Casio has also included an exclusive software application that makes it fast and simple to upload movies to YouTube.

5 out of 5 stars Reconditioned OK with me!   August 29, 2008
I. Garcia (New Windsor, NY)
I bought this camera to replace another one and I love. My daughter has the same camera so I know it works well and has many great features. I was a little hesitant because it is refurbished, but once I got it, all my concerns went out the window. It looks and works like brand new. I am very happy and pleasantly surprised with this purchase.


4 out of 5 stars Great little camer - no view finder   August 4, 2008
dogmom (Portland, OR)
We recently purchased a Casio Exilim, after reading the great reviews on-line.

While it is a nice little camera, with many handy features, includng an exceptionally large display screen, it was missing one rather important feature for me - a view finder! The vast majority of pictures that we take are outdoors, often in bright light. From mountains for distant scenes, to close-ups of flowers, etc. In bright light conditions, it is very difficult to impossible to see what is on the screen, and I need a view finder in which to view what image is being captured. Barring that feature, I found myself guessing and hoping I'd be getting what I wanted in my picture, with varying degress of success. However, when I wanted to get some up-close pictures of rain-drops on flowers, I could not capture it at all, since I couldn't see the image on the screen!

Sadly, this issue has caused me to decide I need to return this little guy, and find one with an old-fashioned view finder to use when I need it.

For those who can function with just the screen, by all means, give it a shot! For the price, it will be hard to beat.

Great images from a compact 10MP camera.
Easy to use, battery last long time...

Exilim z1080! great digital camera!!! pretty pocket camera! Loved the material! is a little heavier than other digital cameras, but that's because of the material! metal! and I like that! gives the camera an stylish look! and of course it's way resistant! It has a lot of modes that are very handy!

PROS:
- Beautiful camera
- Pretty slim and small
- Big LCD
- Resolution! 10.1 effective pixels
- Mic and speaker
- Battery life! AMAZING! and it's better if you buy an extra battery! although the charging is pretty quick!
- 1 gb memory is enough! you can take lots of pictures!
- Audio in videos

CONS:
- Videos taken at night are not high quality ... but c'mon! this is a pocket camera! if you take videos during day light the results are going to be great!
- Optical zoom ... but again: pocket camera! we are not talking about some SLR camera!
- I have to agree with other customers, the manual is useless! pretty manual but that's it!

Maybe you'll read something about the white balance or color balance ... I haven't notice the problem with my pictures, but maybe the videos are a little dark sometimes (fixable)! and apparently theres a firmware update at casio web page! I highly recommend this camera!!!!
