Pleased overall with the level of features. Problems: Slightly disappointed with low light outdoors image quality; very disappointed that movies limited to 10 mins (not what it says in the handbook!)

If you're considering buying a Casio, you need to know why I'll never buy another Casio product again. I bought a Casio digital point and shoot about 6 months ago. I make my living as a photographer, I'm a gadget guy and I've owned dozens of point and shoots. I did a lot research and decided on the Casio. The features and design are great. Image quality is only average, but I can live with that. I got it and was really happy with it for about 4 days. Then it wouldn't turn ON. I'd push ...

I would like this camera greatly IF it gave me sharp still pictures but it doesn't even after a so-called lens assembly replacement by Casio UK. So it has gone back a second time. I am not the only one to have had this problem ... see the Casio talk forum ... I am desperately hoping that they have fixed it this time. Problems: Sent back to Casio UK twice for correction of blurry still pics.

I recently got a Casio EX-Z850 for my birthday and uploaded the improved HQ video firmware, v1.1B, before putting it through its paces. I did a lot of reading about the Z850 and Z750, which gets more favourable comments for both its photo and video quality, and I was very tempted to exchange it for the Z750, but didn't and don't mind that I didn't either. The Z850 is my first digital camera and I'm impressed! The screen is big and bright, the battery life is immense and it's intuitive to use ...

smallest camera with manual control and optical finder. Good quality for pocket camera. Suitable for daytime candid shots, usable at low light. Better than Pentax Optio (which are brothers of Casio Exilimi). Tip: in order to use more aperture values, put camera in S-mode (not A, since it gives only TWO available aperture settings) - You can see A-value on LCD, and could fine tune it. Good for MPEG-4 video (with the latest firmware), but switch-off AntiShake, which is really bad. Good battery ...

Good camera, with excellent features, image quality is for the paid money verry good. Noise is visible up ISO 400. Build quality is so so...the chrome plate around the camera (upside, near power button) is loose....the glue seems to be poor there. Movie mode after firmware update is good to verry good. Overall an good run for the money. Recommanded. Problems: Build quality.

Fits my needs as a carry-around perfectly. Small, soilidly built, aperture/shutter/manual modes, what's there not to like? I'm a D-SLR user, so I really appreciate having ASM modes in such a compact package (currently not much competition in the marketplace). Don't get me wrong; it works great as a full auto camera (i.e. Auto mode or any of the Scene modes) but if you have a good understanding of exposure settings, this camera will do wonders. Posted 2 sample photos in the Casio Talk forum ...

I use the EX-Z850 as my "carry it with me wherever I go" camera, and have a Nikon D200 for more serious stuff. This camera is absolutely marvelous - outstanding image quality, easy to use, phenomenal battery life. Great in point-and-shoot mode, but also easy to customize in endless ways. Probably the most important thing to know for people who have complained about image quality is that it appears that stock automatic exposure runs from 1/2 to a full stop overexposed. Casio should firmware ...
