A great pocket camera. Compact, light, excellent battery life and outstanding image quality. I purchased this camera just before Christmas last year. I've been very happy with the image quality. I use a 256 meg card in it and can take a couple hundred shots on the highest quality setting. The battery lasts long enough to fill up the card 2 or 3 times. On our vacation to the east coast of the US last spring I shot hundreds of pictures and took a few short video clips and never had to recharge the battery.

Video quality, image quality, size, weight, ease of use, and more.
Weakness:
The built in memory card will only hold about 5 pictures. Definitely replace that when you get the chance. I have a 1GB card. I bought this camera for a mountain bike trip to BC this summer, and got rush delivery on it. Off the bat I was impressed with the camera's size, since it is a definite plus to have something small and compact when riding on a bike with the camera.
Customer Service I haven't come into contact with the customer service department yet, I guess that is a good thing! Similar Products Used: Canon Powershot A300

Size, build quality, speed of start up and handling, battery life, picture quality (at ISO 50, 100 and 200). movie quality, past movie mode, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual modes. Quick access to ISO WB shutter priority and focus modes, unlimited user setting memory groups.
Weakness:
The flash is very underpowered, noise is high at ISO 400, no auto bracketing. This is my go anywhere camera and it's very near perfect for my needs. I either have it in my case or in my pocket. I carry it in a slip in plastic case which came with a card reader so it's always ready. If you want to read an excellent review which sums up how I use my 750 and that goes into painful detail about what the camera can do then read http://www.kenrockwell.com/casio/exz750.htm. For me the camera needed to be pocketable, have decent manual overrides and most importantly take good quality photographs. This meets al those criteria. Considering it has a telescoping lens it's incredibly fast to start up so you don't miss a picture, it has a large clear bright usable 2.5" screen, accurate and flexible metering and focuses well. It also has a just about usable optical viewfinder and a very weak flash which is disappointing. It is small enough to pocket easily but quite weighty with a solid all metal construction, this gives it a quality feel..

Wonderful camera, small, ready to shoot very fast, I caught a pic of a moose darting across the road while riding my bike. I reached into my jersey pocket, pulled it out, turned it on and shot within a few seconds. Many options to keep you busy having fun while shooting away. You can aford to play as you just delete what you don't like. I like this camera as you can see from my rating. I hope my problem with the LCD is just an isolated issue. If I continue to have problems with this LCD or have a continued delay in getting my camera back, I would most likely adust my rating downward.
Weakness:
Well the camera was sent back to Casio upon my return from vacation, August 15th. I was told Casio is awaiting parts, and I should wait 10 business days before contacting them again. I overnighted the camera back to Casio $40 expense, but it will be returned to me UPS ground, so another 3-5 days for shipping back. As you would assume I'm bummed about buying a new camera and having it fail within a couple of weeks and then have to wait about a month (hopefully) to get it back. I hope the problem with the LCD is just a one off and not a weak point. I obtained this camera just before leaving for a couple of vacations the end of July. The first vacation, week long houseboat trip on Lake Powell, the camera worked fantastic. I was able to use its many options, Sunset, Twilight, etc. to create some wonderful shots. The second vacation a week long bicycle ride in the upper panhandle of Idaho and the camera again was working great, until half way into the vacation the 2.5" LCD went bad and was not usable. I was able to continue taking pictures, and found out how important it is to have a viewfinder. Upon returning home and uploading all the pictures to my computer, I was pleased to see I captured all the sites I wanted to record. I can use Photoshop to adjust and play with them, so I did not lose anything. Customer Service Waiting on Casio to repair...the camera worked great for a week and a half. This is their time to shine!
