Customer Review: Great Camera from Casio
Summary: 5 Stars
So I purchased the Ex-F150 with high hopes. And so far have been very pleased with the results. When push comes to shove, the fc150 is a point and shoot, so you cannot expect the quality to be the same as its mother camera the fc100 slr. I previously owned a Canon Powershot 750 7.1Mpxl camera, and I think that the casio takes better pictures with its many settings for lowlight, high speed and numerous other settings. These allow shots that were previously impossible with my Canon, the video looks fantastic (if you want to see the slowmotion vid's i have taken search my username "bboysloth" on youtube.
My only complaint is that from the time I take the picture (which it always captures at the right time) to the time I can take the next picture takes a good 3-4seconds. Probably due to the fact that with most of the settings the camera is performing multiple functions, and combining information of many photos that it took all at once to combine them into the great photo you see later. So given the functions that the camera is performing depending on settings, the wait time is understandable.
My only other complaints are that the manual is HORRIBLE in teaching you how to really use the camera and its exorbant amount of cool features, which leaves it mostly up to you to figure out how to use each feature. This IS facilitated by a very simple and straight forward menu, but never the less was a slight disappointment for me upon receiving the camera. Also when you delete a photo, BE CAREFUL, because there is also an option (which I now hate) to delete all photos on the SD card right next to the delete 1 picture option, so if you are in a hurry, be careful not to wipeout all your pictures by accident (which has happened already to me twice).
When you are using the high speed features for low light, fast moving, or anything else, the quality of the shot does reduce to 9M instead of the camera's full capability of 10M but unless you are making a HUGE blow poster of your creation, you will not notice the difference.
Overall a great camera, especially for the many features and video options that you get. Again, don't expect the video to out-due a camcorder, and don't expect that just because it has a CMOS sensor that it will outperform an SLR. But I would say that it is one of the closest things I have found in a point and shoot to getting the features of an SLR (and working at best buy has allowed me to test pretty much every camera out there).
Hopefully this review helps.
**I will also add (as I misplaced it quickly) the usb connector (to connect the camera to a computer/device) is kind of proprietary and hard to find. So be very careful to not misplace the cable, or you will have a great time finding another one...i do beleive it is a 6 pin mini usb to usb 2.0 cable...
