Casio QV-3000EX Digital Camera

Pros: Lots of Storage!
Cons: Price is too High!

Casio has always been considered in my book the low end of the digital cameras and now with the QC-3000EX they are in competition with the major players like Cannon, Minolta, Nikon and Olympus.

The Casio QV-3000EX is a 3.34 Megapixel camera...

Pros: Microdrive
Cons: Quicktime movie feature could be longer

Well, didn't everyone get a little Casio keyboard for Christmas one year or was that just me? Seriously though, Casio has been producing digital cameras for a long time and now it looks as if they may have a 3 megapixel product to rival such digital...

Pros: Microdrive, Picture Quality
Cons: Slow writing time

Overall, an excellent camera. I love mine, use it daily, and would buy it again!

The picture quality is wonderful. Coupled with a high quality color printer and photo paper, this camera produces pictures that rival any commercial photo...

Pros: Great images, flexibility from full automation to manual control, good menu system
Cons: VERY HIGH SERVICE COSTS, Battery life, lack of sunshade on backlighted viewer

Our QV3000EX is a great camera, and was worth the cost when we purchased it shortly after the model was announced. Many reviewers here and elsewhere point out all the great features, no need to repeat them here.

That said, I'd like to relate...

Pros: Price, Storage capacity, Color accuracy, Flexibility
Cons: Storage time on the microdrive

A 3 megapixel camera for less than most 2 megapixel units!

I purchased my QV3000EX for $320 at an online auction. I later purchased a 340MB microdrive with USB reader for $120 at auction, and a Maha MH-C204F charger with 8 AA 1600mAh...

Pros: Tons of memory for taking photos, decent software package, fast downloads
Cons: price, standard zoom features

There are a few things to look for when you buy a digital camera.
1. The memory it can handle for photos (i.e. number of photos)
2. How many megapixels are the photos (i.e. quality of photos)
3. The dimensions of the photos (i.e. sizing...

Pros: Good digital pictures that are easy to download through a USB connection.
Cons: Very Short battery life. Microdrive problems; Customer Service; no ability to adapt another lens.

When I started looking for a digital camera in about June 2000, I researched and read many of the reviews that were written about the 'state of the art" digital cameras. Even though I felt the QV3000Plus was a little pricey, I believed at the time that...

Pros: Picture quality;ease of use; features; viewing options; accurate colors
Cons: setting up USB; loading bundled software; need larger memory card

The QV3000EX is my second digital camera. I've enjoyed my Kodak DC120 for the past almost 3 years. My first choice was another Kodak. I came very close to purchasing the Kodak 3.1 megapixel model. What stopped me? In a word, battery. I read a review...

Pros: Microdrive, picture quality, ease of use
Cons: Lense cap, no lense adapters

Well, as much as I love photography, I am getting tired of paying a lot of money for film and developing. That's initially why I bought a digital camera. I wanted to take lots of pictures of my growing family without the high cost. By using a digital...

Pros: IBM microdrive compatibility,standard form factor, high res
Cons: Difficult getting microdive/compact flash out of camera

If you haven't been living in a cave for the last ten years you no doubt have have seen the rise and subsequent proliferation of cool, gadgety digital devices replacing tried and true analog ones. This scenario is playing out in the world of point and...

Pros: Great image results; many options; lots of storage
Cons: A tad bulky and heavy

Having the Casio QV-3000 for over 8 months now, I can say with confidence, that it has been well worth the money. At the time, the camera was the first to sport a 3.3 Mega Pixel resolution. Taking pictures at a standard of 2048x1536 resolution, I would...

Pros: Storage Capacity, 3.34 Mpixels, easy to use, nice lens, FUN
Cons: Uses lots of battery power, a bit slow (both are common to digicams)

Film would sit in my 35mm for ages before being developed. I dislike waiting to fill a roll of film, collecting rolls of film, taking film to developer, going to pick up photos which I then discover are bad or destroyed or who knows what. I top that off...

Pros: Microdrive with 340 MB of storage, easy menu set ups,excellent night shot feature.
Cons: Drains batteries, focus problems, no TIFF file output.

What sold me on the QV3000 was the IBM microdrive, the fact that it holds so much still images for the money is cheaper than buying the equivalant in 32 or 64 MB Compact Flash cards. I also liked the fact that it used Compact Flash verses Smart...

Pros: A lot of features for a small price tag.
Cons: Does not take add on lenses or filters

I recently purchased the Casio QV 3000EX to photograph a trip up the California, Oregon and Washington coasts.

The camera more than matched my expectations. I am an artist and photographer so I need any digital camera to be very flexible in...

Pros: 340 Meg IBM Microdrive
Cons: No rechargeable batteries, charger or AC adaptor. No USB support for Windows 95. No sound for video. Large size.

I bought the Casio QV3000plus (the camera) because I was tired of exposed but undeveloped film filling up the kitchen drawers. My wife also has a habit of ordering double prints so we have twice as many pictures that we will never look at again laying...
