Great camera, don’t forget memory

I bought this camera as my first digital camera. I run Linux at home and I had convinced myself that digital photos can never be as good as “real” photos. My wife insisted, so I chose to get this one.

I like this camera a lot. The user interface is a bit unweildy, but five minutes and I became a pro. It’s not terribly complicated and even my two-year-old daughter is taking pictures! Downloading it is absolutely simple, even running Fedora Core 5 with KDE. Just plug in the USB cord and up pops a window with your images.

Anyway, the camera comes, built-in, with just a tiny bit of memory. Be sure to get one or two GB of memory right away, so you can take as many pictures as you like.

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

good value for money
The camera is in excellent working order and has a good array of features. Excellent value for the money. I received the camera very promptly from the seller. A good buying experience all around. A good way to get a good camera for an excellent price.

Fairly nice camera…a few minor complaints
I’ve had this camera a few months and use it regularly. I bought it after having purchased another Casio for my wife and wanting to upgrade from an older, much larger, digital camera. The Exilim is very thin, easily fits in your pocket and the large LCD screen is clear and readable even without glasses. The choice of photo modes is extensive and the picture quality had been high.

Its not perfect though. Getting the battery and SD card out is a pain in the neck…there is no release button and you have to sort of pick at them or use a pencil to eject. The battery life is tolerable, not great and the charger is a bulky, two-piece unit that could be greatly streamlined so that you didn’t have to pack it. The USB-cord is really annoying (one more think to carry, since it uses a proprietary connector rather than a standard “firewire” type nub. Casio would do well to streamline all this stuff (my wife’s camera has a much better power-interface and its is OLDER so it seems as if they moving in the wrong direction with these modifications).

That said…it does take great photos and is easy to use. If you don’t travel a lot and leave the goodies at home it would be an excellent choice. And you can’t beat the price for the quality of the unit.
