Summary: The only thing great about this camera is the size
Comment: I have had this camera for about 7 months. Right from the start it took mediocre pictures (semi blurry), but I forgave it for that because I wanted something small and cool looking. After seeing some comparable cameras though that my friends have I now know that the images mine took were really unacceptable. To add insult to injury something internal to the camera came loose recently and I had to send it in to Casio. No problem I thought, I have had it less than a year and that's the warranty period. Guess what, they want $150 to fix it! Ridiculous. You can get a better camera with higher MP for that price. I see a lot of folks were happy with this camera, and that's great, but beware the horrible warranty dept should you need a repair. Bunch of thieves.

Summary: Great little camera!
Comment: This is a very good camera. I like it because it is not big so you can carry in any purse. It makes good videos. The screen is big enough. Very easy to navigate through the functions. The pictures turn out good, I`ve seen better ones, but for the price I payed, it was really really worth it!!!

Summary: Decent camera, defective batteries
Comment: The EX-Z75 is a nice slim camera with an absolutely amazing macro mode (images of my keyboard with macro mode look like the dust is magnified under a microscope!). My wife and I own two of these cameras. Unfortunately, we were unable to take either of them on our honeymoon last week due to defective batteries.

When we got the cameras on Christmas 2007, everything was great. My battery died in Feb 2008. Instead of a constant red light, the charger gave a flashing red "error state" light. Casio quickly sent a new battery and acknowledged on the phone that the batteries for the EX-Z75 around last fall had problems. An internet search about EX-Z75 will confirm this (do your homework!). In July 2008, both my new battery and my wife's battery both died and gave the flashing-red error indicator on the charger. THREE dead batteries in 7 months. Casio sent two more batteries via 2-day mail with no questions asked -- though we had to borrow my dad's camera for the honeymoon.

When it's working, the pics are pretty good. 7 MP mode gives slightly blurry images at full resolution, though everything's sharp at 5 MP. And 5 MP for a camera of this size is admirable. The flash is a little weak and may give some noise/speckling in the images in dark areas, though outdoor and well-lit images are superb. And the macro mode is amazing, as I mentioned. If only longer focal-length images were so sharp at 7 MP...

Overall a good buy if you can find it on sale for ~$100 and consider it a 5 MP camera instead of 7 MP... though you'll want to call Casio right away and get an extra battery!

Summary: Don't buy this trash
Comment: This camera is a beautiful trash!
I bought it 6 month ago for my wife because it looks cute.
However, its battery died after 1 month. We called casio and they sent us a new one. But this new one died again yesterday.
We are so disappointed with the BS battery. Without a reliable battery, this camera is just a beautiful trash.
Don't buy it.
