 Piece of junk and horrible service! July 9, 2008
This is my second camera and shame on me for giving Casio a second chance. The "customer service" was horrible, rude and not helpful at all. I have had several camera's in my professional life and have to say that I will never buy this brand again after the way I was treated!
 Wonderful Little Camera April 4, 2008
I have owned my Ex-Z60 for about one year . It has proven to be a very nice Camera ! In every mode I have chosen the results have been excellent ! Well designed and quite easy to use ! I have a small Leica D - Lux 3 MP Camera , and sometimes I have to search the Properties mode to determine Casio usage ! I own several other Camera Models , and find I use my Casio Ex-Z60 , quite often . I think some reviewers are lint- picking in some respects ! R E Keay
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I EVER BOUGHT. February 13, 2008
I COULDN'T ASK FOR ANY MORE IN A CAMERA. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY AND TAKING PICTURES OF LANDSCAPES AND SO FORTH. THIS CAMERA DEFINATELY DOES MY PICTURES JUSTICE. I DID A SCHOOL ART PORTFOLIO PROJECT, CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL. nOT TO MENTION, THE MANY PICTURES OF MY BELOVED FAMILY AND FRIENDS! <3
 A good "take-along" camera December 16, 2007
I've had this camera for a little less than a year and have had mixed emotions about it. The small size of the camera and the large screen is a huge bonus. It's also very light which makes it easy to bring anywhere; unfortunately it's best for casual snapshots. Unless you are outdoors and it's well lit, you are going to struggle getting photographs. I have since upgraded to a Nikon D40 (dSLR) for my real pictures and have the Casio as back-up "just for fun" camera.
Pros:
-Great battery life
-Huge display screen (2.5 inches!)
-Metal design feels sturdy in your hand
-Small! You don't even notice it in your pocket or purse.
-Best shot settings are helpful when you don't know what settings to use.
Cons:
-No actual viewfinder. Trust me, you need that. If it's even remotely sunny, it's so hard to see the display; therefore making composition, immpossible.
-A lot of noise in low light situations.
-Flash is very harsh, even in the soft setting, giving a lot of pictures the washed-out drunk party picture effect.
Don't get me wrong, I do still love this camera to bring along when I don't want to risk damaging my D40. I just wouldn't solely rely on it.
Fine while it worked. October 20, 2007

The camera was reasonable for the first few months I owned it. It took pictures that were about what you'd expect for the price, and were perfectly passable for someone like me who just wants to take shots of memories.
However, less than a year after purchase it will no longer focus and cannot take a recognizable picture. I don't just mean that pictures are blurry, I mean that pictures look like some sort of thermal map from space.
It turns out this is a common problem with the focus mechanism. There are lots of message board posts from other users who ran into the same problem after owning it for a while and Casio will fix it for 150 dollars (practically the price of the camera). My particular camera hasn't been treated roughly or knocked around, and it isn't in constant use. In my opinion, any machine that fragile is defective, but apparently, although it's a known issue, Casio considers it to be an abuse problem.
Don't waste your money. There are plenty of great cameras out there.
