Casio QV 70

overall a great little camera that can be used to get pictures quickly into your PC for tranfer to freinds family or on to your new homepage.

the camera is msall and light weight, making it easy to carry and pack for travel

The view finder is small and hard to see through if you are need bifocals It uses a lot of batteries if you don't buy the AC adapter

canon with Zoom features.

I've read the above reviews of this camera. First of all I need to ask all of those who posted negative reviews this: What did you Want to do with this camera?A quick glance at the camera will "tell" you that it doesn't have a flash. I can't believe how many post were complaining about no flash!I bought this camera so I could cary around something simple, something not to expensive and take decent pics. I have three other Digicams that are a lot more exspensive than this cam. But I don't like to carry those ever where I go. so this cam fit the pod. I just wanted something cheap, and I didn't expect to get a great resoulution or a freaking flash.I bought this camera new for only 8000 yen, about $80 us dollars. and thats about what I expected the output to be...if your looking for a more serious cam, don't bother with the low price ones.

I just wanted to say thank you for the reviews posted in these forums. Hearing real feedback, and not some saleman's BS, is so much better. I plan on going out to buy this camera tomorrow. Thanks.- m. wade nichols

Casio QV-70 is easy to use for beginner. That's why i like it. My budget is around 200 dollars so i thought it would be a good choice for me. But it has NO FLASH so i return it in a few days. I need a camera with flash.

Well, I must confess that I didn't keep this camera very long, at most I think I had it for a month before I became disillutioned, and took it back where I purchased it. So therefore my observation is due a re-evaluation!First and foremost, I think that I rushed in to purchase this item! (There aren't many choices when you are stationed overseas in Italy) At first I was quite pleased with the results, but I confered with some friends, and well when I compared the features and prices with them.....it was a toss back!Things to consider when you buy this camera:-Do I need a flash/and will I ever need one, because this camera has NO FLASH?(very important!)-Could my budget handle about $100 or so to get a better resolution camera?-Can I live with such a small resolution, I think it was like 240x360 or something close to that? (A more liveable one would be at least 640X480!)-And of course the battery life/consuption is very hearty...it loves using up batteries! ----------------------------------------------------------I've taken the QV-70 back to the store, and exchanged it for a Ricoh RDC-300This camera is better adapted for regular snapshot use..... And the price was about $100 more than what I paid for the Casio and it came with all the features that make the Ricoh a camera worth keeping....!
