Great Camera!

I was looking for a rugged camera that I could have in my jersey pocket and have available anytime. It worked well for snow sports on a recent trip too. Solid images, but I have not delved too deeply into the functions yet.
If only it were JUST A LITTLE BETTER !!!

It's great having a 'real' camera (not a cellphone) that I can just have with me. I've got other cameras but they're just too clunky to have with me all the time.
Pictures are of SURPRISINGLY GOOD QUALITY for a camera of this size! Of course it does better outdoors than indoors with flash.
Battery compartment: you'll need better fingernails than mine. A ridiculous oversight.
Battery won't charge when hooked to PC. Not a major thing but it means removing the battery every time - not easy.
OVERALL: RECOMMENDED - Good for what it is - but Casio engineers dropped the ball on a couple of items that should've been easy to address.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA FOR UNDERWATER USE!

I purchased this camera before a trip to the Caribbean where I knew I'd be doing a lot of snorkeling. On my first trip out with the camera the memory card compartment came open and the entire camera flooded with saltwater. Needless to say the camera was ruined completely. I had the camera for less than 30 days and was hoping Casio would stand behind their product as it is advertised as waterproof. I shipped the camera to Casio with an explanation of what happened. They have denied any type of claim indicating that they do not cover damage caused by liquid. Again, this is advertised as a waterproof camera that did not turn out to be waterproof. I called and spoke with a supervisor who said he'd get back to me. After not hearing back I placed numerous phone calls until finally someone told me that the case was reviewed and closed. They were not going to replace or refund the camera. I am very disappointed in Casio and can not recommend this camera to anyone. Terrible design for an underwater camera so beware!
Not Waterproof!

Five minutes of swimming on the water surface and the camera died on day 2 of vacation. It had been working just fine until then (of course, it had never been wet until then either). Casio's corporate line was our warranty only covers repairs. Well, if I had to wait to get it repaired, I wouldn't have any vacation photos. Do not buy this camera if you want a camera you can use in water.
ergonomic and rainproof, not rugged and waterproof

I took my camera snorkeling in Thailand. I dove down a bit, holding my breath... could not have been deeper than 6ft. When I surfaced, the lens had moisture clouding the pictures I took for a few hours and the speaker no longer worked. I did not wash off the salt water after use (would you have thought of that?) and the paint is chipped and corroded now. Most of the metal that was exposed is also corroded. Then, when I went to download the pictures I had taken, the memory card and cable connection latch had apparently corroded to the point of locking up. In my efforts to open the camera, the plastic snapped off exposing a very corroded metal latch. I also dropped the camera about 8 inches... just enough to send a crack through part of the casing and through a screw hole, compromising any hope of waterproof integrity.
The camera looks and feels nice. It has good functionality. But it fails to be rugged and waterproof. Because of the misleading marketing, I feel that this camera deserves the lowest rating. There are many, cheaper cameras who perform better and quicker than this one. If you get it, get it for it's ergonomic design and think of it as merely rainproof.
