One of the first companies you think about when purchasing a digital camera is probably not consumer electronics giant Casio Inc., but the company intends to change that in the future. With a strong brand and almost 50 years experience in the consumer market, Casio executives understand the challenges that lie in front of them and are executing their strategy, making innovation a top priority. more

Casio as a company is known as an affordable, high-quality consumer electronics firm with a lot of innovations

really?
to me when i think of Casio i think of watches and keyboards (the musical instrument), not affordable, high-quality innovative consumer electronics.

I have a Exilim digital camera and it is a great little device. In fact, I prefer to carry this when compared to my E-20 or HP 618. I would certainly purchase another Casio product.

Casio Digital Cameras Rock! Price Points are good. Feature Lists are great! UI is intuitive. Best of all... works great with iPhoto.

Have one of the EX-P600 cameras and have to agree with the comments of ease of use performance and quality. Has easy no fuss/muss mode and a sophisticated array of displays and advanced features. Well worth the money. Picture quality can be incredible.

nothing special, just plain old point and shoot digital camera like the rest of other brand.

I like the direction Casio has taken in the consumer digital camera market. They have been innovative with their ultra-compact cameras for a number of years now. I have the EX-Z55, it's a great 5MP that has a 2.5 inch screen and fits in your pocket. I take it everywhere, and the picture quality is very good also.
And yes, I find their line innovative, high-quality and affordable, but that's just me.

Casio Digital Cameras Rock!

They aren't bad for sure, but the fact that they still have soldered in memory is a problem... I know that they also have a slot, but the fact that some piddly 8MB or 16MB is soldered in means that you can't just pop the memory card out and dump photos into something like the new iPod camera interface (or the many variants of this that have existed before it)
Also, I had a friend with an EX-Z40 visit from Japan... I thought for sure that she could just plug the camera in and dump pics to my computer for e-mailing or whatever. But Casio requires it's own software to be installed to handle the transfer. This is insane... I have never had a problem just plugging in a camera in to dump pics off of it.
Anyhoo, they have a lot of sweet features and fair to good quality for their price point... I hope they get rid of the soldered memory and make their cameras function like a USB memory card reader (which is how allmost all other digital cams behave) Then they would rock.
