Nice camera - a bigger LCD display is only request.......2007-09-12

This has many nice features that you do not find in other small digital cameras:

1) Small Size (it's bigger than some digital cameras but about the size of a pack of cigarettes)
2) Actual Viewfinder (many small digital cameras do not have this capability)
3) LCD Screen (although a bigger screen would be nice)
4) Uses AA batteries (instead of some proprietary format, which is nice when your battery dies when you are travelling abroad you can quickly find replacements)
5) Uses SD Card (instead of some proprietary format)
6) Anti-shake DSP (some digital cameras do not have this capability)
7) 6 Mega Pixels (which is big enough for me)
8) 640x480 movies @ 30 frames per second

It's a great camera for the price - the pictures are good and it has a solid combination of features.

Absolutely outstanding!.......2007-07-01

Outstanding in all respects. Produces great pictures in all kinds of lighting. Very easy to use. Video quality is superb for a small photo camera. Excellent sound in videos. We've been using it extensively for more than two years now, and had no problems at all.

Exilim!.......2007-02-22

I absolutely love this! The photos that I have taken with this camera are so clear and crisp and the colors are perfect. I didn't know when I bought this camera that it was set on VGA size, but after taking the photos into Paint Shop 10, I realized that they were pretty small, so I changed the setting to 6 megapixels. 6 doesn't sound like a whole bunch, but I can print these up to 20x30! This camera has a great anti shake setting and cool movie setting. I hardly ever use the flash because this camera performs very well with natural lighting and the flash is just not needed most of the time, that way I don't have to worry about red eye.
This is a great camera to start out with and great to modify your own settings with also.

The Perfect Digital Camera!!.......2006-07-28

I was reluctant for years about buying a digital. I have always used SLR's and am extremely anal about the quality of my pictures. I like the ability to zoom, use different filters, stop action and enjoy the perks SLR's offer. However, I wanted something small and less expensive to fit in my purse and have with me all the time. I did a lot of research and it paid off big time. The camera is light, small and compact. It is about the size of a pack of cigerettes. Perfect size. Cameras too small are hard to handle and can break easily and too big would defeat my purpose. This one is perfect.
Another plus, it runs on AA batteries so I can use rechargeables which I like. Plus, AA's are easy to find anywhere.
With my 1 GB memory card, I can take hundreds of pictures. The screen allows for reviewing pictures taken so you know if you need to reshoot or how to reshoot right there, unlike SLR's where you don't know what you got till it's developed.
There is a slew of features that are like the filters used with SLR's: Sepia, black and white, red hues, green hues, and about 20 more. There is the best shot feature which quickly and automatically sets up the camera for what you are shooting for (twilight, bright background, stop action, special effects, portrait, macro, ect.) The macro is unbelievable. In fact, close-ups with this digital are just as amazing as the ones with my $600 SLR. Plus, you can go to manual for creative control of aperture, focus, ect. It has all the benefits of an point-and-shoot camera: compact, quick, easy, self-focus and the benefits of a Manual SLR: filters, manual focus, aperture or shutter adjustment, macro, ect. This camera was able to shoot fireworks, the moon beside a mountain in the daytime, freeze a water drop in mid-air, take close-ups of flowers showing the pollen grains, and the list goes on. And the quality! It is so crisp and perfect. I don't even use my SLR anymore. This one is so perfect it replaced it. I'm not kidding. What do you want to photograph? Close-ups? Scenery? Family portraits? Pets running around? Night shots? Panaroma scenes? It does it. Whatever you want to shoot, it shoots with perfection. The quality, the variety of modes, the ease of use, I am just amazed. This was the best purchase, along with my iPAQ, I have ever made in my life. The price is crazy low for what you are getting. Oh, and the user guide, you don't need it. Everything is so easy, that you can start using it with all it's features right out of the box. It is easy to transfer to the computer. Everything is easy.
You also have a video function if you want to shoot a brief video. The sound and picture are very crisp and impressive. Just remember though, video eats up major memory so this is good for a quick scene but don't plan on filming your daughter's one-hour piano recital.
Another perk that I love, love, love is that when you do shoot video, you can play it back frame-by-frame on the camera and pick a scene out of it that you want to be a picture. Want a picture of your dog jumping in the air or your daughter in the middle of a cartwheel? Video tape the scene, play it back, pick the right moment when they are mid-air, and voila! You now have a photo at the exact right moment.
I am the picky consumer. With this camera though, I would pay twice as much for it. It is that great. I love it so much. I couldn't of dreamed up a better camera. It's worth it. Buy it. You won't regret it, I promise you.
Do remember to get a memory card with it, also. They are worth it. If you are a big picture taker like me, I would suggest 1 GB.
While the camera has a great battery life, I would still get rechargable batteries. You can take pictures for hours and hours and they literally last for days with this camera, but I still like to use rechargeables only because they eliminate the need to buy batteries all the time.

In summary:

Buy this camera! The quality, size, features, price, cannot be beat. There are no negatives to this thing. Congratulations Casio. The EX-Z110 is truly superlative product.

Casio Exilim EX-Z110-Nice value-great pics!.......2006-07-21

I bought this as an upgrade to a Fuji Finepix I had owned for several years. I sail in the Caribbean quite a bit and wanted something that was small in size, but would offer high quality pictures. Despite some negative reviews, I looked at this (in person) at a retail store and then found an online deal and bought it. Bottom line? No regrets. Solid value for the $. If it gets lost, stolen or destroyed, it won't be a huge expense to replace it. It's also very easy to use, with a super oversize view display. I did buy a special case to fit it (the camera is very thin) and a screen protector, since I had read about problems with scratching of the screen. I am very pleased with the picture results, so far, and am looking forward to using the camera on an upcoming sail around St. Martin. If you are seeking bang for your buck, this camera won't steer you wrong.

Works Like a dream.......2007-10-12

I already had a 32mm Plossl that I had gotten in a Celestron accessory kit, but it would show double images of bright objects, so I got this one instead. It is a vast inprovement. Beautiful clarity with minimal distortion and the right price. It feels sturdy and well-made. A Plossl is a must need for every astronomer, and this one is perfect.
