Relatively high pixel count
Beautiful and elegant design
Sensor provides good quality up to 400ISO and reasonable even at 800
High res video clip capability limited only by the card's capacity
Nice and surprisingly effective picture presets

LENS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH: sharpness and color fringing are BADLY obvious at the periphery of the image

Insufficient level of control over functions

Digital zoom dramatically reduces image quality

Aperture range limited

A nicely designed, elegant "gadget camera". It is thin and small and sleek and provide high pixelage. Great for quick snapshots and a bit beyond. The built-in settings for special control of the camera (e.g.: night shot, water and streams, portraits etc.) is actually quite effective when you learn how to work it. It is quick and easy to operate but when it comes to serious picture taking it lcks both the control level and the optical performance to deliver what you may need.

In short - great for casual snapshots but not for advanced picture taking.

There are plenty of pros to this camera:

very small, fits in your pocket - you can have it with you at all times;
very easy to use;
lots of settings to choose from (enhance green with a forest setting);
video use is pretty awesome (but don't bother using the zoom while recording);
fast picture to picture taking;
takes good motion shots - freezes image completely or very close to freezing

Cons:

The only problem I had with this camera was that the picture quality was not what I had hoped for once reviewed on my computer. The quality is not horrible, just not what I was hoping for. (If you are a Nikon owner you may find this to be true as well.)

I bought the Casio Ex-Z60 to have a camera that fits in my pocket so I could have a camera with me at all times. I had it for about a week or so before returning it (had about 2 weeks to try before returning if need be). I know that isn't long, but mind you I took plenty of pictures/videos in various situations (indoors/ outdoors/night/fireworks/low light/bright light, macro, etc.) with it before deciding to return this camera.

I currently own a Nikon Coolpix 995, which is my first digital that my husband bought for about 4-5 years ago. There is no comparison at all to the picture quality when comparing the two. However, I loved that the Casio fit in my pocket and that it took great video clips and was at a toss up on whether or not to return it. However, I would rather lug around my bigger camera and get a higher quality pictures than average pictures. The Casio is not a bad camera, yet after having a camera that delivers high quality pictures....well, the Casio is just not for me.

However, if you are looking for average picture quality (my friend loves her Casio camera and doesn't see the lose of quality that I see), extremely compact, and simple to use then the Casio is for you. I almost kept it because of it's ease of use and the fact that I could carry it everywhere. Good little camera - I just wish the picture quality was at the level that I was seeking...

I hope this has helped you somewhat. This may or may not be the camera for you. You should definitely go to a store and try it out before purchasing. Good luck!
