 Waterproof....My A$$ !!! July 27, 2010
Jeffrey Ritenour
All good until I took it in the water. Died after about 6 shots! Returned the next day. If you want a cool looking rugged camera for everyday use, buy it. Just don't submerge in water. I can't believe a huge company as Casio advertises this piece of crap as fully submersable and able to take underwater photos.Check the reviews- in every review dealing w/ the underwater capabilities, this camera fails!! WTF, Casio!
 Great for the money... July 21, 2010

Nice camera for the waterproof/shockproof class of cameras. Intuitive
button design, easy to use with out a lot of sub menu's to make you
crazy. I just needed something to handle the elements with no worries,
and it does the job well. I like it!!!
Not Waterproof! July 16, 2010

Two minutes of swimming on the water surface and the camera died on day 2 of vacation. It had been working just fine until then (of course, it had never been wet until then either)

Pros:
* Stylish
* Delightfully thin
* Waterproof (10 feet)
* Shockproof (7 feet)
* Freeze proof (14 deg F)
* Big bright LCD screen
* Adequate user interface
* Fairly quick boot time (I'm used to a DSLR)
* Quick shutter response
* USB connection treated like thumb drive
Cons:
* Battery requires special tool for removal
* Battery removal required for recharge
* Battery life
* Does not charge via USB
* Lag time between photos
* f/3.9-5.4 (~7mm to 20mm)
Thoughts:
I loved carrying around this camera in my pocket. I hardly knew it was there. I felt comfortable taking it to the beach, or poolside. It's also very good looking. It really stands out from the rest of the point-and-shoot designs. It's just a pain to change out that battery! I'm supposed to keep this little plastic tool clipped on to the wrist strap, according to the instructions. If I did, it would easily fall off and be lost, and then I'd be up a creek. In a pinch, a guitar pick might do the trick, but WOW, a special tool? Really? That was their solution? Too bad it doesn't charge over the USB cable. Then you wouldn't need to take the battery out - problem solved.
I'm really on the fence over returning it.
As for photo quality, it's auto ISO lands on 1600 pretty regularly, and it looks terribly grainy. The 3x zoom is barely adequate, and the videos are pretty small (680x450 pixels or so).
Summary:
Stylish, waterproof and wonderfully portable with a quick startup time. All but brightest lighting conditions produce grainy photos. Minimal zoom, and a special tool is needed to get the battery out for charges. I might have to settle for something that's bulkier and ordinary but takes better photos.

I like this camera! I wanted a good, rugged, waterproof digital camera and I researched these attributes extensively! Something I could take in the woods or when I went kayaking, carry in my pocket and take with me wherever without worrying to much about damaging it from an accidental drop! I have read reviews of the many manufactures of rugged cameras and I chose Casio because I have been wearing Casio rugged G-Shock watches for years, which have lasted for years and I'm sure if I replaced the battery would still be running now! I'm not a camera buff but I like what I see when I take a picture! I can't judge video quality because I haven't used this feature! Overall I like this camera, it is a little small for my hands but I don't find it to difficult to use. I need to buy a camera float and that will happen in the near future or I might just make up a tether for now!
All I hope is that it lasts as well as my Casio watches and I'll be pleased! Only time will tell!
