Warning about Casio camera's (EX-s500)
I was nearly going to purchase a casio camera, but read customer reviews about the "Lens Ring" falling off.
Shortly after I sent Casio an email concerning the claims. This is what I got back...  Turns out that it's true. I don't know how common the problem is, but if it ever happens, you're screwed out of $200. I think i'll get a Canon instead

Every Casio watch I've owned has broken. Just from that personal experience I wouldn't trust putting down that much cash on a digital camera by them. Got me a Panasonic instead  I'm lovin it right now.

I was shocked when I heard this about the Casio camera's. I always seen casio as in the same leauge as Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc...
I'm going to get a Canon SD600, that should keep my happy.

lol@"THE TINY CAMERA IS A PIECE OF FINE ART"
 The only special thing about Casio cameras is that they have really, really good battery life. Last edited by subliminal; Jun 20th, 2006 at 06:29 PM.. |

Is this the camera from the Hot Deals section that was from Costco? If the ring breaks then just return it and get full customer satisfaction.

LoL I can't believe you got that back as a response from Casio. Well, when I first read it, I thought it must've been coming from an international tech support department, but no, it's from some guy in Markham...or so says the signature haha
Fine art...bah

that guy needs to take ESL lessons.
back to the original topic, ALL compact cameras have fragility problems. canon has it's own share! do a search for E18 or cracked LCD on google. i had a SD300 for over a year and never had issues, mind you i kept it in a case at all times |
