Broke in four months - difficult service
I bought this camera (EX-Z1080) for both my daughters for Christmas 2007 because they were cute and small. I should have known to stick with the Big Guys. One daughter began having battery difficulties immediately and has to rotate far too often between the main and the spare, keeping one charging. My other daughter's camera simply stopped working completely four months after purchase. Although under the one-year manufacturer's warranty, Casio has questioned her treatment of the camera and warned her of default if they find the camera was abused, which it was not. My daughter is a 40 year old mother of five - she knows how to handle a camera. In addition, they want the camera returned in the original box, which she no longer has, and have told her she can expect a four month wait while they try to figure out the problem. Casio should have mailed her a new camera within five days - no questions asked! Her children are rapidly growing and she should not have to wait for a repaired dime store camera. I sent her a Nikon Coolpix S550 as a replacement. I assume I will soon have to replace my other daughter's camera as well with a real camera. To add insult to injury, these cameras were $100 more than I paid for the Coolpix! My two year old grandson's Fisher-Price camera works better than this. I won't ever make this mistake again. Stick with the Big Boys - they know how to build a camera and they stand behind it.

Just what you are looking for!
Exilim z1080! great digital camera!!! pretty pocket camera! Loved the material! is a little heavier than other digital cameras, but that's because of the material! metal! and I like that! gives the camera an stylish look! and of course it's way resistant! It has a lot of modes that are very handy!
PROS:
- Beautiful camera
- Pretty slim and small
- Big LCD
- Resolution! 10.1 effective pixels
- Mic and speaker
- Battery life! AMAZING! and it's better if you buy an extra battery! although the charging is pretty quick!
- 1 gb memory is enough! you can take lots of pictures!
- Audio in videos
CONS:
- Videos taken at night are not high quality ... but c'mon! this is a pocket camera! if you take videos during day light the results are going to be great!
- Optical zoom ... but again: pocket camera! we are not talking about some SLR camera!
- I have to agree with other customers, the manual is useless! pretty manual but that's it!
Maybe you'll read something about the white balance or color balance ... I haven't notice the problem with my pictures, but maybe the videos are a little dark sometimes (fixable)! and apparently theres a firmware update at casio web page! I highly recommend this camera!!!!

terrible
Overpriced piece of junk. This camera is terrible in low light. The camera has a maximum slow shutter speed which means you can't shoot in even moderately low light conditions without the moderately crappy flash. Instead of using a slow shutter spead to collect enough light, the camera annouces the shot is 'underexposed' and simply uses its maximum shutter speed and you get a dark shot. Cameras that cost a third this much can do this totally normal function. Why this works so poorly is beyond me. I'm annoyed to have to return this piece of junk.

Best buy, period.
This is probably the best compact digital camera that you can buy at any price. Why? Because the vast majority of non-DSLR digital cameras use 1/2.3" ~ 1/2.5" CCD image sensor, but this Casio EX-Z1080 has a 1/1.75" one! It really does make a difference (less image noise) particularly when you shoot in low light condition.
In addition to taking great photos, this camera starts up really fast, has super long battery life, and is easy to operate while packing lots of functions.
Note: There's no carrying case included with this camera, so if you're taking it on a trip right away, you should order a case/pouch too.
