Amazon.com Product Description

The affordable, powerful Casio QV-R40 digital features a 4-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom lens, a fast 1-second start-up time, and a stylish, durable stainless steel body.

Optics and Resolution
The QV-R40 features a 4-megapixel resolution that captures vibrant colors and produces images up to 2304 x 1712 pixels for photo-quality prints up to 11 x 14 inches. Other resolution modes include 2240 x 1680, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480.

The QV-R40 packs a 3-segment telescoping type 3x optical zoom lens with sliding mechanism that makes it possible to fit everything into an ultra-thin, stylish aluminum body. Optical zoom provides the means to produce beautiful, low-distortion close ups. Using digital zoom in combination with optical zoom allows a total zoom of 9.6x with optical 3x and digital 3.2x combined. The 8-24mm zoom lens is equivalent to 39-117mm in 35mm photography.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the QV-R40 can also record up to 30 seconds of video (without audio) at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.

Customer Reviews:

great digital camera.......2007-08-14

I breezed through the other reviews and i would have to agree on everything they had said. This casio camera is great. I had mine for four years and it was the most handy and easy to use camera. Although it was 4 megapixels, the picture quality is great and if you don't believe me send me a message and i can show you some of the thousands of pictures i've taken. I love how casio has the photo settings, great feature. Sadly mine doesn't work anymore, the metal casing of the camera is held in by tiny screws and i hadn't noticed i was missing 3 or 4 from the sides and the bottom. I've been looking for another once since i'm afraid to invest in a Casio exlm like my brother has incase i drop it, etc. But anyhow, this camera is a great find and unfortunately i haven't been able to find it anywhere!

Just what I needed!.......2005-04-07

I bought this camera just before a family vacation in March 2004. I wanted to do more research before I went digital, but the pressure was on to act before the trip. I found the manual to be useful and the camera to be VERY easy to use.

It takes great pictures and the small size is a plus.

I'll look to Casio when I buy my next camera.

Excellent product.......2005-03-20

I purchased the Casi QV-R40 digital camera two years ago, and I have not encountered any problems with it thus far. It has very nice picture quality, and ease of use. It comes with two rechargeable batteries and a battery charger, which are both very nice bonuses. The charged batteries will last a long time, but, I did buy a spare pair, in case one pair is charging, or one pair runs out of juice, simply put in the other pair. I would definitly reccomend, along with buying an extra set of batteries, to also buy a memory card that stores more pictures. I always use the highest quality of resolution, and normally take pictures one right after another. So, for me, the higher amount of pictures was a must. This is an excellent camera, and I would recomend the Casio QV-R40 to anyone looking for a digital camera.

A great camera for the price and for 5x7s.......2005-03-10

I have been through a number of the under $250 digital cameras and this is the one I am most happy with. To see a comparison of all of them, see the bottom of the review.

Pros of the qv-r40:

-short lag time (1/2 a second-very good in cheaper digitals!)
-great exposure in all lighting situations-great in low light
-lots of neat features and settings (sepia, b and w, night time, etc.)
-easy to maneuver through menus
-small compact size
-overall good photo quality (see cons)
-durable and long lasting
-great battery life (I keep it in the diaper bag and use it a few times a day. I charge every 2 or 3 weeks)
-Good price (I got mine for $99 on ebay)

Cons of the qv-r40:

-the only con I have with this camera is that the photos are sometimes a bit (though not horribly) grainy and pixelated at 8x10 or larger. I have gotten better quality in this area (though not in exposure) with Canon cameras (see camera comparison at end of review)
-the lack of sound on the video should be noted, but doesn't bother me...that's why I have a camcorder

I have no other qualms with this camera. i really enjoy using it and am happy with it. At 4x6 and 5x7 the pictures are amazing! Bigger and they are still good, but not quite up to par for a 4 mp, but then again, neither is the price.

