This camera is small enough to fit in your pocket or a small handbag and takes high quality pictures. The LCD screen is larger than on most digital cameras and the menu is far easier to operate and more intuitive to operate than the Sony digital cameras I've used.
Downloading pictures to the pc is really easy - you just plug a small docking station into the pc and sit the camera in it (this also acts as the charger). I had no problem installing the software and picture quality has been excellent.
Shutter time is much quicker than any digital camera I have used before and the camera handles action shots well. You can also take video clips with sound, which were of higher quality than I expected.
I chose this over the Z55 model because having compared the Z50 and Z55 specs on Casio's website I had to look hard to find any difference and the Z50 was much cheaper.
On the negative side, like practically all other digital cameras I looked at, the Exilim doesn't come with a case.
The only really annoying thing about the camera is that only basic instructions are included in the manual. If you want to read detailed instructions you have to read a pdf file - very inconvenient. Having said this, I was able to work all the menus quite easily without having read the detailed instructions.
