...the best digital point-and-shoot I ever had Jul 03, 2008
I owned several cameras, film and digital, and this is by far the best digital point-and-shoot I ever had. I have to admit that it took me a long time to decide on buying a Casio as opposed to Cannon, Nikon, or Pentax, as I had very good experience with those.
However my wife was supposed to be the main user of this new camera, so when she saw it in a store, she was sold on it, as the camera is very small and very good looking. She loved the green one (which is is actually a greenish yellow) so we paid $10 more than the black one and got it.
To me it took a lot more to be convinced, so here is my point of view on it:
Pros:
- Very good quality of the pictures (the auto focus works great and the multi point metering system takes care nicely of most situations, including some more difficult shots (like high contrast, back lit subjects, moving subjects, etc)
- I love that you can easily switch between standard format (1.33 ratio), film format (3:2 ratio), or wide screen (16:9 format).
- Metal body, makes the camera fill solid and you can have a good grip and stability.
- Easy to switch between different menus like changing formats, flash modes, ISO sensitivity, different self timer settings, shooting modes (like single, continuous, etc), auto shutter, and face recognition modes.
- Although I consider face recognition a gimmick and I never use it in real life, I did try it and surprisingly works very well! Not only the camera will find and focus on the face, but you can set also the Auto-Shutter to take the picture only when the subject smiles. There is even more: you can record several faces in the camera's internal memory, and when those people are in a larger group, the camera will find their faces and focus on them, so they come out the best! I tried the freakish feature and it works!!!
Also, it has other many Auto-Shooting features, that some people might want, I tried them, they work but, I don't normally need most of them.
- The movie recording quality is very good. I set it to wide screen and the highest quality and it is exceptionally good, I say at least like a DVD (also it does record sound very well, with no significant camera's own noise).
- It has its own movie recording button, so you do not need to go though any settings in order to start filming. You push the trigger on top, you take pictures, or if you push the trigger on the back side, you are filming (push again to stop). It can not get any simpler or faster.
- If you don't like to mingle with settings, you may find the "Best Shot" setting very simple and useful. You click the "BS" button (funny name... ;-), and you get a bunch of sample photos. Use the left-right-up-down buttons to navigate to the picture that is similar to what you are shooting, push OK, and the camera sets itself up for that type of picture (like flowers, portrait, self portrait, sports, night scenes etc, etc).
- I love the burst shooting mode (aka CS - Continuous Shooting), which has several settings:
CS - shoots pictures at the quality you set as fast as possible;
CS-FAST shoots lower resolution pictures and saves them to the internal memory. I got about 4 to 5 pictures per second in this mode, and the quality is good enough to print 5x7" pictures. This is a life saver when your kid shakes hands with the principal of the school, when they make a karate jump, or when they throw that ball. Normally you push the trigger and hope the camera takes the picture at the right time. With this, you push the trigger a little earlier, hold it until the kid is through, and before you know it you have a series of pictures taken at short intervals of each other, so your chances are a lot better to find one that shows what you want to see.
- Used with a 4GB SDHC memory card, my wife took literary hundreds of pictures and filmed many minutes of movie during a recent trip before she had to transfer them to the computer. She did that only several times during the 3 weeks trip.
- Also, one charge of the battery lasted for several days. In fact she did not charge it until, into the four or fifth day of the trip, the low battery message came on.
Negatives:
None so important to give anything lower than a five star rating.
- I would have liked a "shorter" focal length on the close end, so that you can have a wider view as sometimes there is not enough room to get away from larger groups of people. However most of the cameras have this focal lengths, so this is just a wish with small point and shoot cameras.
All being said, I love this little camera.

 Think before buying Jun 24, 2008
I recently purchased the EX-Z80 and have since returned it because I was not happy with the image quality. The auto function produced pictures that were blurry and noisy. Quite a bit of pixelation/noise in all photos I took as test shots. The flash is very bright for shooting close subjects, takes a lot of color out of people shots. The different shooting modes were difficult to figure out and still produced blurry photos. The difficulty in actually figuring out the right setting to use was too bothersome. Not to mention, I never found a setting that I was happy with. If you're not that picky about blur and noise, then this might be the type of camera for you. However, for the camera buffs that just want a small camera to carry around for those spontaneous photo-ops, you should think again. I returned the camera and bought a Canon Powershot A590 IS that I am very happy with.

good for my purpose May 22, 2008
I bought this camera mainly just for video. From my search only Casio have point-n-shoot camera that capture more than 640x480 at 30fps. This Z80 can capture 848x480 at 30fps. Samsung's L210 and S1050 can do 800x600 but only at 20fps. Video quality at 848x480 (casio call it UHQ/HQ wide mode) is quite good.
Image quality is OK, it's no where near that from my Rebel xti, but acceptable, again I am not too worried about image quality.
Control, UI are good. (You can try it at WalMart or Costco)
Other pluses are its small size and low price.
Minus: H.264 movie is in .mov format, I don't have quicktime or itune(hate them), I installed "quicktime alternative" and can watch them in WMP or mediaplayer classic.
Another thing is Vista keep importing movies that's have been imported. It just do this to movies, pics are fine. I usually click "erase after imporing", so it's not big deal for me, and it's Vista's problem not camera's anyway.
overall I like it.
