    4 of 5 Great images for tiny camera! Sunday, July 10, 2005
    EEEE from Westchester, NY   

    Got this because it is very small; takes best pictures when the white balance is manually selected for sunlight, indoor incandescent light, cloudy, flourescent, etc from the menu. I only use 5 MP FINE mode and my images are very good. Flash is tiny so be aware it reaches 8-9 feet at the most to produce a detailed image. Battery charge never runs out each day. Just snap in to the included base and it charges. Get a 512 SD card and you are set (approx $20 at Buy.com) Fits in my old Nextel i1000 leather case and clips to my waist! Sure, big paperweight cameras w/bigger lenses do better but they will be left at home- I have 1 of those and never use it. This Casio Z55 I carry everywhere!
