Casio QV 5500SX

Slickest user interface I've ever seen,with graphical menus and intuitive controls.As usual for casio , there's more than meets the eye or than the manual tells you.For under 300 dollars you get 2x/4x zoom (digital),nightshot,AVI clips,Black and White/Sepia and More.A little bulky compared to the current trend,but a little heft is part of what I wanted after owning a Sanyo 350 and Fuji 12 in the last year.Decent full size pics although most of my shots are auction and/or web (lean).Shop hard if your looking to spend less than 350.00, this one's tough to beat.

Easy controls and interface."Pop out" for flash card.Various auto and manual controls.

No optical zoom.All features not listed in manual.Finger may obscure lens.

this is a great camera for beginers, i did not regret i had this. i am now trying to buy another digital camera not because this is not good but i have to transfer to a higher resolution camera. Probably will buy QV 3000plus or Olympus 2500 If you like to take pictures at night shot mode , this one is good. but you are limited to 3 meters.

Used in humid and dusty places I have dropped it once and still working

battery easily consumed and exhausted

None
