I poured over review after review of tons of different digital cameras before going with this one. I chose this for a few reasons: The bright orange color, the anti-shake feature, the face recognition feature and the fact that it had a lot of good reviews. It was on the cheaper side of the digital cameras that I had looked at but after using it I realized that quality didn't reflect the price! This little camera is by far the best point and shoot I have ever used. I even like it better than my SLR digital (Although mine isn't a good one like Canon). The BestShot mode is excellent and takes the guess work out of taking great pictures! The resolution is crystal clear, the focus modes are amazing and all the different BestShot modes are great! It's so small and compact you can take it anywhere and the lithium ion battery charges so quickly! I would highly recommend this product to anyone! I think the only downfall is that the manual that comes with the camera is severely lacking on telling you all about the different features however you can find this manual online in full at the Casio site. Love this camera!!!!!
