Anti-Shake DSP Anti-Shake DSP (Digital Signal Processor) minimizes image blur caused by shaking hands or moving subject matter.

Face Detection Technology and Auto Focus Tracking Maintains sharp focus and correct exposure for a human face. Detects up to 8 faces in a scene and automatically tracks and focuses to capture the moment.

Triple Continuous Flash By dividing the amount of light that the flash would normally use during a single shot, Continuous Flash allows users to shoot up to three photos on a single flash charge so moments will never be missed due to flash failure.

41 Best Shot Modes Enables consumers to capture perfect images under a variety of circumstances without having to manually adjust settings. Some of these Best Shot modes include sports, night scene, portrait and eBay.

eBay Best Shot Mode This feature makes it incredibly easy to take great photos at the correct resolution and file size for carefree uploading to eBay. With eBay Best Shot mode, the camera automatically configures the camera settings to shoot the photo with auto macro at 2MP and a 1600 x 1200 image size.

Old Photo Best Shot Mode A pre-set best shot setting that enables consumers to restore old family photos and favorite moments. This setting automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to create an improved image of the original. It even adjusts for distortion if the camera was not perfectly squared off with the original photo.

Exilim Engine 2.0 image processor The Exilim Engine 2.0 -- a high-performance, image-processing module that boosts performance by enabling instantaneous color correction or angle adjustment. In addition it incorporates a tonal control that lets users keep bright areas of the scene bright by limiting the occurrence of dark pixels. With Casio’s newly designed Exilim Engine "Auto Tracking AF" function follows moving subjects, keeping them continuously in focus until the photo is taken. It also offers the ability to selectively eliminate noise in designated color regions, such as the sky. This all means faster, high-resolution, power-saving and ultra-compact configuration.

Quick Release Time Shutter release lag time of .004 seconds.

Full-month calendar screen A full-month calendar screen shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded on each date. This makes it easy to find a particular image.

Customer Reviews

Great camera for the price!
I bought this camera after my old Canon A70 stopped working. I was looking for a quick replacement that was: low cost, had image stabilizer, slim and could record video with audio.
This camera has fit all those requirements nicely.


The pictures I've taken have come out extremely well in daylight. In darker situations the anti-shake feature helps out a little. I like my wife's sony t20 optical image stabilizer better, but the anti-shake works okay given some attention to keeping still. The camera still does pretty well in low light situations, just hold it steady or use the soft flash feature! There is no focus assist light for dark subjects so take a few pics if not using the flash. I like natural light shots, without flash.

The You Tube movie feature as well as the ebay picture mode are nice little extras I hope to use in the future, but I'm unable to tell you how well they work now. As for regular video capture, I'm very impressed with the movie capture mode in 640x480. It looks great on my tv when I plug the camera directly in with the rca to usb cable supplied. Although when playing back movies on the camera, people will tend to hold their thumbs over the speaker on the bottom left corner as they hold the camera to watch. No biggie though!

I like that they give you an icon in the Best Shot menu that represents the shooting modes. But to get to the ebay or YouTube mode, it should be at the top of the list and not in the middle or at the end which they are respectively. If they're pushing those shooting modes put them at the top of the list!

The LCD screen is not quite as sharp as I'd like it to be, but it is still a good size.

I advise buying a second battery. The battery lasts a decent amount of pictures depending on flash usage. Just buy a second battery anyway no matter what camera you buy.

I've also dropped it on cement several times and it still works, so I'll give it kudos for being rugged.

Overall, I really have been happy with this well priced camera from Casio.


PROS: Slim, decent anti-shake function, great price, great picture color and quality, rugged.
CONS: No focus assist light, speaker on bottom corner, LCD could be sharper.

Good camera but is not durable
We bought this camera 18 months ago right before our daughter's birth. It takes great pictures and video and is easy to use. It is also small and lightweight. The files are a little large to upload on some internet sites and I have to downsize them in another program before posting. Even more dissappointing is the fact that the first time we dropped it (on our deck), we had to send it in for repairs because the zoom mechanism broke(costing $100 because no one repairs cameras anymore apparently). Now I'm looking for a new camera because the camera got jostled, not dropped, and now it won't focus and makes a ominous noise when turning it on. Definitely not for klutzes or people with small children! Can't believe the other reviewer has dropped it on cement and it still works!!
