I Currenty work in the retail camera buisness which i have done for over ten years and sold a wide range of digital cameras, having spent lots of time with different models i get to find which cameras perform well and the ease of use,I took several pictures with the canon ixus 860 and the sony dsc-T200 and the casio proved better than these more expensive models..I must say the casio range are my ultimate favourites with great features and crystal clear pictures, the one that I have chosen is the ex-s880. great build quality good battery life and one touch video button,and also the new youtube feature in the best shot modes.. this is one i would certanily recommend for an easy to use point and shoot digital. and with 2 years warranty from casio how can you go far wrong.!! just one final thing.. anyone that gives this camera a poor review must have a faulty one!!
