Casio Exilim EX-Z700 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti Shake Optical Zoom (Blue)

I love this camera. It is simple to use. The picture template settings are extensive and useful, even simpler you can choose the 'Best Shot' mode to let the Exilim choose the best setting. It is hip. A cool blue/purple color and not much bigger than my cell phone. It is fun. The big screen lets you view pictures immediately with your friends. And it takes great pictures.

This is my first digital camera. Its nice and slim to carry in your pocket but powerful enough to take great pictures. The screen is large. I'd buy another.

This little camera packs many features! 7.2mp means great picture clarity, and the best shot modes are incredible. Nice crisp and smooth zoom, super fast between shot times and time to turn on. Good battery life, lightweight, I just love this camera!

I bought the Casio Z700 for my wife who is computer savy, but has been
using a point and shoot 35 mm for ever. First off it's so little that it gets some getting used to. Controls are a bit delicate for my big thumbs. Like the shutoff switch is a little too hidden. But this all adds up to an impressive camera that slips into a pocket with ease.
High points: First has to be the fantastic large, bright viewing screen.
Next is great battery life(and you don't have to carry a tote bag of AA's with you!) The anti Shake feature is a huge help while handling such a small light weight camera. The menu is desplayed big and bright and intuitive. The Best Shot (preset situations) is great for learners.
The docking station for battery charging and downloading photos to the computer via USB is hands free and works like a charm! Reducing photo size for e-mailing right in the camera is a nice touch. The list goes on
and on.

Low points are few. Deminutive controls are tricky at first and the zoom lever is sensitive to adjust. When my ageing Sony gives up the ghost the Casio Z700 will replace it.

PS I rated it 4 stars because nothing is perfect!

i have not owned this camera long i just got it today but it takes super fast pictures and without zooming in too close none of the pictures came out blurry. You definitly need a digital card, because it only takes 4 pictures without one. Also the picture look great not only on the camera but on the computer also. I havent dropped it yet so i dont know how tough it is but it doesnt seem flimsy to from my view only small. GREAT CAMERA!! I also took pictures with a child moving around and not one blurry pic. I'll say it again GREAT CAMERA!
