This camera has terrific specs. It sports a large LCD screen. HD movie capture. However, there are deal breaking (return pending) cracks for me:

PROS:
- very good macro (closeup - 2-9 inches) shots with fine detail
- 720p HD capture is easy, good quality
- shake compensation (but it is digital)

CONS:
- Poor light/contrast on shots (shot look dull)
- Pictures at low ISOs are VERY noisy
- Zoomed shots are very noisy
- LCD has 10% taken up by menu (right side)
- Ergonomics awkward with grip

[...]

Where to begin. Well the camera has terrible picture quality, when you look on the computer it looks grainy and blurry regardless of the settings. Also after a few pictures the camera begins to give you a "please wait" after each shot and to get rid of it you have to go to factory reset. To top it off I sent it to Casio and a "technician" that i spoke to over the phone and showed little to no concern. Don't every buy Casio spend a few bucks more and get a Canon. My Droid 5 Mega Pixel phone camera works better.
