This camera easy to use, has great quality pictures with 3.34 MP. Long battery live.

I've had my Casio for just over 2 years. It is extremely easy to use and with the hard drive, I mindlessly shoot shots at the highest resolution (2048x1536)knowing that storage is no issue. Having the HD has changed the way I shoot photos since with "no storage issues" I take multiple photos per topic and decide later on my computer which ones I'll use and delete the rest. Accessing photos with the USB port is as simple as plugging in the USB cable and double clicking the "drive E:" icon that appears in My Computer. Although the Casio software is ok it is not as effective as some of the commercial software that is available. After trying a few packages I've settled in on using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Irfanview (which is free) to edit my photos. I've printed 8x10 photos on my Epson ink jet printer with Photo paper and the results are superb. A high resolution, poster size photos can be printed. Since day one, I've been using Kodak rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and battery life has not been an issue at all. The 3x optical zoom I use extensively and I've never used the digital zoom. An excellent camera that I highly recommend.

We have used this camera on several three week or longer trips, carrying extra rechargable batteries and using a bigger storage chip. We get up to 1,000 photos, sometimes things get a little slow after 800, who cares!

Weddings, camping, Grand Canyon, Penobscot River: the camera is flexible from macro flower shots to large vistas.

Easy to use, easy to remove unwanted photos, EASY EASY EASY to upload.

Love this camera, it works hard and takes great photos.

I have owned the Casio QV 3000EX for over 2 years and have found the setup and use of the product extremely easy. The 340 MEG drive enables you to take many pictures between downloads. The option to insert rechargeable batteries and off the shelf batteries is another benefit. I use the camera often and highly recommend it over the others I have seen.

I bought this camera in 2000, and it broke in 2006 after many thousands of shots in almost a dozen countries. It produced accurate color, great (for the era) resolution and clarity, and had a decent zoom. The night shots were good, and the panoramas and films as well. Low-light sensitivity was wonderful, and I never felt that a rainy day would hamper my abilty to take a photo that accurately reflected the world as I captured it. The capacity with the microdrive was revolutionary and a great boon as well, not having to change disks or memory sticks every time you filled up 64 mb with photos.

And then it broke. I thought, big deal, surely cameras have come a long way since then! I hobbled by with a borrowed ultracompact Casio for a year, and finally settled on a Nikon Coolpix P80. It produces sharper images at greater range, and has tons of features I never dreamt of with my Casio - yet it can't focus worth a darn. I'm discovering little niggling problems that I never even knew could pop up - and that says volumes about the quality of the QV3000EX.

My experience with later Casio cameras hasn't been so rosey, but Casio should be proud to have made such a fine camera, and any buyer should be proud to own one.
