This is my first Digital camera, although i have had a fair ammount of experiance with the Pentax 4 million pix camera. I particually wanted a small metal bodied camera which would be robust and well made, not like some of the cheaper almost toy like cameras, I'm happy to say that the casio has met all my expectations. It has so many features that most people would not use all of them. When you switch it on it goes into automatic, which means that you can take that unexpected picture. Those who are more experianced can use it in manual mode. The results are superb both when reproduced on the computer or when printed conventionally, in another league to my similar sized Canon Ixus APS which i have now given away. With a 64mb memory card at the finest resolution you are able to take 34 pictures (that memory card is a viking 64mb £24 from amozon, far cheaper than anyone else) this means that it starts to become very economical when compared to a conventional camera. Compared to the Pentax which i mentioned earlier, it seems to produce pictures of at least the same quality, easier to use and it does have that excellent Pentax 3x lens. I am very happy with it.

This is my forth digital camera, I've had a Fuji, Rioch, Olympus, but this is by far the best i've had. Well made, nice on the eye, excellent features, great pics in auto mode. Good battery life. I don't think i'll have to change to another camera for a long..long time...
