My camera went bad from a VERY COMMONLY reported manufacturing defect "camera stabilizer is not available" error message in the model I had. Since this is a common defect from the manufacture, they should have fixed my camera at their expense, but they refused to fix it without me having to pay for their manufacturing defect plus shipping charges! Don't buy Casio products! from Amazon.com So I wanted an ultra compact camera that I could keep in my purse (or even in my pant pocket, when at an amusement park, etc...). So I had bought the canon SD 750 powershot. Pretty nice camera, or so I thought till one afternoon when I grabbed my son's casio to take some pictures. I was so impressed with the pictures (I never gave his camera much thought as far as thinking it would have better photo quality, as he is 10 and I got him the casio because I found it for such a low price (around $100). from Amazon.com Thanks to its small size, it is always with me in my laptop bag. The pictures are decent quality - with some noise that can be removed by a utility such as Neat Image (free advertising) - and I have published many pictures taken with this camera in magazines along articles I write. One feature I use extensively is the manual shutter speed selection - you can also manually set the aperture. Overall satisfied with the performance and the quality (the zoom actuator "sticks" but other than that it is working fine even after some abuse) from Amazon.com This camera is a pleasure to use, its compact and packs plenty of slick photo-options. I bought the ex-Z750 for my wife last year, and saw what a super camera that was so I purchased the Z850 for me this year. I have only one neg remark pertaining to the sound on the movie option. from Amazon.com I've had this camera for about a year and a half. This camera has a *known defect* - the zoom, set button and display button frequently quit working. Here is a link to people having this problem: http://www.fixya.com/support/t238623-lost_functionality. from Amazon.com I've owned both of these cameras for a couple of years, and I appreciate the optical viewfinder, excellent picture quality, large LCD, fast shutter delay, and manual operating modes. While I agree with the excellent review written by D. from Amazon.com You can adjust ISO from 50, all the way up to over 1000 in some modes. Plus, you can shoot with shutter priority, aperture priority, or full manual modes. Not only that, but it has a 38-114 equivalent zoom, fully customizable white balance, and a variety of scene modes that make it easy for non-expert users to set the camera for special situations. All this in a package the size of a deck of cards. from Amazon.com My Casio EX-Z850 is a just a month past the one year of purchase and it already doesn't work. I've had it over a year but I've only used it maybe four times, it looks brand new. from Amazon.com It is, however, manual largely in name only because the range they give you with the aperture is so limited that it's really not functional as a manual camera. Instead it's really best thought of as a point-and-shoot with a lot of great modes (and the white balance is a real life saver). The disappointments are that it could do better with close-up zooming. Sometimes when I'm shooting flowers, even in macro mode, I can't get nearly as close as I would like and have it remain in focus. from Amazon.com I had a Canon 3.2MP camera for years and was very pleased with it. However, when the time came for a new camera, I decided to see what else was out there, and decided to buy a Casio... I wish I had stuck with Canon. from Amazon.com
