How come no Casio digicam here? Need opinion

kiwi2 · 17th May 2006

Hmm... Just realized there's no separate forum on Casio cams...It's not popular?

I'm looking for a compact Digicam... Seems like the sales people like to intro me to the Casio and I must say it looks slim and nice. And they seem to be convincing me that for compacts, bigger names like Canon, etc aren't necessarily any better. Just names only. From the functions that I see, seem true leh...

But yet I dun dare to take his word cos I have zero experience with Casio and have all along been using Canon....

Anyone any opinions to share here?

Thanks!

Casio is one of the pioneers in digicams and have interesting designs (e.g. QV2900EX with a swivel body and an 8x zoom with full manual control over exposure, thin Exilm series).

Hmm, seems like Casio really not popular among CS members...

I realize 1 thing... Choosing a compact digicam is so very much more difficult than buying a DSLR or lenses! So many models, all neck to neck in competition on functions, LCD size, zoom capability, etc. I'm still undecided, Casio or Canon...
