I have to say I'm very happy with it. I purchased this after I lost my older Exilim camera, and this smaller, lighter version is much easier to use.
As with any ultracompact camera, don't expect the kind of photography you'd get from a digital SLR, or a dedicated video recorder. However, the quality of the pics & video is excellent, seeing as it's coming from such a small package.
The only reason this is 4 and not 5 stars, is because of the inability to set advanced settings for each shot. You have to select pre-set modes (like "Party", "Sports", or "Scenic") to get the right shutter speed or light sensitivity that you want. This can be frustrating until you familiarize yourself with the different modes available. Once you know your camera, though, it is enjoyable to use.
This camera's best for casual to intermediate photography, which is what I do.

Very nice....
My first digital camera was Canon and needed replacement. So I bought Exilim EX-Z1050 since I needed something better than 4 mega-pixel. I have used mine for almost a year now and I love it. It's in my purse everyday for that special moment and the battery life is amazing. I had to charge my Canon Elf very often but I could almost forget about recharging with this Exilim. Also, video is also great. Very easy to use and light for everyday use. Great everyday use camera.

Nice camera for snapshots
This camera is very compact & takes very nice snapshots but has a few problems. The camera takes SD & SDHC memory cards. If you are going to shoot at 10 megapixels or near that so you can have high quality when cropping or blowing up images to a very large size (11 X 14 to poster size) you'll probably want to get a 4 or 8 gig SDHC card to use with this camera. Amazon has an 8 gig SDHC card on sale for less than 50 bucks right now (search for it)... The only way to frame the shots with this camera is by utilizing the large LCD screen on the rear of the camera. Unfortunately it is not as clear & sharp as other casio LCD screens though it's ok for most purposes. It also has a tendency to washout on a sunny day making it hard to see & frame a picture. For a better, sharper, clearer LCD screen you can see in bright daylight get the newer, slimmer, slightly lighter 10 mp Casio EX - S10 for around two hundred twenty five bucks. If you want to shoot fairly high quality video you won't get it with this model. This model shots .avi video ar 24 frames per second which looks blurry & somewhat choppy. The newer slimmer Casio's including the EX-S10 will shoot higher quality mp4 video at 30 fps. At the ultra high quality video setting the video looks really nice even to watch on a TV monitor or transfer to DVD using Nero Vision or similar. You can leave your larger digital video camera home except for super special occasions! The newer models also allow the higher quality video to be shot in widescreen if you prefer that look or for widescreen monitors! The newer models like the EX-S10 also have a seprate YouTube video mode so you can shoot small vids tailored to upload to YouTube quickly & easily! This camera also has a very small weak flash which is great for taking most snapshot length photos indoors but nothing further. It has a great battery life but so do all the compact Casio's including the slimmer, newer ones. For the reasons outlined do not make the mistake I made & get this model Casio if you want an ultra compact camera. Get instead the Casio EX -S10 which is slimmer, lighter, has a better viewfinder & takes higher quality video at Ultra High Quality mode & has a special YouTube video mode if you want to post vids on YouTube quickly & easily for around $225.00...
