5 out of 5 stars Great Shots.......2007-07-29

I have had this camera for about 7 months. Pictures taken during the day are beautiful and the colors are vibrant. At nights the pictures are not very clear.

5 out of 5 stars Nice find for the price.......2007-07-19

This is a great camera for the price. I was looking to upgrade from a 4mp camera and was a bit worried because the price was so low. I use the camera for fun so I wasn't too concerned about all the extras. This one has alot of nice extras and it' really easy to use.

5 out of 5 stars I like it.......2007-07-18

At first when I got the camera in the mail I was dissapointed when i first started using it, because the shutter speed is slower than my old camera when it is on the basic setting. My first pictures that I took with it were really blurry and I almost returned the camera. However now I have gotten used to the camera and take the most amazing pictures with it!!

2 out of 5 stars Flawed Design & Awful Out-of-Warranty Customer Service.......2007-06-23

The camera has a smaller sensor than previous Casio models and sets the aperture to the largest available for any light setting when using the "general" best shot setting. So pictures tend to be fuzzy.
You cannot set the aperture or the shutter speed manually. The Best Shot feature is convenient for camera-dummies, but a pain for the rest of us. Searching for the correct aperture/shutter speed combination by selecting one icon out of 40 takes a long time and is very hit-and-miss. There is no explanation of what are the aperture/shutter settings - you just have to try them all out. You have usually missed the shot by then. I scanned a few websites to see if other people are having the same problems as I: fuzzy pictures, and lack of control over settings. They are.
Finally, the repair service is appalling. I just came back from a search of the web to find out how to get my camera fixed (the LCD screen is flashing on and off intermittently and the Casio digital camera online repair server link does not work). Out of warranty service for Casio digital cameras seems to have a miniumum charge of $250 (see the forums at Steve's digicams for a discussion of this). I thank heaven my camera is still in warranty. But I think my next camera will be a Canon.

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera.......2007-06-18

Affordable price. Small footprint. It literally is just point and shoot. Careful on the zoomed shots as they have the potential for blur. But that is really with any camera. Get this camera before the price goes back up $300. This is simply the best purchase I've made in a long time.

          Product Description

          With the Microline 590, the decision is entirely yours. This letter-quality printer anticipates and conforms to all your paper-handling needs. The difference is OKISMART Paper Handling, a unique patented technology that allows the ML590 to "read and learn" the paper you feed it, then set the head gap to the optimum distance for best print quality. It also means less time to load and reload paper stock, and can lead to longer printer life. The ML590 delivers perfect output on letterheads, card stock, forms with up to 5 parts, and labels. And, unlike ordinary printers, the ML590 takes on envelopes like any other paper media. Just feed them into the printer and they emerge flawlessly printed, with no jams or smears. A patented sensor built into the ML590 printhead calculates the precise time and impact needed to print each dot, virtually eliminating uneven printing. The shape of each dot is more consistent, producing smooth, characters and stunning graphics. There are no gaps, no smears or light spots, regardless of paper type used. You get the professional look you want for every application, the printhead lasts longer, and the printer works quieter and uses less power.

                      5 out of 5 stars GREAT camera for the price!.......2007-04-30

                      This was my first digital camera, bought when I was pregnant with my now 3 yr old son. I got it because it was a good price... $77 at Target the day after Thanksgiving. I never regretted going with a cheap one for one second! My dad did a lot of research, and bought a more expensive one from National Camera that they recommended, and the picture quality didn't compare to what I got. Mine was 10X better. The zoom isn't great... I just cropped the pictures later instead of zooming because it usually would look better that way. The only reason I am not still using this great camera- I let my mom take it to Mexico, and when I got it back, the pictures were all blurry. I don't know what she did to it, but it had never had a problem in 2 1/2 years and after 1 week with her it didn't work, so I do not blame the camera at all. It does go through batteries, but like others said, just buy the rechargable batteries. They worked great! And someone said they last a half a year... I am still using the AA ones I bought over 3 years ago, and they still last just as long, and get a lot of use between cameras and my sons toys. My replacement camera was researched a lot more after seeing the poor quality a lot of other people end up with... I got a Canon PowerShot SD600 Elph 6 months ago... and am in love with that camera. If you are looking for good pictures for a good price, this is definitely the right camera. If you are willing to spend more, the Canon also does great video w/sound, and has replaced my video camera. Both take great pictures, the canon just has more options. In 6 months I have taken over 3000 pictures with this camera. Most people call me obsessive with pictures, so both cameras have definitely been put to the test by me... and both have passed (my dads, and many others I have tried in stores... would never pass.) My #1 recommendation is to go to the store and try them. Look at the quality of the pictures you take, the type of memory card, how fast it takes pictures (or you might miss everything your kids do!), and what features it has. Megapixels is really not important... unless you are planning on blowing it up beyond 8x10. 3 MP blows up to 8x10 with great quality, and getting a camera with higher really won't change that, unless you are going to be printing bigger. Good luck with whatever camera you choose to buy!

                      4 out of 5 stars Pretty decent.......2006-03-15

                      I've had this camera for more than 2 years and it has been pretty good to me. Takes really good pictures on sunny afternoons, but could do a little better at night. Recommended for beginners!
                      tip- get energizer rechargeable batteries! they work great with this camera and last for half of a year!

                      2 out of 5 stars FAIR-Not for quality purposes.......2005-12-02

                      This camera is basically good for mid quality family pictures and similar shots, you can't expect much from a non-optical zoom/ 3.3 mp camera, PLEASE!!! Anybody who tells you how great the camera is, never had anything better on their hands,LETS BE HONEST it is not a bad camera but not a smart choice if you are looking for quality. It's actualy a pretty handy and easy to use camera, not too many features and cheap, so there you go...if you need something not too fancy, cheap and you are not expecting some awarded National geographic pictures from it, this is your camera.

                      1 out of 5 stars Worst By Far..........2005-09-21

                      This is the worst camera I've ever owned. Picture quality is average, however I have to replace the batteries everytime I use the camera. I purchased the recommended batteries which gave even worse results than standard AA's. After taking a few pictures the camera will "hang" on a pic. and destroy the image.
                      Customer service offered no help unless I wanted to pay them to inspect the camera for problems.

                      5 out of 5 stars What battery problems? Great Camera.......2005-09-21

                      I've owned this camera for more than 2 years along with my SLR film cam. Its been a great camera and I've taken more than a thousand photos with it and got great prints ranging from sunny beach shots to pitch black cave pics. Unfortuanely, thats where I crushed it just this past weekend...in a cave, but my pics where still saved!

                      Of the reviews I've ready, most have problems with the batteries. Its a digital camera...of course it will use batteries! Show me one that doesn't. Thats why you keep spares and I have yet to have them last less than a month. Also, you don't have to reset the program if you change the batteries out quickly. Just dump out the old ones and pop in the new ones. You can do that in less than 10 seconds. The same goes with the SD card. I do it all the time. Quit whining and bad mouthing this great product. Its a great camera and I am getting another one.