CAMERA COMPARISONS (and what I paid)

I have had the Casio qv-4000 ($116), the canon a300 ($85), and have used the canon s30 (sell for around $120) a lot because of a family member. The canon a300 had too long of a shutter lag which just got really annoying with my kids (3 seconds lag and they are gone). The s30 is faster on the lag (1/2 second), but has a lower battery life than the 1300 and the qv-r40 and is renowned (like many point and shoot canons) for getting errors where the lens doesn't pop out anymore. My QV-4000 had a very weak flash (though you could buy an extra flash attachment) and was bulky for a point and shoot but had great picture quality because it uses a canon lens. It was a great little camera. Picture quality was higher on the qv-4000 than on this one, but for indoor photography, you would definitely need the flash that can be purchased for it. It also took 4 batteries and still had a shorter battery life.

older tech, but great for the price.......2005-02-20

i've had over 10 different digicams up to an 8 mp nikon for $1m. i was looking for an upgrade for my wife, and i was drawn to casio because my son has one of the real thin, large lcd exilim models that is very impressive. the r40 is discontinued, but readily available on the used/refurb market. other than the thicker body (still less than 1") and smaller lcd (good enough) this model is a real quality peice. metal, not plastic, 4mp, 3x zoom, lots of good features. takes sd cards, and has some built-in memory. takes real clear, good color pics which can easily be printed well to 8.5x11 and even to 11x14. you can get them used or refurbed in the $125-$150 range. my wife loves it, so i got another for my daughter, and another for myself when i don't want to lug around my primary nikon.

Product Description

With the Microline 591, 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 ML591 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 ML591 delivers perfect output on letterheads, card stock, forms with up to 5 parts, and labels. And, unlike ordinary printers, the ML591 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 ML591 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.The ML591/n comes with an OkiLAN 6120e 10/100 Base-T internal print server pre-installed and ready to perform.

Product Description

The Minuteman MCP-E series is a line of true on-line uninterruptible power supplies. Its sophisticated double-conversion online technology constantly converts incoming power from utility AC power into DC power to charge internal batteries and then back into clean AC power using built-in converters and inverters. So regardless of what happens to your incoming utility power, the MCP-E series continuously conditions AC current to its purest form as required by your sensitive electronics. Even if the incoming utility AC power falters, the UPS will simply convert DC power from the battery system into clean AC current without a break in power.The MCP-E series uses high-speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology with real-time sampling to create the cleanest sine wave output waveform available. With a maximum of 2 percent total harmonic distortion (THD) while still providing tight output voltage regulation of 1 percent it will keep your equipment operating at peak performance. The Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology used in the MCP-E models is designed to correct the power factor of input current. This correction prevents any decrease of power quality and loss of virtual power. PFC also keeps load-generated harmonics from being reflected back into the line source, thereby protecting other equipment in your environment from potential damage.

Broke after 3 years.......2005-05-07

Totaly dead after 3 years. Nice picture and sound, but I expect something I spend over 1500 on to last much longer.

My Panasonic PT-51HX41 broke in just over 2 years.......2003-12-19

My Panasonic PT-51HX41 broke in just over 2 years. It is $500 to fix and the repairman says that the problem with the amplifiers and resisters on Panasonic TVs are common. Why no recall? Avoid big screen panasonics!!!!

Do Not Buy Panasonic.......2003-02-21

Only but a buy a big screen panasonic if you like throwing your money away. After the warranty expires, tv breaks, on mine dp board went out. Repair cost $1000.00. Customer service [bad], quality worse. Listen to someone who knows buy another brand.....any brand but Panasonic. Oh yeah, if you do buy one, forget about their "independent authorized repair centers" they are a bunch of twerps also

Excellent Buy.......2002-01-07

I shopped around for months and I found this TV to be the best bang for the buck. You can't go wrong with this one. It had a sharper picture than the Toshiba and the Sony TV's in the same price range. You really won't be dissapointed.
