I purchased the camera when it was just introduced by casio. Then I think it was the most compact camera in it’s range. As my son was having an SLR cannon with zoom, I used to see his good photos but , I Could not use it because it was heavy. It was purchased when camera on cellphones used to be very costly and used to be just photos without quality. I am using since then, taken more than 10000 photos, I feel I have done a good thing in selecting the brand. It is having a big screen, good battery life, good function. I am satisfied with the product.
My camera is of 5.2 mega pixel, where as now we are getting 10 mega pixel range, for an ameture who uses only auto focus and adjustments I think it is a great camera. Some one presented a compact camera with 10 megapixel of a different brand to my daughter in law, the quality of pictures taken with that camera surely are not coming anywhere near the pictures taken by my camera though it is 5.2 mega pixel.
