Casio QV-R40

I really love this camera. It has recorded most of my best moments in my life for nearly one and a half years. The functions are easy to use, user friendly and take no genius to figure out how to use them. It has been my first digital camera and I bought it at quite a bargain of just about 150 quid, with 256MB SD card, mini tripod, casing, 2x rechargeable AA battery and its charger. The picture is up to standard although somehow I find that the quality of pictures taken is much more affected by the skills of the photographer rather than the camera itself. Basic photo-taking skills apply with ... more

I have been sceptical about digital cameras in the past due to some bad experiences. Slow to load up poor pictures and little battery life were amoung the many problems. All of which were solved by Casio. I am not an expert by any means but I found this camera so simple to use. It has an incredibly quick start up time, less than some manual cameras.

Not that many buttons on the outside but that adds to ... more

Excellent all round camera for it's cost. great quality pics, even with zoom.

Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for the flash to charge up again but that's not too much of a problem unless you need to take loads of photos immediately after another. easy to load to PC even for a novice! even presents them nicely for you to view in months or years to come. nice rehargeable batteries included with charger. Batteries last a good few hours! Slightly bigger than the ... more
