I was looking for a small camera I could fit easily in my pocket or purse. This one fits the bill. It only has 3x optical zoom, but with the 8 mp resolution, you can easily manipulate your pictures on the computer and crop in even further. The picture quality is great. It was very easy to learn to use and also has several manual settings for the advanced user. I would recommend the Exelim to anyone looking for a small, easy to carry camera.

Camera is okay, not great. Optical zoom is lacking...while you can zoom in, the picture comes out extremely blurry. Hard to take night pictures, you have to hold your hand very very still for it to come out clear. I'm getting an SLR camera with better zoom features.

Making all the fun stuff in life small enough to carry, creates limitless possibilities. The Casio Exilim 8,2mp camera is very small in size but very big on features, ease and convenience. I go to music events at the beach on Maui where I live to film them with my Casio camera. It is so easy because the camera fits in my small pocket. I can take it out at a moment's notice and start capturing the event on the 8GB mini storage disc i bought with the camera. The disc can be easily inserted on the side of the camera. It can hold up to 1HR of video, which is a lot! When I get home, I simply use the included computer USB cord to transfer the video onto my laptop computer. This is easily done using the software that came with the camera on a CD. After transferring the videos onto my laptop, I sometimes post them on Utube  or Facebbok to share with friends and the world! No problem!
