If you want a handy point and shoot camera that takes decent pictures, this one is great.

Size:
I have no complaints about the size. Most cameras can't fit into my small pockets (face it, girl pockets are TINY!), but this one slips in great. I esp. like carrying it in my back pocket so I can whip it out easily when I need to, and since it's so slim, it doesn't look bulgy back there. Another plus, and this is purely vain, the slim size creates a lot of product envy in other people. So if you like people fawning over how cool your camera looks, this is good for that. =)

Picture quality:
For casual picture takers, this should be sufficient. If you are particularly picky about picture quality though, I'd recommend something else. I've seen several Canon Powershots with lower MP that took better pictures than this one.

Functionality:
I'd say it's very simple and intuitive to use. The interface is very clean and the Best Shot features make it a lot easier to take better pictures.

Overall:
I like this camera a lot. I've used two older Exilim models in the past, this one makes three, and I've liked all of them. The size really can't be beat, it takes unlimited movies (well, unless you run out of memory), and it's very fast. Again, if you want super nice picture quality though, go with something else. It really depends on what your priorities are.

Caveat:
This camera is great for taking pictures of other people, but not for taking pictures of yourself. When you use the Best Shot function for self portraits, it has this really odd time delay, so you don't know when the shot will be taken. If you can get over that (or just don't use that function at all), then you should be fine.

As for the picture quality it's just perfect and very easy to use. The camera turns on very fast. I'll update my review if i find any flaws.
I just returned Olympus FE-340 - well designed a camera too, a bit larger though, AND yields picture indeed of poor quality (very pale, morbidly pale) compared to this Casio camera. I'm happy for now.

Photogrphy is my hobby and I cant be lugging a professional camera everywhere so having this little camera in my pocket has really help and It takes wonderful pictures. There is also a setting that I love that takes multiple pictures in a matter of seconds press and hold and comes out like a steller slide show. Overall this product is awsome and charging is soo easy I dont know what other people are talking about.

My wife and I have been amazed by the quality and features of this camera. This is our favorite product purchase in several years.

Picture quality: excellent

Interface: outstanding; very intuitive

Video/audio quality: surprisingly good

Whiz-bang features: remembers specific faces of family members so that it can prioritize them when focusing; can be set to snap photo when primary subject smiles; video can be set with 5 second buffer, so that you capture previous 5 seconds whenever you press record

My husband actually bought this little camera for himself because I am always complaining to him that I am never in any of our family pictures. I have a big, fancy SLR camera that takes great pictures, but is so bulky and difficult to cart around to certain events. Also, I have a high definition cam corder that also creates great high quality video, but the files are so huge and difficult to upload to the web to share with family.

This little camera is perfect for anyone wanting to take casual pictures and videos on the go. I use it everyday to capture random moments in my family's life. I upload pictures directly to my blog almost everyday, and I am also able to easily upload videos to YouTube. This is the perfect camera for me, especially with two little kids growing up so fast. I captured my daughter's first steps recently and immediately uploaded the video to my blog and YouTube so that family in different parts of the country could share in the moment.

Even though the reveiws I read gave this camera high marks for speed, I didn't find that to be true. Even with a high speed memory card, and all the bells and whistles turned off, the response time was too slow to capture my grandson in action.....or even quickly enough when I had his short lived attention. I wouldn't buy it again, nor recommend it.

Also, even though the Amazon Marketplace providors are supposed to allow you 30 days for return, 17th Street Photo wouldn't make a refund or even an exchange. Their cut off is 7 days. I have purchased things from them previously with no problem. I just didn't agree with their return policy, since it isn't in line with the information on the Amazon page about Marketplace returns.

Great camera with ONE exception!

The USB cable is proprietary. While the camera input sort of looks like a mini-USB, it is NOT!

Come on Casio! I am glad you dumped the dock but where is USB!!!

I love this camera! I needed a camera for personal use to take pictures when I go and trips, etc. I could not have chosen a better camera. I went to NYC for the first time (I'm from GA) a few weeks ago. The pictures turned out amazing! Great for the person who doesn't want to worry with whether the light is right or if a moving car will mess up the shot! Just point and shoot and a perfect picture every time! No complaints! Everyone always comments on how great my pictures turn out and many want me to take their pictures with my camera!!

I love the camera. I had a previous model which was just as good. I am really happy with the Casio Exilim. Compared to other small cameras like that I was especially looking for a very slim camera which fits in my very slim purse. This digital camera is basically the only such slim one with lots of features. I can recommend it.

First the good stuff - this camera is the slimmest one I've ever owned. It's thinner than my phone when I throw it in my pocket, which makes it easy to take with you wherever you go.

Now the minuses - picture quality is good, not great. Compared to my Canon camera, which was only 3 megapixels, picture quality and lens on this thing is not as sharp. The photos look fine, but they are noticeably not as crisp. Also for some reason, I can't figure out how to take a timed photo with this. It has some neat auto-photo capabilities (like, it takes a photo only when subjects smile), but where's the regular old timer, Casio?
