This is my first experience with digital cameras.
After some study, it is , so far a good one. The colors are beautiful and loaded into my Dell easily. Very short life of supplied batteries and the fact that this model is no longer produced are the only drawbacks detected.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's NOT in the box..., June 12, 2005

This camera is a very nice product. The size is small, only a bit thicker than a Canon S410/S500. And though it is not as cute as the more popular and thinner Casio models, the price is a lot less and it uses stardard AA rechargeable batteries, which can be a big plus in certain situations.

However, unlike the previous version (QVR51), Casio is NOT including the rechargeable batteries and charger with the QVR52, at least not in the box I received from Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera, but weak battery door is a design flaw, June 23, 2006

I've had this camera for about a year and really like its performance. It's great on batteries (2-AA) and the features are extensive. Unfortunately, it suffers from Weak Battery Door Design syndrome, depending on a small plastic catch to retain both the batteries and the media card. My camera finally bit the dust on a trip to Sweden, when it fell from a car seat about two feet to the ground. The battery door catch broke and now it can't be used unless you hold the door closed with a clamp or really strong tape. If they had only designed the door as well as the rest of the camera-- in metal --I'm sure it would still be working fine.

This is a common flaw with many electronic products. How many dozens of cameras, radios, CD players, etc. have we all seen with broken battery doors over the years? Unfortunately with this item, it's basically unusable if it breaks and impossible to repair.
