I have 3 kids, so a good battery life and a small camera I can keep in my back pocket are MUST HAVES. Well this camera does not disappoint. I can go DAYS with this camera in my purse, use it several times a day, without having to charge it, it’s amazing. It’s SO slim I forget it’s in my pocket. It comes in gorgeous colors, I have the blue and people are constantly saying how nice it is. The menu system is pretty straight forward and the pictures have all come out wonderful. The one touch button video recording is so simple and videos are great quality for a digital camera. I HIGHLY recommend this camera, you will love it.

First the good stuff – this camera is the slimmest one I’ve ever owned. It’s thinner than my phone when I throw it in my pocket, which makes it easy to take with you wherever you go.

Now the minuses – picture quality is good, not great. Compared to my Canon camera, which was only 3 megapixels, picture quality and lens on this thing is not as sharp. The photos look fine, but they are noticeably not as crisp. Also for some reason, I can’t figure out how to take a timed photo with this. It has some neat auto-photo capabilities (like, it takes a photo only when subjects smile), but where’s the regular old timer, Casio?

I actually had two of these cameras. both produced absolutely amazing images, I give them a lot of credit there– very sharp, the colors were perfect, and in general, i didn’t have to edit anything. The battery life was also amazing (especially compared to my old camera which lasted a few hours at most). My main issue with these is the fragility..

NOTE: I am slightly OCD and very cautious.. my previous camera (and now current one- an old Pentax Optio) has lasted over 5 years with minor scratches and no real issues. These I kept in their cases, always with the band tight around my wrist.

1. the first camera dropped about 3-5 inches into a grass, slighty damp ground, and the LCD completely cracked, rendering it useless

2. the second camera got a grain of sand in the zoom/lens motor while I was at the beach, and was too costly to repair (almost the same as buying a new one)

the LCD screen is slightly elevated off the back of the camera, so it is easy to damage. The lens motor is very delicate (according to a few camera repair people).

Lastly, my sister has an older Exilim model, which was also great (not as good as this one, but still had great image quality)– her camera’s lens failed just after the warranty period (1 yr), one minute it was working, the next minute everything was blurry. SO! I have become pretty suspicious of Casio Exilims, and I think with good reason.

Why on earth would someone want a charging cradle? I also own an EX-S770. And, I have an extra battery. Every time I need to charge the battery I have to put the camera in the cradle. This makes it impossible to use the second battery while the exhausted one is being charged.

I really like this camera, it’s super small and well featured.

I have one beef I hope the Casio people can address.

There is no charging cradle available !! It also says that it connects to a PC with the USB cable, but it cannot charge through that either.

This means you have to remove the battery each time you want to charge it. Totally un-necessary hassle.

Come on Casio.
