EX-S10 10.1 Mp Digital Camera Red

I have loved Casio cameras since we special ordered our first 2 MP red camera from Japan. This 10.1 MP camera is a replacement 4 a 7 MP Casio that broke (when a friend dropped it on the pavement). We also have an 8 MP Casio. I like that this 10.1 MP camera goes back 2 the original Casio roots. In other words, it is small, a great size 4 pockets, & about the same size as the old 7 MP version. I realize that most people go 4 the other brands, but Casio cameras are great, & this tiny one is perfect 4 travel. It makes really good videos as well as still photos.

The camera is really slim almost can fit into your wallet.

I will also give a 5-star review 4 the customer service by 6ave.

I was going 2 buy the Flip camera or the Sanyo Xacti 700HD. But I found this camera which is in between price wise. It takes great pictures & if you put the video mode on the highest settings, it also takes pretty good videos. And the size & thiness makes this camera as easy 2 carry around as the Flip. The only complaint I can think of is that they could have included a nice video editing software that would allow you 2 paste clips together. Sound quality is way better than I expected. Picture/still quality is excellent, & the video is Youtube friendly & the quality is above average 4 a still camera. I bought mine at Sam's Club which was a mistake because Amazon had it 4 less. But I do have 2 return mine because this one will not zoom while taking videos. It normally does zoom but 4 some reason this one was broke. Bottom line, if you are thinking of getting an inexpensive video/still camera, spend it on this one. For $200 bucks, its going 2 be hard 2 beat it.

I'm not sure what the deal is, it's all very fishy.

But I bought 2, & both were DOA. The first one was clearly used, & had 2 go back. It wouldn't save pictures 2 the internal memory.

The second one is new, but literally DOA. I charged the battery up, put it in the camera. It let me set up my time/date/etc. Then once it started 2 'boot up', & the zoom extended? The camera crashed & would not power on at all after that. The lense clicks twice & it turns off. No good. It even had dead pixels!

I'm very frustrated. How bad can quality control be that I can get two DOA's in one night? It's bad enough that it's a 35 minute drive 2 the Best Buy. So ridiculous....

--- Update:

It took me 3 tries 2 get this model camera from Best Buy without it being DOA. 3 DOA's.... How does that happen? Well, 4th was the charm.

Once I got one that worked, I was happy. Great pictures, great color, amazing clarity, the size... I like the plum color, too.

Now, a month later, I'm miserable. The once clear pictures are nothing but blurry, over exposed, & full of glare. Everything is washed out & blurry.

This model camera has serious defects. Serious, serious defects. Do not buy. Every picture looks like it was washed with bleach, & smeared around in photoshop. It doesn't get much worse.
