Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

Casio Exilim EX-S770 - Poor camera quality, overpriced

Advantages: Nice design
Disadvantages: Bad photo quality, overpriced

...supposed to be an SLR or a top of the range digital camera, but there are far cheaper cameras that'd take better acceptable pictures than this. Almost every person that has been in a photo taken by this camera has commented that the camera makes you look rough and a lot worse than if you looked in a mirror. This is not an exaggeration or people just being vain or paranoid - this camera honestly doesn't do anyone justice. I took the same photo 3 times, one with this camera, one with my camera phone (S500i) and one with Sony Cybershot DSC-T30. The DSC-T30 isn't much more expensive than this camera, but has amazing picture quality and sometimes the photos get mistaken to that taken with an SLR. The picture I took was of a friend and in the DSC-T30 picture, the image was sharp, realistic colours and was a generally nice pretty picture. On the camera...

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1200

Casio Exilim Ex-S500, Excellent Camera

Advantages: Robust, easy to use, looks great, large high quality screen, Best Shot scenarios
Disadvantages: Could come with SD card / protective case

...- and the picture is generally decent! This might be because of the anti-shake function it has - It has 3x optical zoom - a must if you intend to zoom in on objects (optical zoom is better than digital zoom) - You can navigate to photos taken by the day/month/year you took them. It provides a calendar which you can click on - and it provides a snapshot of the first picture on each day that you took. - It records video pretty well - There are 33 common scenarios (Best Shot), which you can pick, and it will automatically set up the camera for that scenario, e.g. portrait picture, flowers, candlelight portrait - The camera is extremely robust. I've dropped this while walking, and it's still working as well today as the day I got it. I've also managed to jam the lens - turning it on and turning it back off unjammed the lens (great work Casio...

Review of Casio EXILIM CARD EX-S500

Casio Exilim EX Z-60 digital camers

Advantages: Large LCD screen, 6 megapixels, anti-shake feature
Disadvantages: Complex 'best shot' menu/settings, Photo Loader not Mac-compatible

...many yet. The 'disadvantage' mentioned above of the complex BS setting is not really a complaint as for digital camera newbies like us the more auto settings we can have, the better, but there are about 85 different modes and it can take some time to find the correct one. Despite this, we have had great results and the quality has always been great - we would highly recommend this to anyone, particularly those of you who like the point and shoot approach....

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z60

Casio EXILIM "ZOOM!" EX-Z1050

Advantages: Inane amount of pixels, Easy to handle size, 2.6" display
Disadvantages: Graning in darker areas, No memory card supplied

...Overview: The camera overall exceeds my expectations as a consumer device, here Casio have gone to great lengths to incorporate the latest technology into a small, lightweight and durable piece of equipment. This camera is truly pocketsize, and yet, nothing is compromised by it being yet smaller than the previous models. With the falling prices of technology, having waited for the release of this newer improved, and above all cheaper version of the camera was well worth it. The camera offers an above all superb 10.1 Mega Pixel resolution, resulting in excellent quality imagery, and a range of different settings, meaning that the camera can be applied to any situation to capture the best image possible at almost any desired resolution. Image: With any digital camera, the major selling point, for me, and many prospective...

Casio fx-83EX is a great school calculator!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...will be some useful functions on these type of calculators (like solving quadratic equation and drawing out graph transformations etc.) that you cannot do on the Casio fx-83EX. But even now, at university, i still keep this calculator as it is so easy to use and has useful functions that you sometimes don't even get on the very expensive calculators! I would definitely recommend this product! Another last note is to say that to be honest, you don't even need to bother with the instruction manual as it is so simple to use and it is a commonly used calculator in schools so the teachers are bound to know how to do everything!...
