Customer Reviews

Fantastic and pratical!
Wow, I had this purchase bought for be last month, it's fantastic in my opinion! Very pratical, there's a range of useful things this camera can do including: Master shots, firework shots (I tried this out at a local bonfire, it really does work!)Pastel shots, black&white shots, monochrome shots, pet shots, family shots, magazine shots etc. During dark periods, it takes fantastic images.

This camera is extremely simple to use, set up etc, my only down side to the casio is the life span of battery is up to a period of 1:30 mins, and for some is'nt really incredbly much.

Many people associate "Casio" with watches and calculaters but now you can also say cameras, i am Very Very pleased with the casio software, as it's also easy to transfer pictures to your computer (with a USB cable)

I dearly reccomend this product, so why not give it a "shot"!! Lol

Thankyou also for reading my review, and wish you look with your purchase.

Practical, pink and perfect!
As a typical 11 year old girl I opted for this camera just because it was pink and was not disappointed. It is so easy to use and yet the photo quality is breath-taking. It does everything that you need it to do. It's many modes allow photos to be just how you want them. The movie quality is fantastic and I love it how you can personalize it right to the last detail. It's large screen is great and ables you to see your photo clearly. When I bought it, on the label it said anti-blur technology. I thought this was just a bribe but when I tried to photograph my dog (who CANNOT sit still and is continuously fidgeting) it really didn't blur! It is very cheap as it is a GREAT camera (and bargain!) I would definately recommend this for anyone whether you're a novice to photography or a snapshot pro!

alright for normal life
this is the 2nd exilim i've had (the previous model was brilliant)
this one is good, but not great

the on/off switch is vulnerable to accidental switching on in your pocket (meaning the lens quite often opens on its own - could lead to damage in the future)

the anti-shake without the flash is really quite poor without a tripod

the "youtube compatible" video format is a farse (aren't all formats compatible with youtube?!). It saves vidoes as '.mov' files which don't play in windows media player and can't be edited by windows movie player. Bring back .avi

other than that it's a very good camera. perhaps too many sacrifices have been made for the superficial compact size and larger pixel count.
