More camera questions

[DocRafiki]

Can anyone tell me about the Casio Z3? It seems to have everything I want. I want to make sure it's relatively easy to use, takes good pics esp in low light, etc. Just read the specs, now I need real feedback.

The others I'm looking at closely are the Canon S230 and Canon A70. Was looking at Nikon Cool Pics, but they don't have the audio that I want, plus they're a little bit larger. I want TINY!

TIA

oh, and what is CCD? I was looking at an ad for the Casio EX-Z4U but didn't see that one at the store.

Can't help you with the casio, but I have a Nikon CoolPix 3500 and it is not very big at all. We don't use the video on it so I can't let you know about how that works, but we got great pictures with the camera on our trip to WDW in June.

Have a great trip to Europe.

Lady M just pointed out your plight to me, Jen. (She's nice like that. )

But I can't. Don't know anything about that or any Casios. Send a PM to Zurg, and Zurgswife also.

Hey, you packed yet??

Ha ha ha! So funny! rolleyes: to me)


It seems to not be a widely-available camera. I found one person on the DIS who had it through the search function. I've pretty much decided that's what I'm going to get... gotta love TINY. I just hope I don't lose it!

(I'm actually leaving in 3 days! -- countdown is for my actual b-day)

Here's a pretty in-depth review of the Z3. Hope it helps.

Oh wow, Jen, you ARE almost ready to leave. Have a super time. When are you in Chicago for your layover??

Here is another review, looks like a nice camera, from this and Lurieh's link.

I haven't read a lot about the camera.

I do have a very good opinion of the Canon A70, however Canon hasn't provided the emperor with the appropriate bribe yet so while I like the camera a lot I am holding back on the praise.
