Change the default settings before use November 17, 2006

I read all of the online reviews posted here on Amazon before I bought this camera. When I got it, I was very disappointed with the quality of the photos. It seemed that my old 3MP camera took better quality photos. However, I learned from the camera manual that the problem lies with the camera's default settings. Here are my suggestions. When you get the camera, go into the setup mode and change the following settings. Suggestion #1 In the REC menu, turn off the digital zoom. Suggestion #2 In the QUALITY menu, change the Photo Quality from NORMAL to FINE. From some reason Casio does not have the camera set to its optimum settings. I am sure the negative reviews posted by people here on Amazon were made by people who did not make these minor adjustments to the camera. [...] After I made these two adjustments, I was very happy with this camera. It now takes great photos! This is just my two cents....

Casio, which has made a series of extremely good Exilim series cameras, has made some odd tradeoffs with this one just to get to 10MP. While the resolution goes from 8MP on the EX-Z850 to 10MP with this one, the movie mode does not get any better (VGA) and both the photos and movies suddenly take up much more space. No I'm not talking about 10MP vs. 8MP. Compare the size of photos at 5MP from EX-Z750 vs. EX-Z1000 and the Z1000 will only be able to take 70% of the photos of the Z750 with the same size SD card. And you get 12min of movie on Z1000 where you get 22min on Z750, even though it's same 640x480 resolution. On top of that the NEWER Z1000 is 25fps while the older model is 30fps. What's up with that? It's in the fine print in the manual. Also, while the resolution is a bit better, the Z1000 comes out overly contrasty and sometimes blurry from overexposed highlights - this is shooting with identical settings and under identical conditions. As a loyal Exilim user up to now, I was disappointed by this one and plan to return it and stick with my older model.

Stunning Pictures May 31, 2006

The other review of this camera had to have had a defective model, I have played with this camera now for over a week and it has taken some of the most stunning pictures I have ever seen for a digital. Some were close to 3MM quality, with brilliant detail. The blur that was mentioned is simply a matter of getting used to a camera with such a high pix rate and sensitivity. The more I learn the camera the better my pics have gotten. Stunning Camera. My advise TAKE YOUR TIME and learn the camera, don't just click a few pics and go, "oh well" thats not good.

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1000

I purchased and paid for a Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1000. The third day after it was received, it failed. I sent the camera back to Casio and after about three weeks they returned it to me. Having called several times, I was unable to locate the camera. It seemed that the employees were too lazy or too inefficient to check about this camera. But for the fact that I had a proof of delivery from United States Post Office the camera may have been lost by the incompetence of the Casio repair system. After multiple calls of an almost prayerful nature I finally found out the order number of the camera and was told it would be a few weeks until the part could be obtained. About a month after I purchased and paid for the camera it was returned by Casio. It was dropped at the doorstep without any requirement for a signature.

I opened the box couple of days after I received it and attempt to take photographs. The alleged repair did not cause the camera to work properly as is promised in the advertising and their manual that comes with the camera.

I sent it back to Casio again. I was told that this camera would be replaced with a new camera within seven to 10 business days.

The camera was purchased and paid for July 12, 2006. Casio says they will return a new camera to me after September 18, 2006. The reason they gave is that they do not have a replacement camera and they have to wait for new one to come from Japan. The date of this writing is September 7, 2006.

I intend to file a suit against Casio for fraud [the intentional misrepresentation of a material fact to cause the customer to act to his/her detriment] along with a request for punitive damages.

I would advise no one purchase a Casio camera because their warranty service is nearly worthless. I called Casio about 10 times and never received a single reply. On the 10th time, I was told by the representative that she had called me. I told her there was no such call on any log. She said she did not leave a message. Then she said someone answered the phone and hung up. Then she said she called my Florida telephone number. I check my Florida telephone number and no such call was of received. She then gave me a phone number in New Mexico. I checked the telephone log on that telephone number and there was no such call. A feeble excuse was then made saying it sounded as if someone answered the phone and hung up. I retorted, if I wanted to convey information and the telephone did not operate properly I would call again. She never would answer why she did not leave a message.

To make Casio and better corporate citizen and to cause them to produce a better and more reliable product and raise their awareness of the importance of customers, PLEASE DO NOT BUY CASIO!

Stay Away.. Better cameras out there May 29, 2006

23 out of 36 found this review helpful

I purchased this camera last week at the local Ritz Camera. I put it to the test against my friends Canon 400 and my 5 year old Kodak 4 MP. Both other cameras took much brighter and clearer photos. Additionally the performance in low light was abysmal. The digital zoom is not very good and pictures with even a little optical zoom seemed blurry. This camera also has the problems of its predecessors in that in order to charge the camera or to connect to a computer, you must use the cradle. It is not very convenient if you plan to travel with this camera.

As a positive the user interface is actually pretty good, and the screen is very large and bright. The battery life is also supposed to be about 2-3x better then competitive cameras. Other then that the camera is betting on marketing 10MP rather than performance.

I have already returned the camera already and bought a Canon SD630. I'd stay away from this unless you think it is impressive to have 10MP.
