Not honor their one year warranty2009-04-06
The closing-opening cover before the len is not functioning within a year. Sometimes it even will fall off. And when I mailed it back for repair, they say it is not covered under their manufacture warranty even though the camera is bought within a year.
Great Camera with awesome features2009-01-04
Ordered this camera to give as a x-mas present. This camera is really great. Good looks and impressive features. My favourite is the "shake" one. Basically, take a a picture while in motion and the camera will stabilize and manage to take a pic that is not blurry. To me, that is an amazing and useful feature. There are plenty others, that make this a great camera. I usually get Canon, but this one impressed me.
Movie limit not good; software harder to work with2008-11-23
I had a Casio Exilim EX-Z750 before, but lost it. So I bought the Casio Exilim EX-Z300 with higher resolution to replace it.

Good:
- high image resolution: good photos.
- big and clear LCD
- no more docking station to transfer files (vs. EX-Z750).

Bad:
- and this one is really bad: there is a video recording limit (10 minutes!). Now my home movies have to be stitched together... not cool! And this is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the manual or website - very unprofessional.
- software "PhotoLoader" is supposed to be an "upgrade" but I find it harder to use.

I would have gladly go back to Z750 because that does not have a video recording limit. Why they did that is beyond me...
Awesome digital camera2008-11-18
This is My first digital camera I bought.
I used to take pics with My cellphone which is really awfull
I just gotta say this Camera is the real Package
*awesome sharp Pictures
*HD Videos
*Lots of functions
Im just in love with the Make Up mode. This really takes the ex z300 to another level of cameras.

The only bad thing I had found is the .MOV ,when You try to edit your movies On sony vegas or Adobe After effects you can only see the video. it does not detect the audio.
you can play the videos on your media player but if you want to edit your videos you have to change the format of the clip or extract the audio and put it over your timeline.
besides that This is an awesome cam.
Great Camera, nice upgraded features2008-10-26
Just purchased this camera. Tested it at in various light and dark conditions, indoors and outdoors. I have to say, compared to my previous casio Ex-Z750 there is a definate improvement in image quality in all modalities. The Auto Best Shot feature appears fairly accurate in selecting the right BS shot. The 3" screen is very clear and bright. Battery life has yet to be tested however uses the same NP40 battery as previous models, which is a plus. The makeup feature actually does work, helps clear blemishes on faces.
The best feature I think is the self portrait shots. Basically you can press the shutter button, point the camera at yourself or with someone else, and it will take the picture once it has both faces in full view. The wide angle lens is also a plus, whereas before, self portrait shots only allowed maybe a close view of you and someone elses head, whereas now full face and body and background is in full view. Smile detection technology is also a nice feature, however you have to show your teeth in order for it to work.
HD movie is great. Only downside is it is in .mov format which now requires quicktime. For window users, if you are viewing photos in windows media gallery, and you click on the next button which is actually a .mov movie, windows media will crash. Not a big deal, but you just have to separate the .mov's from the jpgs.
Overall I love the camera, the black and silver contrast is very nice. Does leave some smudges but still a great looking camera.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
